    There’s a Robert De Niro, Kevin Bacon, Brad Pitt movie from 1996 called Sleepers that is partly about sexual abuse of boys by catholic priests. The fact that such a movie actually had an audience back then tells you that this has been going on for a long time.

    The movie is based on a book where the author has claimed that it is a true story from his childhood.

    Also, Rational Wiki has an article on th specific topic you’re asking about https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Child_sexual_abuse_in_the_Roman_Catholic_Church
