According to The Official Report of THE UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS

- PDF File at Link -

The number reported from 1950 until 2002 was in excess of 10,000.

And of course, this is not all of the abuse.

The report is 291 pages of detail of who, what, where, when, why, how, how many times, etc. It is quite sickening to look at.

It is clearly not a "handful" of individuals, as was stated upthread.
