FUNCTIONALLY KIDNAPPED - NOTE TO THE 37TH GUAM LEGISLATURE

Posted by Tim Rohr

The following is a Letter to the Editor to the Guam Daily Post which was published on 11/28/22. The following is the text of the article with supporting links. 

+++++

Despite the automatic rallying cry every election season of “Our children are our future!” Guam’s lack of concern for its children continues to worsen.

In 2012, a local news story labeled child abuse on Guam an “epidemic.” Ten years later, and judging by the almost daily news, it does not appear this atrocity has improved.

In the 36th Guam Legislature, two bills were introduced to address Guan’s shameful child abuse problem, Bill 299-36 and Bill 312-36). However - at least according to the published history of both bills - neither bill even made it to a public hearing. Maybe our children are not “our future” after all… at least not until the next election.

Substance abuse usually gets the blame for our battered kids. However, family fragmentation, a significant reality in Guam as well as the rest of the nation, is the more likely culprit. Following are some statistics published by Marripedia:

ACLU MYTHS RE ABORTION IN GUAM

The following letter to the editor was submitted to the Pacific Daily News on Sep. 16, 2022. To my knowledge, and after several follow ups to the editor, it was never published so I am publishing it here with the addition of links and references.

By Tim Rohr

According to the ACLU, Guam’s informed consent law for abortion violates the 14th amendment and “causes irreparable harm and unnecessary shame in a community where the procedure is stigmatized.” (Pacific Daily News, Sep. 16, 2022)

That abortion is stigmatized in Guam is an ACLU myth. Compared to a study published by Americans United for Life in 2008, Guam, due to its lack of abortion regulation, was the easiest place in the nation to procure an abortion.

Since 2008, regulation has increased, but not through any effort by “stigmatizing” religious groups or pro-life lawmakers, but mostly via the efforts of The Esperansa Project which purposely steered clear of religious arguments, and in doing so, helped enact eight pro-life laws in eight years.

LONG BEFORE...

Posted by Tim Rohr

 

Long before there were any lawyers or legislators involved there were a very few who cared enough to stand up and say "We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore."

Today I came across an email referencing a post I wrote in 2017 in response to a johnny-come-lately lawyer. The fact is that it was the "regular Catholics" of this diocese - and NOT Lawyers nor Lawmakers -  who brought (and BOUGHT) justice for the victims of the clergy they trusted and supported for decades, if not centuries.

COMMENTING ON PDN'S TAKE ON "BILL TO RESTRICT ABORTION"

Posted by Tim Rohr

PDN: Bill to restrict abortion was stalled until days after election

"Legislation to further restrict access to abortion on Guam sat idle until just days after this year’s general election.

Over a thousand people testified for and against the Guam Heartbeat Act of 2022, which would ban abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected in the womb. The measure was unable to be debated by lawmakers and go to vote on the session floor without final approval from the Legislature’s Committee on Health — until Nov. 10, the day after the final, unofficial results for the general election were tabulated."

Bill 291-36 sat idle because the sponsors did not care to move the bill through the Legislature. Apparently they only wanted to get the credit for introducing said legislation and then ran and hid. Nothing new here.

For contrast, in 2012, and just days before the election, The Esperansa Project pushed then-Governor Eddie Calvo to call for a special session to debate a bill requiring informed consent for abortion - which had been languishing for nearly 2 years.

The session was held and it was quite a spectacle with certain lawmakers breaking into tears, leashing hell on Calvo, and attacking me personally (though not by name), NOT for the actual issue, but for actually requiring them to do their job before an election: which was to publicly take a stand.

A very smart pro-abort senator (BJ Cruz) publicly testified in favor of the bill and then later and quietly added a provision that would require the bill to go through the administrative rules process in the next legislature. Smart guy.

The bill was eventually enacted into law but not until The Esperansa Project had to fight the battle all over again and get the bill past the rules process.

BTW, the informed consent legislation is the law which is currently at issue relative to the ACLU lawsuit re "zoom abortions." 

Note: As time permits, I will add links to the 2012 matter and the ACLU lawsuit later.

EVEN A DEGRADED BISHOP CAN ORDAIN

Posted by Tim Rohr

As we know, Apuron, while having been removed as Archbishop of Agana and prohibited from ever returning to Guam (by the Vatican), was never laicized and remains a bishop in the Catholic Church. 

The bottom line is that Ordination, like Baptism, "imprints" an indelible mark on the soul. And thus even a priest who has been laicized (removed from active ministry) remains a priest for eternity. 

