NJ's Catholic dioceses release names of priests accused of sexual abuse

New Jersey's Catholic dioceses on Wednesday began releasing the names of priests and deacons who have been credibly accused of sexually abusing children over decades — lists that were expected to include hundreds of clerics, many of whom have long since died.

The Newark Archdiocese posted its list shortly after 9:15 a.m. — a total of 63 names that included 33 priests who are deceased. Some of the priests had one victim, but 33 had multiple victims. Eight of the living priests, all of whom abused more than one person, have been defrocked.

Those dates go back to the 1930's... we should all be furious at how long this has been going on, how many victims there are, and how long the church worked to cover it up.

And this is just one dioceses.
