  3. Sex in exchange for Boy Scout badge. That's one for the ages. One or two more foundation stones removed and this baby is going down. We have really lost our moral voice. Tragic.

      No, Anonymous at 11:08 PM, this is not about a "Neo priest." The actions of Fr. Louis Brouillard predate the establishment of the NeoCatechumenal Way by Kiko Argüello and Carmen Hernandez in 1964.
      In August 2016 at the public hearing on Bill 326-33, Mr. Leo Tudela's testimony revealed he had been sexually abused by Fr. Brouillard in 1956.
      Although I take strong exception to much about the NCW, I have to be fair and acknowledge that these despicable actions were not done by a presbyter of the NCW. However, it is clear to me that in the case of Anthony Sablan Apuron, the NCW is working overtime to keep him out of sight while they strategize on maintaining their presence in the Archdiocese of Agana.
