In case you're wondering why Jimenez is playing nice with the NCW...
The NCW, pursuant to their catechetical directory, is required to give the bishop 1/3 of the proceeds from each 2nd scrutiny. If every community averages 20 members and each member gives an average of $ 15,000 in cash or equivalent, that’s $300,000, of which $100,000 goes to the bishop.
On Guam alone, about 20 communities have been formed, so that’s $2 million to a bishop who allows the NCW.
Any questions?
BTW
Fr Luis Camacho had until 2/2/26 to file his appeal with the Vatican. It has now been 7 months since that deadline. It’s hard to believe the Vatican hasn't acted on that appeal yet. Have they concurred with the other two findings of guilt? And if so, why is it being hidden from us?
You know if he was cleared, we would have heard about it in our faces.
Wow didn’t know that. Thanks Tim

ReplyDeleteIt pays to be a bishop...at least in Guam. Apuron's salary was $42,000 per year. Nevertheless, by the time he fled Guam in 2016, he had a six-figure bank balance and several homes: 1 in Guam, 1 in Huntington Beach, 2 in Las Vegas, and possibly more.
ReplyDeleteWell it all makes sense. Now we know where the black trash bag goes
ReplyDeleteAnd the NCW mandates tithing (giving 10% of income) at the end of the Second Baptismal Scrutiny. The tithe goes to maintain a "community of goods" in the member's community (the small, closed group to which they belong). The fund, maintained by the community's "responsibles", goes to pay the travel costs of the catechists, convivences, etc.
ReplyDeleteNow, I can hear somebody yelling, "Calumnies! The tithe is completely optional!"
Well, it's not optional if you want to be judged worthy to progress to the next stage by your loving catechists. Otherwise, you'll be left behind by your community.
We should ask, "If NCW members tithe, how much do they have left over for their parishes? For most people, that's probably little to none.
I’ve been saying all along, they are a parallel church. Their obedience is to their catechist not their pastor. Their support is to their community not their parish. To Kiko, not the Pope. They obey if it suites their agenda. They cry persecution if they don’t get what they want. Again, follow the money. Follow the trash bag.
ReplyDeleteForgive me if this already been answered but who let these neos to start in Guam from thr very beginning ? Why are some parishes still allowing them to be active? Can we get a list of those parishes they are active on so we don’t go there?
ReplyDeleteYes I have questions. Which parishes allow the neos to have a separate mass? Can we get a list,
ReplyDeleteIt's a long story. The basics are that Apuron let them in around 1995. But it was Adrian Cristobal who brought them here. The deal was that Apuron would give them the run of the diocese in exchange for protection in case his wicked past ever came out. Since Adrian knew Apuron's wicked past and wanted to succeed Apuron as bishop, it's not hard to imagine Adrian saw an opportunity to blackmail Apuron. I'm writing a book about it. As for the parishes, I'm not sure where they are active now. I do know that they appear to have consolidated at their headquarters in the building they bought in Asan.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Where can I buy the book to explain it?
ReplyDeleteIt's a work in progress. Meanwhile, I will refer you to Chuck White's blog, www.thoughtfulcatholic.com and look for the resources on the NCW. There is also the book THE POPE'S ARMADA which I believe can still be ordered online.
DeleteNot sure about now, but tamunjng, Chalan Pago, Cathedral, Barrigada, Yigo, and Asan all had Neo masses. Unless I hear otherwise we haven’t been attending mass at these places. You can spot them a mile away, kiss kiss muah
