Original Note:
None of the sources in the proposed community note state that the Church has a higher per capita rate of abuse. They all document Church abuse, none compare that to the general population. Recent sources show approx. 4% of priests engage in abuse vs 7% for teachers https://sites.law.duq.edu/juris/2019/03/16/catholic-priest-sex-abuse-scandals-how-the-media-shapes-the-public-perception-of-child-abuse-in-the-catholic-church/
