  1. Hmm, after hearing AB Byrnes' interview on PNC and hearung his statement, "I hooe I'm here long enough to see this thru," makes me wonder. The statement of "depends on the man with the white hat over there (pointing the picture of the Pope). Is AB Byrnes anticipating to be leaving soon? Does he know what the outcome of Apuron's canonical trial is and askwd to keep it under his thumb until further notice?

    Oh well, hope all will be resolved before the New Year rings in.

  2. I always had the feeling that Byrnes' was only on Guam as a temporary administrator. My guess is that he'll be rewarded with an unimportant Vatican job and a red hat before leaving. If that happens, his successor will probably be another low-ranking American.

    1. Heard Byrnes say he doesn’t like living in Rome.

  3. Are there any Neo-free buyers for RMS yet? The safest thing would probably be selling it to the US military for combined forces' use. They're well on their way to owning most of the island anyway and it would make a ritzy O Club and BOQ.

    4. Correction. It was listed for sale for $3million but not sure it is still listed. That was about a year ago. But Tim is right, that is not Archdiocese property. It belongs to the Carmelite order.

    5. The question was "Isn't the Carmel sisters convent for sale." The answer is NO. It WAS listed for sale. It is no longer listed for sale.

    6. Now that Apuron is gone, any chance the Carmelite nuns will return?
