One day before Apuron issued his Declaration to Archbishop Hon and the media, Fr. Pius made an identical statement to the media. The press release made by Fr. Pius as Rector of the Neo RMS is acutely embarrassing to the current leadership of the Catholic Church in Guam. It defies our Apostolic Administrator, Archbishop Hon, and he was even smug, arrogant, and condescending about it.
Pius has basically told our Apostolic Administrator, our clergy and religious, and the rest of Guam's Catholics, to shove it where the sun don't shine. He tells Archbishop Hon he is wrong about the property transfer to the RMS. He had a hand in the firing of the former AFC members. He had Apuron sign the deed giving the property away to the Neo RMS for free.
Pius is smug because he knows that the NEO now owns and controls the most valuable piece of property that this archdiocese has ever owned. He's in the driver's seat. And he is not worried about Apuron because he has Apuron in his pocket. Who else can immediately get Apuron to issue a Declaration that backs up the statements and position that Pius issued the day before? I mean, Apuron's whereabouts is unknown to Archbishop Hon, but Pius can get Apuron to issue a declaration within 24 hours of his? Imagine that! That is power and control indeed.
Think about it. Apuron is backing up Pius, not the other way around. Just who is in control here? Pius of course.
Fr. Pius must be immediately removed as Rector of the RMS, sent back to his order in Malta, and ban from taking part in any Catholic activity in Guam. The Presbyteral Council must pass a resolution to that effect, and Archbishop Hon must issue a Decree of Removal.
We need to take back our Church in Guam from the likes of Pius and his putrid cronies.
Pius has indeed become putrid to Guam's Catholics.
Archbishop Hon: Are you getting this?

Exactly which priests are in this Presbyteral Council so that we can encourage them to act!

you know the 1st three will not agree.
DeleteDoes anyone know what the email addresses are for those on the Council who are NOT Neo? Maybe if we make it known to them that we want Pius removed, our voices may be heard. I won't bother sending a request to the Neo controlled priests because we all know it will fall on deaf ears.
DeleteWhy not call the Chancery, get the email addresses and post them on Junglewatch?
DeletePresbyteral council frankly has no spine. They wrote a letter to the Holy Father. Spineless useless Jeff wanting power position terminated the letter to the Holy Father. Yes useless pathetic Jeff. What good can he possibly do. Useless immature no experience Jeff.
DeleteI wrote yesterday about the dangerous situation on Guam whereby Fr. Apuron, in his capacity as Archbishop of Agana, is either (1) under the control of Fr. Pius / the NWC leadership as Webster wrote about above, or (2) in concert with them to the detriment of the Catholic Church of Guam. Under either or both of these circumstances, the Church cannot function properly in many aspects --- spiritually, administratively, at present lacking clear direction for its clergy and the faithful; and the Church is stymied in its works to provide temporal care to the faithful as called for in the gospels. The power of the seat of the Archbishop is currently misused and, because that power is held by Fr. Apuron, his leadership is undermined by his huge lack of credibility and in his “sharing” of that power with Fr. Pius and possibly others. The proof here is the current situation of the Church on Guam. It is in a state of disarray and disharmony. I am thoroughly convinced that the first step to restoring the harmony that the faithful seek is to effect the removal of Fr. Apuron. With his removal, so goes the pseudo power and influence of Fr. Pius. Fr. Pius only has his pseudo power and influence so long as Fr. Apuron is Archbishop. Removing Fr. Apuron is in effect also removing Fr. Pius --- a “two-fer” deal from which the Church on Guam will surely benefit.
ReplyDeleteWho is Fr. Apuron
ReplyDeleteAnthony Sablan Apuron downgraded! That's who! LOL!
DeleteFr. Apuron is the priest that molested the altar boys in Agat. He eventually became the archbishop of Guam and since he joined the NCW, he is now known to them as Brother Tony. Same difference.
DeleteSince escaping justice when he fled island two months ago when the heat was turned up, his proper name is now:
DeleteApurun
A-P-U-R-O-N (enbolden R to the 3rd power) as in RETURN
DeleteRESTORE
RESIGN
NOW!
ReplyDeleteSituation cannot be resolved until Apuron is removed as Archbishop of Agana in title.
Apuron is disobedient to the Holy Father which means he is no longer in communion with the See of Peter. Combined with Apurons sexual activity with young men combined with his theological understanding of the Mass of which he has no intentuon to confect the bread wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. We can safely conclude Apuron is no longer the Archbishop of Guam. He gave his Episcopal authority to Pius years ago. He is not the Archbishop of Guam. No longer deserves respect of priests or people.
So I had a little discussion with a protestant friend of mine and he basically echoed what the NCW is teaching about the Eucharist that it is nothing but bread and wine.
DeleteI would not receive the Eucharkst from a NCW minister for the simple reason the intention of a NCW minister to confect the Eucharist is not according to the Sentire Cum Ecclesia of the Catholic Church.
ReplyDeleteSame with the Sacrament of Marriage. Those Marriages witnessed by a NCW Minister may well not be valid Marriages. The church can supply. However if your marriage was witnessed by a NCW minister best to consult a Catholic Priest. You can also sue Archdiocese for providing a bogus priest to perform the Sacrament.
Absolute sacrilege! Validity, while difficult to prove, is prudent to assume for the sake of one's soul.

ReplyDeleteYes Prudent to assume.
I really feel that we need to get our wedding vows renewed because both Apuron and Dakon Tenorio were the celebrants.
ReplyDeleteThe church supplies when Sacraments are in question. Validity of a sacrament is hard to prove Given the knowledge we now have concerning Apuron it would be impossible for me to receive a sacrament from him. For i would question if Apurons intention conforms to the church. I have doubts so i would not attend his Mass.
ReplyDeleteRegarding marriage his previous marriages are valid. I dont want to cause you stress. However, if that were me to be safe i would renew marriage vows before a catholic priest to be safe. Dont mess around because we never know what God will call us to our final Judgement so we need to be prepared.. we cannot trust Apuron or NCW to guide is in the life of sacramental grace. Same with confession confess to a catholic priest not a ncw presbyter. Should we die with sin unforgiven problem for us. Find a real priest be safe on your path to salvation.
Archbishop Hon don't be sway and manipulated by these twisted sisters. You can point out the twisted story and lie by these jungle turds.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Apuron is out there calling Hon a liar and you're worried about the Jungle! LOL :()
DeleteAny word on the appointment of Father Paul Gofigan as the new rector of the Cathedral?
ReplyDeleteThis morning on K57 Patti Arroyo said Fr. Paul Gofigan would be installed as rector of the cathedral this coming Sunday at the 9:30 a.m. mass. She said Msgr. Benavente will be rector of St. Anthony's. I hope these announcements are true. It's not quite what we asked for but is a step in the right direction. Where will David C. Quitugua be assigned? Will Bibi Arroyo retire from St. Anthony's? I have noticed a more genuinely Catholic atmosphere at the cathedral during the last few weeks and even the Uma'tuna Si Yu'us is more Catholic lately. Hopefully things will continue to improve.
