  3. Although there is no doubt that those who have been abused are victims of the predatory behaviour of their abusers, I quite like the habit of referring to them as "survivors", rather than "victims", as the latter is a disempowering term, while the former recognizes that they have had to be strong and courageous to live with the consequences of the abuse inflicted on them.

    IN any case, well done to Tim, and to the senator, and all those petitioners that have moved this proposed legislation.

  4. This is one Senator who is not afraid to take that extra step for justice. Lets see who in the committees who would recuse themselves.

  5. Question: is/was Mariles Benavente in the Archbishop's community (the one wherein he was himself a catechumen)?

  6. Sexual abuse/molestation of kids is not just a Catholic problem. It affects all of us and I don't see how any senator in his/her right mind would vote against this bill. Furthermore, any senator who votes against this bill should be voted out of office next election!

    1. 100% Agree on this. We are all watching you SENATORS for you action or inaction. We will ensure we vote anyone who is against this BILL.

  9. While verses may sometimes be rude,
    Don’t let our point be misconstrued:
    Our furious calls
    Regard groping for balls,
    Not a searching for some fortitude.

  10. First of all thank you to Sen. Blas for introducing the bill. I am very pleased to hear this. Second of all I read in the Diana blog that they are on some kind of hunger strike until our souls are "converted." I heard both of these great news today. The statute of limitations is lifted and now the NEOS are on a hunger strike. Somebody pinch me I must be dreaming.

  15. Every day sickening News reports of Guam's Archbishop.

  16. My question would be, how can someone remain defiant when the ship is sinking? The devil must have promised archbishop something really special. Hey archbishop......the devil's a liar......

  17. My God this Archbishop of Guam we are reading about sounds like a Monster.

  18. This is the oft mentioned sin of pride.
    Perfect example of how damaging it can be.

  19. Senator Blas is doing the right thing. Thank you.

  20. Thank you Senator Blas.

    Now we have to be vigilant as the bill is discussed and amended. Which senators will try to introduce a "poison pill" amendment rendering the bill useless? If this happens we might need to accept "the will of the body" (Legislature) and this unfortunate fact:

    Guam, Where America's Day Begins and Pedophile's Dreams Come True.
