Are you referring to the statistics you cited from the Australian Royal Commission? How many countries did their data cover? Just Australia, or other countries as well? What year or years did their data cover?
Got a link to the stats you cited?
I think the Australian sample was pretty scientifically done and probably represents the 'western' Christian-oriented countries pretty well. I offered the case study for the purposes of the discussion. If you, however, have had your pride bruised, and you think your "nearly exclusively" was indeed the correct expression to use and not just a bit of careless hyperbole, then, by all means, feel free to back it up.
What year or years did their data cover?
The last 50 years up until 2016, if I recall correctly.
Got a link to the stats you cited?
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse website and final report would have been dead easy to find for anyone interested in the issue.

I seem to have ruffled your feathers. You used a clumsy turn of phrase, that's all. The topic is a seriously ugly one and deserves to be approached with some decorum.
