A New Jersey Catholic priest has stepped down while officials investigate allegations of sexual abuse. He should have been suspended. And Newark church officials should disclose exactly when the abuse report was made and where the priest is now.

Monsignor George Trabold had been working at St. Rose of Lima church in Short Hills prior to him stepping down. The allegations stem from his time at St. John the Evangelist church.

We urge Newark Archbishop John Myers to immediately reach out to parishioners using his parish bulletins, church websites, and pulpit announcements, asking anyone who saw, suspects, or suffered harm by Trabold to come forward, report to police, and start healing.
