It wasn't news, but it was known by some that before Archbishop Byrnes moved into the Archbishop's house at the old Chancery, he performed an exorcism on the place. Given the evils that reportedly occurred in the Archbishop's house, including Apuron raping his own nephew (which was in the news), Archbishop Byrnes was right to be concerned about this "house of horrors" being occupied by demons let in by Apuron's acts and who knows who else and what else.
But given what we know now, after ten years, and after hundreds of lawsuits, a federal court trial, and bankruptcy, what about all the other places where these evil acts - the sexual molestation of minors, mostly boys, by many members of Guam's clergy, in otherwise sacred or at least blessed spaces (schools, churches, rectories).
Notable places would be (in no particular order):
- The Capuchin Friary
- Santa Teresita (Mangilao)
- Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (Hagat)
- San Isidro (Maloloj)
- Nuestra Senora de la Paz y Buen Viaje (Chalan Pago)
- St. Anthony School (Tamuning)
- Fr. Duenas School (where the infamous Fr. Louis Brouillard "taught" for several years)
All of these places and probably more should be exorcised followed by many rosaries and Masses for reparation. Otherwise, "Satan, and all the evil spirits, [will continue to]prowl about [this diocese]seeking the ruin of souls," including yours, our children, and our children's children.
