 Over the same period there were about 1,000 new clergy ordained per year in the 1960s declining to about 500 per year in 2014 and about 60,000 clergy at any one time.Thus one can say there were over 100,000 newly ordained and existing Roman Catholic clergy (109,694 John Jay p. 4) in the USA over the fifty-year period of the John Jay Report.The 100 convicted clergy therefore represent less than 0.1% of the total number of US based Roman Catholic clergy over the period.
