Leaders of the Catholic Church in New Jersey revealed the names of priests "credibly accused" of child sex abuse Wednesday to help victims heal as more revelations have been made in recent months. The pope also expelled a top priest in New Jersey days after the names were posted.

The list shows nearly 200 members of the clergy with ties to New Jersey who have faced allegations of child sex abuse. Nearly all of them were either sanctioned by the church, charged with a crime or both.

Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, the archbishop of Newark, said the list includes all those from New Jersey who were credibly accused of sexual abuse of minors dating back to 1940.

“The revelations of clergy sexual abuse of minors throughout this past year have provoked feelings of shock, anger, shame, and deep sorrow throughout our Catholic community," he said. "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.

"This list of names is the result of an extensive review of Archdiocesan records dating back to 1940. It is our sincerest hope that this disclosure will help bring healing to those whose lives have been so deeply violated. We also pray that this can serve as an initial step in our efforts to help restore trust in the leadership of the Catholic Church.”

Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal also released a statement, saying he was "pleased to see that our task force’s grand jury investigation has prompted the dioceses to finally take some measures to hold predator priests accountable."

"While this is a positive first step towards transparency and accountability, I hope this spirit of openness continues during the course of our ongoing investigation and in response to our requests for records and information," he said.

Despite the recent actions by the dioceses, Grewal said, the investigation remains ongoing because no institution or individual "is immune from accountability."

"We know from the hundreds of calls that we have received over our tip line that there are many others who were abused as children and as adults, both by diocesan clergy and clergy members in various religious orders," he said. "The investigative work of the task force continues so that we may assure that all survivors of clergy abuse are heard and all abusers and institutions are held accountable for their acts. To this end, we anticipate taking criminal action wherever appropriate and releasing comprehensive information at the conclusion of our investigation.

Tobin had announced that the Roman Catholic Dioceses in New Jersey were undertaking a complete review of their files so that the names of all priests and deacons who have been credibly accused of the sexual abuse of minors could be made public.

The dioceses are undertaking this action in coordination with the Attorney General of New Jersey's ongoing task force examining the issue of clergy sexual abuse.

In the same statement, the Archdiocese of Newark and the Dioceses of Camden, Trenton, Paterson and Metuchen said they are committed to the establishment of a "Victim Compensation and Counseling Program."

This program will provide the resources to compensate those victims of child sexual abuse by clergy and employees of the Dioceses in New Jersey whose financial claims are legally barred by New Jersey's statute of limitations, accordng to the statement.

Tobin said the program also will assure that victims who have not received any financial compensation will be paid, regardless of whether their claims meet the time requirements of the statute of limitations.

Here is the Newark archdiocese list:

Here is the list that shows their fate:

Here were members of the clergy with ties to New Jersey whose allegations of child sex abuse were already made public:

  • Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the former Archbishop of Newark, the founding Bishop of Metuchen and Archbishop Emeritus of Washington, D.C., was removed from the ministry earlier this year after allegations that he abused a teen 50 years ago came to light, church leaders announced. The alleged sexual misconduct resulted in settlements.
  • Kevin Gugliotta, 55, of Mahwah was sentenced to 11 and a half to 23 and a half months in the Wayne County Pennsylvania Jail last year after pleading guilty to one count of dissemination of photos/film of child sex acts. He must also register as a sex offender for 25 years. He faced a maximum potential sentence of seven years.
  • Marukudiyil Velan, a former Visitation Roman Catholic Church priest in Brick accused of molesting two children, was acquitted on those charges by an Ocean County jury in 2014. However, a jury of six men and six women found Velan, better known as "Father Chris," guilty of criminal sexual contact with the children's mother.
  • The Rev. Romannilo Apura, 67, a priest at St. Martha's Catholic Church in Point Pleasant Boro, was charged in 2014 with engaging in sexual contact with a teenage boy in Trenton, according to the Mercer County Prosecutor's office. Apura was arrested at his residence at St. Martha Parish by detectives with the Mercer County Prosecutor's Special Victims Unit, said Casey DeBlasio, spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office, in a news release. He eventually pleaded guilty to aggravated criminal sexual contact.
  • Former Wyckoff Priest Michael Fugee, who admitted to sexually abusing a township teenage boy in 2001, was defrocked in 2014, NorthJersey.com reported. According to the report, an archdiocese spokesperson said that the Vatican has returned Fugee to a lay state. He had been a priest for 20 years, the report said.
