In the United States, however, where there are 37,000 priests, no independent study has found fewer than 15 percent to be gay, and some have found as many as 60 percent. The Vatican has conducted many studies on its own clergy but never on this subject. We have no reliable figures on just how many priests in the Catholic Church are gay.
