From a report at the first link below:
New Jersey’s five Roman Catholic dioceses on Wednesday released the names of nearly 200 priests and deacons accused of sexually abusing children — including the former archbishop of Newark.
“In an effort to do what is right and just, we are publishing the names of diocesan clergy credibly accused of sexual abuse of minors in the Archdiocese of Newark,” said Newark Archbishop Joseph Cardinal Tobin in a letter.
The Dioceses of Camden, Trenton, Paterson and Metuchen also released their own lists.
The lists follow many similar records of names published by dioceses across the country recently. Many of the identified priests are dead and the abuse they are c of allegedly occurred years ago.
One wonders why the Catholic Church is not more diligent in ferreting out and exposing pedophile priests on a regular basis.