Thus, Apuron will always be a priest, even if he is laicized ("defrocked"). Whether or not he will always be a bishop is beyond the scope of my present research, but for now, we know that the Vatican has not removed him from the episcopacy. So while he is not "Archbishop Apuron," he remains "Bishop Apuron."

Like most of us, I didn't know what that meant...and, at the time of his removal (2018), didn't really care. However, in listening to this...

The Holy Priesthood and the Cities of Refuge

...I think I have a better understanding. 

At about 3:40 into the recording, the priest (name unknown) says: 

Any consecrated bishop can validly ordain, even a degraded bishop can ordain…he has the power. And it’s valid. That’s why…they should be very careful who they choose as a bishop. 

The priest is not speaking of Apuron, or even of any bishop in particular, but of the episcopacy generally, and the power of that office.

Relative to the "Where is Tony?" question:

Knowing the cunning and craftiness of the Neocat Generals - once they realized that retaining Apuron as Archbishop of Agana was a lost cause - it is quite probable to assume that they worked through their Vatican insiders to get Apuron "the H" out of Guam - where the facts were cascading against him - and then functionally hand him over to the Neocats where "even a degraded bishop can ordain," which is all they wanted him for anyway, i.e. to manufacture their army of cloned clerics. 

+++++

A SIDE NOTE: I recently spent nearly 4 months in the U.S Territory of the Virgin Islands. While there, a certain priest with a beard, a youngish guy with a distinctive Italian accent, began showing up and concelebrating Masses I attended. 

One day, the pastor of the parish approached me for no reason other than I was a stranger. I used the opportunity to inquire more about the "priest with the accent." Sure enough. The pastor confirmed that the new priest was a Neocat and, via the VI's new bishop, had been assigned to the VI by the Neocat supporting Archbishop of Boston, Cardinal Sean O'Malley, who had once been the bishop of the VI. 

I couldn't help but put 2 and 2 together. RMS, having been recently ousted from Guam...is now looking for a new home. And by now, has probably found one. 

WHAT I TOLD CARDINAL BURKE

Posted by Tim Rohr

In February of 2017, the Vatican sent Cardinal Raymond Burke to Guam to get to the bottom of the Apuron situation. 

Cardinal Burke presides over trial investigating Guam archbishop

Cardinal Burke sent to Guam to oversee sex abuse trial

Pope: Cardinal Burke sent to Guam because of terrible incidents

El Papa “destierra” a su máximo opositor a la isla de Guam

It was recommended to Burke that he interview me. He declined. I understood. I had no official standing and no position in the archdiocese. In fact, I was really just a "trouble-maker." Nevertheless, after Burke returned to the Vatican, his secretary requested that I send a notarized copy of what I would have told Burke if he had interviewed me. In a way, it worked out for the best. In writing, I was much better able to relate everything as I had come to know it. 

It would be awhile before Apuron would be removed as Archbishop of Agana, and more than another year before the Pope himself would deny Apuron's appeal and officially and finally remove Apuron as Archbishop of Agana. For the record, I set out to do none of this. And my notarized testimony to Cardinal Burke makes that clear. The names of which I do not have permission to publish and whose record is not already public are redacted.

I KNOW THERE WILL BE AN AVALANCHE

Posted by Tim Rohr

Note: For several years I have been urged to write a book about the happenings in the Archdiocese of Agana from approximately 2013 to the present. As the ugliness is still ongoing (the archdiocesan bankruptcy, settlement with the victims, and Apuron's personal trial - which is yet to happen), I am holding off. However, as I sort through old communications that led up to the present "ugliness," I see no reason not to share some of it now. Following is an email between myself and a Vatican official:

Yes, there have always been several others. They've known for years about Apuron, but now they have had enough. The stories coming out are simply horrid. BTW, I just received a phone call from the person who took the three gentlemen to meet with the attorney today. After the meeting my friend met with the attorney privately. The attorney advised that the three are willing to go "all the way," meaning they want to go public about their abuse. Once they do, I know that there will be an avalanche. I've been listening to the stories for many years. Feel free to advise me on anything I should know or do...

Sincerely, 

Tim

HOW TO ANSWER THE ABORTION QUESTION

Posted by Tim Rohr 

"If you're asking me if it is ever okay to kill a helpless, defenseless, innocent human being, the answer is no."

This is how to answer the abortion question. And here's why.

