There are about 425,000 catholic priests in the world right now, what percentage of those do you think abuse children?

A few bad apples?

I don't want to divert away from the Penn thread, but right up to the highest level (current Pope), it was known & policies created

- Priests relocated / names changed
- Victims investigated and threatened

If a chain of private schools did this by helping pedophile teachers

- change their names
- relocate to new schools
- threaten victims

This would be a small thing because they have a hundreds of thousands of teachers?

The Catholic church did this...in countries around the world. SYSTEMATICALLY. Threaten the victims, move the predators, deal with it internally.

How many is too many for you? How should it have been dealt with?

We've heard many times how for many people/schools "Football is a religion".

Those Joe Pa rallies last year were just as creepy as a religious revival.
