The internal control worked very well for this German priest, who was send to to South Africa after his abuse became public, of course only for job reasons. So well that he still receives 800 Euro per month from the church, they certainly look out for their sheep.

A reason is certainly that they have less surpressed sexuality as they are allowed to marry, same goes for Protestant priests. |
Ah. Its all about nursing the offender and protecting the institutions' prestige. The victims, their lives: leave them to the waste disposal service. By the hundreds, if not thousands.
Late 2010, I think, m there was this church guy on TV, bishop, or priest or whatever he was, a fool in hilarious cloathing, and he said that now it had been enough of attacking the abusers, and that now the time should have come when Christian forgiveness takes over and the anger is being settled peacefully. That forgiving is a Christian duty.
I almost imploded back then in outrage.