First, it puts you in control of the question. Your interrogator has most likely framed the question in the context of "choice," reproductive freedom, or even "health care." And your "pro-life" answer, such as "I am for life," I oppose abortion," I believe life begins at conception," etc. is easily translated into your being against choice, against freedom, against health care, against women, etc.

THERE'S NOBODY THAT'S REALLY WILLING TO FIGHT FOR IT

Posted by Tim Rohr  

Catholic blogger Tim Rohr, who equated abortion to killing babies, said that regardless of the outcome in the legislative race, a local abortion ban won’t find its legs “because there’s nobody that’s really willing to fight for it.”

37th Guam Legislature's path on abortion unclear, by Joe Taitano II, Pacific Daily News, Nov. 9, 2022

MY NOTE: This is a demonstrable fact. Which candidate made abortion the war cry of his or her platform? None. Where have the sponsors of the Heartbeat Bill been after they introduced the bill? Who is willing to put their face on the news time and time again and call out the baby killers? Nobody. 

WELL, THAT'S WHO YOU VOTED FOR, GUAM

Posted by Tim Rohr 

That an unborn child is a human being is no longer the issue. Science has long demonstrated that the unborn child is not "potential life" as Roe termed it, but a real, living, growing human person. 

The issue now is who can kill that child and when. That's the only issue. And the Supreme Court has said that it's up to you, i.e. the states.

In Guam, given who we just re-elected, apparently Guamanians support not only killing an unborn child all the way until birth, but even after the child is born to a mother who doesn't want to be a mother. (Per the now-governor's testimony to in opposition to a bill mandating normal medical care for a child who survived a failed abortion.)

This is not to say good or bad. This is to say this is Guam: one of the world's most "Catholic" populations per capita. We need to stop lying to ourselves. Guam is NOT "pro-life." Guam is pro-death. Over and over again the majority has voted for death. And we just did that again yesterday.

But not only are the majority of Guam voters "pro-death in the womb," they are pro-self-extermination since nearly 2/3 of abortions are of Chamorro children while the Chamorro population of Guam has sunk to less than 30%.

Well , that's what and who you voted for.

TOO BAD HE DIDN'T TAKE IT

LETTER TO LLG: YOUR PEOPLE ARE DYING

Posted by Tim Rohr 

In 2012, I publicly engaged now-Governor Lou Leon Guerrero on the abortion issue. After she called in to K57 to try and take me out I wrote her the following letter. However, before I copy the letter, I am copying a comment from another very prominent person of CHamoru heritage (name withheld):

"This is so powerful and I pray that this fact will wake her up, at least that part in her regarding her ethnicity as she is so vocal and in the vanguard about saving our Chamorro heritage! It is ironic that in her zeal to protect the right to abort, she is aborting her own race to extinction!"

TIMOTHY ROHR
THE ESPERANSA PROJECT

October 25, 2012


RE: WHERE ARE HIS FACTS?
  
 
Dear Former Senator Lou Leon Guerrero, 
 
 This morning on K57 you asked "Where are his facts?' in reference to my earlier comment that there is abortion on Guam almost every day.
 
Please follow this link for a copy of Guam Medical Records abortion report as required by law for the years 2008 through 2011. From 2008 to 2011 there were 1,157 reported abortions over 1,260 days. That equals one abortion every 1.089 days.
 
Also, Senator, please note the ethnicity data: 642 or 55.49% of those abortions were performed on Chamorro mothers. I am hoping that you see that there is a crisis here.
 
Also, the PDN reported recently that there are nine births per day on Guam which means that we are aborting one out of every ten children with more than half of them being of Chamorro descent. 
 
Does this concern you? And if you do not support informed consent legislation to at least advise mothers with unwanted pregnancies about adoption, then what do you support? Or are these numbers okay with you?
 
Please check with CPS. They have reported that even though they have a waiting list of more than ten parents in waiting, they have not had a child available for adoption in five years. 
 
Something is terribly wrong, Senator, terribly wrong. Your people are dying.

FROM 2012. A LETTER FROM TIM ROHR TO THEN-SENATOR BJ CRUZ

Posted by Tim Rohr 

From about 2009 to 2012, I (Tim) had many heated public battles with then-Senator BJ Cruz. However, during a vote re the Esperansa Project backed bill for informed consent for abortion, Senator Cruz did the right thing, and I told him so. Note: this bill, as enacted into law, is now at the root of the ACLU suit to permit telemedicine abortions. 

