New Jersey dioceses name nearly 190 Catholic priests they say were credibly accused of sex abuse

Bishop Dennis J. Sullivan of Camden released the names Wednesday of 56 priests and one deacon in his diocese who have been credibly accused of sexual abuse. Four other New Jersey dioceses did the same.
