This is a very well done in giving an understanding of the state of the Catholic Church in Guam right now.  So many factors are at play, most importantly the shock that comes when those who have been sexually abused come forward after years, decades, of silence.  One person of courage telling his story gives the same courage to another person and on and on.  What was once a painful and deeply held secret is finally spoken and their is a chance for justice.

I understand the tribunal in Rome investigating/trying Apuron has reached a decision but that decision is awaiting signatures.  If Apuron is found guilty, he could appeal, so the decision isn't really final.

Also read that ++ Byrne is closing the seminary run by the Neocatechumenal Way at the end of the year.