TIMOTHY ROHR
THE ESPERANSA PROJECT

RE: BILL 52-31
  
 
Dear Senator Cruz, 
 
 
There is probably no other senator with whom I have battled more in public than yourself. It is certainly no secret that you and I have been on very opposite sides of some very sensitive issues. And there certainly has been no love lost between us over the last few years. 
 
The reason for the letter is to thank you for being the voice of reason yesterday. I'm sure you did not like the spectacle that Bill 52 had become any more than anyone else did. However, you put your feelings aside and spoke clearly about what Bill 52 was actually about, saying:
 
"It's not what anybody else thinks what it is. It's not going to affect whether or not one is pro-life or pro-choice. It's just allowing the women to be informed."
 
No clearer words were spoken yesterday. But beyond that, you said something even more true when you said at some point "this problem is going to have to be treated holistically."
 
You are so right. A society's abortion rate is a measure of its inner collapse. Informed consent legislation is really only a last gasp bandaid to try in some small way to slow the bleeding of a society that has already cut itself - as our newspapers so often remind us.
 
I believe your Bill 415, despite the reservations with some elements in it which I shared in my written testimony in support of your bill, is a large step in the right direction. 
 
I admit, given our previous battles, I was suspicious of your intentions. I even said so on TV. Unfortunately, most of my relations with the Legislature have been immensely soured and my suspicions raised since the night of November 26, 2010 (the debate over Bill 54-30), and a six-month long battle to obtain a copy of the journal for that session.
 
However, your clear and reasoned approach to the issue at large yesterday, in the midst of so much emotion, was a true example of how personal feelings could be put aside and the true work of the legislature can actually get done. 
 
Coming towards the end of the session as it did, your words brought a certain peace to a terribly turbulent situation. And I confess to being the one that probably started that turbulence. I make no apology. I have been fighting to have a fair debate on informed consent legislation since February of 2009 when Bill 54-30 was first introduced. 
 
Whether Bill 52-31 would have ever seen the light of day had I not attacked those who attacked it, is anybody's guess. But we're beyond that now. And again I simply want to thank you for what you said yesterday and I want to express my support for Bill 415, at least in its intent if not in detail - something I would be willing to work with you on.
 
In fact, Senator Cruz, you have my vote. In fact, this is why I am sending this letter and making it public, and copying it to the press. In fact, Senator Cruz, if you had voted "no" on Bill 52-31 you would have still had my vote for simply being intellectually honest and saying what you said about it, which I repeat here:
 
"It's not what anybody else thinks what it is. It's not going to affect whether or not one is pro-life or pro-choice. It's just allowing the women to be informed." 
 
I was so very impressed by how you rose above the personal and did the people's business and that deserves a vote. You will have mine.
 
 
God Bless You and Thank You,

CATHOLIC ADULT STUDY GROUP RESTARTS

 Friends, 

Thanks to Chuck White for picking up what we had to put down a couple years ago. I am unable to continue so it's great that Chuck has decided to put this together. It appears that the format of a "discussion group" will be the same and I'm glad to see that the group will be beginning with a study of the Roman Catechism (Council of Trent) in which Catholic teaching was infallibly and clearly proclaimed. Thank you for your years of faithfulness to our study group which continued for almost 15 years. So now may it continue and many prayers and hopes that it will continue to benefit and edify all those who attend. Please contact Chuck directly for more information. See attached. 

Sincerely, Tim

THE CHURCH OF NICE MEETS EVIL, STAYS SILENT.......AND........???

 Posted by Frenchie.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing"

This famous phrase, often attributed to John Burke, was in fact part of a longer speech by John Stewart Mill during an 1867 inaugural address at the University of St Andrews.

"Let not anyone pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm, if he takes no part and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man, who without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject."

Both messages are clear, in the sense that like the Pharisees of last Sunday's gospel, many people of this Church of Nice on Guam, continue to exalt themselves, for all the "good work" they do, rather than taking an humble approach about the things they fail to do.

Lets explain....

Four years ago we elected the most vociferous advocate for infanticide on Guam, as governor of our island.

 Tim Rohr justly pointed this out in his recent letter to the editor (which can be found in our archives) .

This was done with the acquiescence of many Catholics, if not with their active participation. We have often demonstrated the impossibility for Catholics to allow for the murder of innocent children, while claiming to be Catholic, and presenting themselves to receive the sacraments of the Church, and/or  put forward both their advocacy for murder, and their claim that they belong to the Church.

This creates what is known as a scandal.

