The president of U.S. Roman Catholic bishops said Monday an upcoming study of the sexual abuse of children by clergy in America in the past 50 years would likely produce "startling" numbers.

But in an interview with Reuters, Bishop Wilton Gregory cautioned that no other comparable study had been done. He called for surveys in other sectors to put the results into perspective because pedophilia was not just a Catholic problem.

"The numbers are going to be startling because they are going to be aggregate, over 50 years, and they will be startling because there is no context.

"We don't have a similar study for the school system, for athletic coaches, for scouting programs, for doctors, for therapists," he said, adding that it would be impossible to say if the numbers were high or low compared to others.
