I’ve heard that insurance for Catholic Churches aren’t any higher than insurance for a different denomination —- the abuse is at the same level as other churches, it’s just that the Catholic Church is so much larger than any of the others.

I can say that the mandatory training programs and background checks that are required to work with children (now) far exceed anything I’ve seen from other churches.

This is almost certainly false. Please provide evidence for these claims.
I can't find the article, which I read years ago. Some quick googling did turn this up:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/do-the-right-thing/2...

Which discusses the fact that the abuse isn't any more prevalent than with school teachers or other denominations.

I second this demand. It is obvious that Protesants carry out more abuse.
