With the sad news of the passing of Msgr. David I.A. Quitugua (The Elder), it is a good time to remember how this brave priest stood up to the now discredited Apuron when no one else would.
We can thank him for calling Apuron to account that one fateful day in 2014 in that meeting with then-Apostolic Delegate, Archbishop Martin Krebs. All would unravel thereafter.
Monsignor knew he would be crushed by his haters. But he did what he did and offered himself on the cross of truth.
It would take four more years before the Vatican would finally pay attention and ultimately get rid of Apuron, but it may never have happened if not for this brave priest.
In 2016, JungleWatch Nation contributor, Robert Klitzkie, posted a two-part post entitled A Tale of Two Quitugua's.
The other Quitugua, known as "David the Tall," was on the opposite side of "David the Small" in the Apuron matter.
Let us pray for the repose of the soul of "David the Small." Perhaps, because of his courage that one fateful day in 2014, his path to heaven may now not take long.
