HOW TERRIBLY SAD!
On December 6, 2013, Fr. Paul Gofigan sent the following letter to Archbishop Apuron demanding a retraction for defamatory statements made against him by the Archbishop in front of at least thirty members of the clergy at their recent retreat in the Philippines.
NOTE: How terribly sad. Apart from the ugliness of these accusations, what should have been a sacred time devoted to prayer, renewal, and reconciliation for a bishop and his priests and deacons, was used by the Archbishop to slander Fr. Paul in his absence. How terribly sad.
And lest the issue get sidetracked with some taking offense over the accusation of a "homosexual" affair, let's be clear that the accusation or implication of any sort of sexual impropriety is slanderous of either man on the grounds that Fr. Paul is a priest and Mr. Laztimoza a married man.
The letter is downloadable as a PDF here.
