Shocked by the Pennsylvania grand jury report which found that state’s priests have been raping children for decades, New Jersey decided it needed a hotline for taking clergy sex abuse reports.
What do you know? The line is so busy you can’t always get through.
A hotline created to document reports of clergy sex abuse in New Jersey is receiving so many calls that some can’t even get through. The round-the-clock call center opened last week as part of a new investigation by Attorney General Gurbir Grewal.
I’ve been talking about this for years, and am thrilled the problem is finally being taken seriously. The clergy are the most corrupt class of men in society, and it is past time that we get over the idea that Holy Men are special, uniquely virtuous, uniquely trustworthy. They are no such thing.