During the last four years, Governor Lou Leon Guerrero-Cook has spent unknown amount of Guam's taxpayers' funds to search for an abortionist to come on Guam. Her partner in crime and willing enabler widely known as "Calamity Jane" aka Jane Flores, has been plotting to bring the plan forward, and ultimately created a situation of false narrative to allow for murder activists from Hawaii to be able to prescribe the "morning after pill" to women wanting to abort chemically. ( a dangerous procedure which can have catastrophic consequences for the women involved.)

Four years ago, when pro life Catholic activists were getting ready to confront then candidate LLG for her position on child murder, the all powerful Fr. Richards advised them (wrongly) that the Church had to remain neutral on the subject, in order not to lose its Tax exempt status. We, in these pages denounced such decision, as being cowardly, unethical and immoral. This was enabling evil by remaining silent.

Later, after her election and the return of Archbishop Byrnes from one of his many absences, he sent to the governor a personal admonition (as suggested by canon law) through a hand delivered letter to the Governor. 

Move forward four years.

Fr Richards has returned to the frozen steppes of Michigan, Archbishop Byrnes is still on medical leave, and the Archdiocese is as silent as ever, regarding the evil done in our names.

This in itself would still be upsetting, but unfortunately, there is a lot worse.

None other than the Archdiocese official press apparatus: Umatuna Si Yu'us was clueless enough to allow on their official Facebook page, pictures of some of the influential Catholic groups on island: namely the Court of our Lady of Kamarin #2047 of Hagatna and the Court of Maria Rainan y Familia #2450 of the St Anthony St Victor Parish, meeting with the Governor for photo ops, subsequently used as political ads, "to embrace works of faith, acts of love and the promotion of justice, equality and the advancement of human rights and dignity for all" (I am choosing not to translate this woke language into English, as to not insult our readers)

This apparently is okay for the chancery, and Tony Diaz who appears to opine this was part of the neutrality necessary not to loose the Archdiocese tax exempt status.

The dystopian world that surrounds us, has seeped within the ranks of the Church of Nice, thinking it is okay to endorse advocates of child murder, just as they kept silent for years when some of the same monsters were abusing sexually our own children

As Jesus reminded us last Sunday: "whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted"

Do not remain silent this upcoming election. Do not allow evil to move forward because you did nothing to stop it. Our Archdiocese is painfully attempting to close the chapter of sexual abuse in our ranks. This was only possible thanks to the silence of people in the know. Lets not allow Lou Leon Guerrero-Cook to continue to advocate for the holocaust of the innocent children of our island.

Shame to the Catholics in Name Only who are considering doing so. 

KLITZKIE: IT'S WHAT ATTY. GENERAL LEEVIN CAMACHO DIDN'T DO

This letter was published in the Pacific Island Times on August 8, 2022.

*****

Attorney General Leevin Camacho marshaled enough judicial authority to employ the magic words, “void ab initio,” to deep-six PL 20-134, former Sen. Belle Arriola’s anti-abortion law. 

“Void ab initio” means having no legal effect from inception. A law, agreement, sale, or other action that is void has no legal effect. A void action cannot be ratified or validated. End of story, right?

Maybe not. The answer one gets depends on the question he asks. Here’s what Leevin said, “We limit our opinion in this case to instances where laws are passed in clear violation of established constitutional rights.” So Leevin limited the question he asked. 

But try this: type in “effect of an unconstitutional statute” on Google search. The first hit you’ll get is an ancient Indiana U. law review. 

Thumb through the pages and you’ll find this entry: “…the theory that the statute is void ab initio should be tested. Suppose a case where the court declares a statute unconstitu­tional today, and then six months hence reverses this decision and decides that the statute is constitutional. If the void ab initio doctrine be applied, the first decision would leave a situation similar to that described by the Indiana court, as if no statute had been passed.

“[But] All courts seem to agree that the void statute (if such a contradiction be permitted) is resurrected and is effective as from the date of its enactment. The purported enactment which was said to have been fatally smitten at its birth by the constitution has by some legal hocus pocus been cured of its congenital disease. This is also the Indiana rule.” 

So, the “Indiana rule”— take note, all courts!— mandates the resurrection of a void ab initio (dead) statute. What Leevin didn’t do is ask this question: “Is an unconstitutionally void ab initio (dead) statute resurrected when a court overrules the constitutional infirmity?” 

Sure, we’re closer to Indonesia than Indiana but Leevin might have reached a different result had he plumbed the depth and tested the breadth of the Indiana rule in American jurisdictions.

