You say that the Catholic Church had 61.4 % while the C of E had only 14.8% of the child abuse cases. Any unbiased honest person will compare apples with apples. The Catholic church has a school in almost every town, often both primary and high, other Church's may have also but to a much much lesser extent.From the data gathered by the Royal Commission, 61.4% of all accusations against someone in a religious context were in a Catholic Institution. The next worst were the Anglicans at 14.8%.
Figures show 7% of RCC Priests have been accused by someone of abuse, and given that research estimates that only about 20% of actual victims end up notifying authorities, the number of priests who have abused is certainly higher. As it stands some institutions within the Catholic Church have an atrocious number of accused members, St John of God Brothers are 40%, Christian Brothers 22%, and Marist Brothers 20%.
Both as a whole and in it's many parts the RCC has been atrocious when it comes to protection of children in it's care.
In view of its extent, senior clergy and the congregational community were aware of child sexual abuse as a common problem across Australia; they often also knew who the alleged perpetrators were. In the decades before the Royal Commission was established, however, the Church responded with pleas of ignorance, denial, minimisation and inertia, and even colluded to protect abusers. The Commission remarked on an institutional culture that “permitted abuse and silenced victims”. One priest, for example, had confessed his history of child sexual abuse to as many as 30 priests over a 25-year period, but no action was taken during that time to prevent him from offending or report him to the police.

I can't find the data, but was at a training event on Child Safety where it was reported by someone in the know who would be held responsible for stating wrong information that victim data concerning the time length of the abuse found that on average victims in RCC institutions were abused for longer than in other religious and non-religious institutions. This means that if the data was collected based on number of instances of abuse, rather than number of victims, the RCC percentage would be even higher.
George Pell has been released, unsurprisingly, because that is the correct decision based on the way the legal system works. This, however, must not distract from the reality that the RCC is the worst of offenders as far as institutions go, something that has been found not only in Australia but also Ireland, Canada, and the USA.
Personally I think that the RCC dogma concerning sin and forgiveness is deeply flawed.
To be honest the only fair comparison should be comparing the HSC colleges such as Riverview, St Gregs Catholic, with Kings, Grammar C of E. BTW older boys/girls would be much more aware of such dangers therefore not as easy to interfere with.
Celibacy is torture particularly since the sexual revolution, was told that celibacy amongst priests rose following the Sexual Revolution, so the 93% had to be very good to hold onto their vows.
