| IMPORTANT NOTICE: | * The following data only includes cases that governments and courts have published and processed. It does not include individual cases currently under investigation as organized crime scenes is the main focus for this chart. * Research shows that only approx. 10% of victims actually speak out, and of those, only 10% make it to the court system. Thus, we conclude that the total cases detailed below are merely a fraction of the crimes committed by the Vatican around the world. | |

Few have been convicted because of statutes of limitation, but the more disturbing fact is that once religious authorities were informed of these abuses, they would deliberately cover up the criminals not turning them in to civil authorities but instead moving them to other states, which leads to understand that amount of victims are epidemic |

| USA | 100 | Reverend Robert E. Kelley sexually molested “50 to 100” young girls while he was at St. Cecilia’s parish in Leominster from 1976 to 1983. He also admitted that he had molested several other girls during his tenure at parishes in Southbridge, Lunenburg and Gardner. This deposition was made in 1996 while Kelley was still serving a prison sentence for his 1990 conviction for raping a young girl in Gardner. He acknowledges being treated in a program for sexual offenders at Bridgewater State Hospital, which leads us to believe that the parishes were well aware that he was an abuser, but article states that this predator had access to a lot of children since he was ordained in 1968, he then lead the church’s Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts programs at Notre Dame parish in Southbridge |

| Canada | 7 | Ottawa priest and former school board trustee Jacques Faucher, was released on a $6,000 bail in spite of facing 12 charges including six counts each of gross indecency and indecent assault on a male. The abuses were commited between 1969 and 1974. Faucher was ordained at Ottawa’s Notre Dame Cathedral in 1960, taught catholicism at several high schools, and served on the French Language Consultative Committee of the Ottawa School Board and as a School Trustee on the Ottawa Board of Education. We estimate that these numbers represent just a very small portion of victims of this predator’s 50 years priesthood |

At the moment, Danish police has received allegations of sexual abuse against more than 30 catholic priests in Denmark.

The hipocracy and useless desicion evidenced on a letter written by the superior of the delegates for the Caribbean of the Miguelitas priests on behalf of the Congregation of Saint Michael Archangel shows once again the characteristic way of proceding of the catholic church, which cares less for the abuse against children by priests, but for its own safety |

| Poland | # unknown for reasons stated in the article | In March 2008, Poland’s Dominican provincial, Fr. Krzysztof Poplawski, publicly rebuked Archbishop Zygmunt Kaminski of Szczecin-Kamien, after Kaminski issued a pastoral letter denouncing an order member for exposing abuse by the priest in charge of local Catholic schools. A month later, Bishop Piotr Libera of Plock, a former bishops’ conference secretary-general, said he had passed the cases of several Catholic priests to the Vatican after they were accused of “reprehensible behavior” with children. However, local clergy told Poland’s Rzeczpospolita daily that other priests implicated in the scandal had not been called to account. Fr. Hans Zollner, the Jesuit pro-rector of Rome’s Papal Gregorian University, told the Catholic monthly the situation was comparable to that of Germany before a wave of abuse scandals in 2010. He believes the same crisis will erupt in the Polish church if it fails to “confront the reality” of abuse. |

| Poland | 5 | The particular cases of abusive priests as Msgr. Michal Moskwa who was convicted in 2004 and given a two-year suspended jail sentence and an eight-year ban from teaching children and Fr. Piotr T(not real name), are an irrefutable proof of the impunity that these crimes have to governments and church regarding pederast priests. An example: Moskwa ignored the teaching ban, suffered no canonical sanctions, and his ordinary, Archbishop Jozef Michalik of Przemysl, returned him to his parish. Prosecutors have brought charges against dozens of Polish priests, securing sentences has been difficult. When imposed, these have mostly been light, suspended jail terms. Most convicted clergy are still serving in parishes, often working with children, while their victims face hostility and exclusion. An accompanying analysis insisted Poland’s bishops had no obligation to pass on information to civil authorities, since the Polish constitution did not list sexual abuse among 10 “grave crimes” requiring denunciation. |