Leevin told us: “We recognize that ‘[a]n analysis of the constitutionality (or organicity) of a local statute must begin with the general rule that legislative enactments are presumed to be constitutional.’” Along the same lines, attorneys general routinely defend the statutes in their respective jurisdiction if such can be accomplished absent the use of an antiemetic. 

If it can be argued that the Dobbs decision is the talisman that resurrects Belle Arriola’s law, then Leevin should move to dissolve the district court injunction that prevented the enforcement of that law. Otherwise, the answer to his truncated question is the death of Belle Arriola’s law. If he moves to dissolve the injunction, then we’ll have a judicial declaration of the viability of Belle’s law. (There’s no need to seek a hokey declaratory judgment as Leevin did in the quarantine hotel procurement matter.)

In the benediction of his opinion, Leevin tells us, “Moving forward, difficult moral and policy questions such as the decision of whether to allow or limit abortion must be decided by the Legislature, not the courts.” 

Our legislature has spoken unanimously on the moral and policy question. The reason that the voice of the people, i.e., the legislature, is muted and mooted is apparent. 

Because the 20th Guam Legislature did not have the power to pass P.L. 20-134 in the first place, it is void ab initio and has had no legal effect on Guam since its passage.

It’s not what Leevin did; it’s what Leevin didn’t do.

LETTER: ACLU ANSWER IS ABSURD

Letter to the editor

Looking at data, abortion doctors have nothing to fear on Guam

Tim Rohr

Per an Oct. 21 news story in this publication, “lawyers for two Hawaii-based doctors have filed their answer to the brief submitted by the Office of the Attorney General in the ongoing appeal of an injunction placed on Guam's in-person consultation mandate for abortions.”

From the story it appears that the Hawaii-based doctors have nothing to support their “answer” other than Guam is a scary place:

I'M BACK

It's been a rough road these last five years and I've had important personal matters to address. They have been addressed. I want to thank Frenchie for keeping the blog going during my hiatus. Frenchie will continue to contribute and administrate the blog along with myself. See you soon. 

WHEN A SELF PROFESSED CATHOLIC PRESIDENT'S JUSTICE DEPARTMENT PERSECUTE REAL CATHOLICS

 

Joe Biden is a self proclaimed Catholic who advocates for the murder of unborn children. He has a propensity to lecture the country on a whole range of what he believes are moral markers, which he has a tendency not to abide to.

One of a growing and disturbing trend of the Biden administration, under the direction of a former nominee for the Supreme Court, who is now the Attorney General of the United States has been the weaponization of the Justice Department and of the FBI against perceived opponents of the President and his Party.

The latest victim of this dangerous trend is a Catholic Father of 7 children, who is anti-abortion.

Just a few days back, this peaceful and principled man, was awaken at his house in the early hours of the morning by a squad of jack boot, heavily armed SWAT team of the FBI, who was serving a warrant for his arrest, regarding a misdemeanor incident that took place months ago in the Philadelphia area.

For detailed information please read these articles:

Here

And Here

If you thought that the persecution of Catholics for being witnesses of their faith only happened in third world countries, or in Muslim areas, and that the US Constitution was protecting your right to worship, and express yourself. This should be a rude awakening of what has happened to these freedoms over the last two years.

Most of us should have understood that the far leftist that took over the DNC have a deeply rooted hatred for Christians in general, and Catholics in particular, when they used the Covid pandemic to close places of worship, and forbade us to worship, which are  fundamental rights the government is not supposed to infringe upon.

Here on Guam, Governor Lou Leon Guerrero, abused her emergency powers to erect military checkpoints on major roadways, and weaponized the DPHSS to close churches.

The leaders of  the Catholic Church remained silent for way too long, until the pastor of Victory Chapel refused to follow the order, and when Fr Paul Gofigan in an homily (on a livestream that went viral, and taken by alternate medias like kandit news) ranted that if you could go to Kmart, the grocery stores and Home Depot because they were deemed essential businesses, churches were also essential for the well being of the faithful. Only then did Archbishop Byrnes intervened and the DPHSS negotiated a process to reopen the churches.

The damage was done none the less, and Lou Leon Guerrero and her anti christian acolytes in her administration had dealt a blow to Catholics and their families, all over Guam. The consequences on Children, families and our elders are still felt today.

Remember this when you go to vote for the next Governor of Guam, do not let people who like Joe Biden and Lou Leon Guerrero pretend to be Catholic, but actually oppose all what the Church stands for, abuse your goodwill. Remember that the most prominent advocate of infanticide on Guam is the current governor.  Come judgement day Our Father might ask you: "what have you done with your talent"?
