I know someone who works for the Catholic Church in Germany who was on a job training about sexual abuse. The church representative said that in case anyone of the workers discover abuse, they should report it first to the church so they can deal with it internally first.
They all shook their heads and replied among: "Ehhm, no way! We would actually commit a criminal offense if we didn't immediately report any sign of abuse to the authorities!"

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.
