HIS DECREE...AND MINE. PLUS, A MYSTERY DECREE??



Okay. Now here's my version.



*****

Archdiocese of Agana
Chancery Office

Decree N. 2016-030


After seven seconds of looking at the piece of crap decree that Apuron, David, and Adrian slapped on the CCOG for placing ads in local newspapers in attempt to expose Anthony S. Apuron’s crimes against humanity, a decree that was issued in the evil trio's final moments of their reign of terror, I hereby immediately rescind Decree N. 2016-028 (June 5/16) and furthermore wish to state that I have recommend to Holy Father Pope Francis that  Apuron be immediately removed as Archbishop of Agana and to proceed with his laicization, forthwith. 

Furthermore, particularly for the promotion of reconciliation and deeper communion of all members of this particular church, I have demanded that both Msgr. David C. Quitugua and Fr. Adrian Cristobal resign immediately from their respective positions as Vicar General and Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Agana or face “a more arduous and painful closure to their assignments.” In fact, I hereby release both of them from this Archdiocese to go and look for a benevolent bishop willing to accept them. This is effective immediately.


Given in Hagatna on June 9, 2016 
(the day I was officially installed as Apostolic Administrator).


Most Rev. Savio Hon Tai Fai, SDB
Apostolic Administrator

*****

Hmmm. That language sounds very familiar. In fact, David wrote it himself three years ago:

Apuron letter to Fr. Paul Gofigan, Jul 16, 2013


But now for the real fun. The decree issued against the CCOG is numbered Prot. N. 2016-028 and dated June 5, 2016. However, today's decree notes that there was another decree also issued on June 5, 2016 and numbered Prot. N. 2016-022.

So what was THAT decree? Where is it published? If today's decree is issued publicly and publicly rescinds both decrees, then the second decree must be made public as well. Let's see if Archbishop Hon will let us see it. I have a feeling that Apuron, David, and Adrian were really busy in their final hours of their reign of terror.

Archbishop Hon could go a long way in showing he is sincere about healing in this diocese by exposing the riff-raff that was going on in the hours before his arrival. 

Also, while I suggested this in my version of today's decree, many of us find it ABSOLUTELY SCANDALOUS that Archbishop Hon spent seven days "consulting and reflecting" on the blatant abuse of power by Apuron and his cronies at the 11th hour of their Gotterdammerung. In stating so, Hon gives credence to the what should have been absolutely and immediately discredited. 

I hate to think that it was my letter to the pope that actually motivated the new Apostolic Administrator to take what appears to be a grudging action and rescind what never should have seen the light of day in the first place. Unfortunately it appears to be so. 

SMH.

    1. What is also sad is the fact that many souls have been led down the wrong path by the Church's shepherds who lack supernatural faith. And even sadder is that some of them victimized and inflicted physical, psychological, and spiritual harm to the faithful entrusted under their care.
      Praying for all victims and for justice. St. Michael the Archangel defend us in battle.

    1. Prot. numbers are also used for letters. Nevertheless, it does look like the evil trio was very busy in their final hours.

  4. Possible second decree:

    I, Anthony S. Apuron, OFM Cap., DD, MD, PhD, LMNOP, Archbishop of Agana, do hereby decree that every catholic in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands address me and refer to me as "Dear Leader." Any violators of this decree shall be forced to listen to my CDs on a continuous loop for 17 hours a day.

    1. My music, yes, for your ears,
      listen to my music, please, year after year.
      Dear Leader, yes, you must say,
      if not, the music, must stay, must play.

  5. He should have made his perpetual entrance hymn the Italian classic, "Il Duce, Duce, Duce." Or is that one reserved for when Kiko flies into town?

    Even so, good news enough for the time being. It's a start at least.

  6. Words to remember apuron by: "I'm sorry I raped you. Here, have one of my CD's and my picture." (translation: Hey, what are you complaining about? I said I'm sorry, didn't I? Besides, didn't I offer to give you one of my CD's?)

  9. What, pray tell, were the other decrees recinded? By refusing to publicly proclaim brings speculation into the picture, and thereby, "whispers" within the walls of the Chancery. Tell us what they were. We as Catholics have a right to know.

    1. Anon @ 8:01pm has it been confirmed? Why haven't we heard this from anyone else? I think there should be more transparency right now. Especially because I am an ANGRY Catholic who is waiting for the Vatican to take action against Si Tony...

  11. What about the decrees that are numbered between N. 2016-22 and 2016-28? Does anyone know what were those about?

    2. Possible other decrees. Noone can use/do the following without the permission of its originator:

      1. Can't touch me
      2. For sure, for sure
      3. I lived in Agat so I know everything that was happening there.
      4. He is against same-sex marriage and is anti-gay, so he is incapable of doing what you accuse him of.
      5. Fist-pumping
      6. We have two seminaries

  12. Thanks be to God, that the abusive Decree (Prot. N. 2016-028) has been revoked.

    I was concerned about Canon 300, however easy the work-around may have been.

  13. And how did Fr. Adrian Cristobal earn a Canon Law degree? One has to wonder. Poorly constructed decrees and decrees that shouldn't even be decrees.
