MORE EVIDENCE

Thank you to Jose Martinez for capturing these Diana screen shots and posting them on his FB Timeline. They are more evidence of what we already know, but apparently Rome STILL needs to know.

PDN: APURON NEPHEW SAYS HE WAS RAPED

Apuron's nephew says he was raped by the archbishop as a teen

Archbishop Anthony Apuron's nephew, Mark M. Apuron, Wednesday filed a lawsuit in federal court, accusing the archbishop of raping him when he was a teen, in 1989 or 1990. CONTINUED

ARCHBISHOP BYRNES ALERTS VATICAN


The Vatican has been alerted about the newest allegation of abuse against suspended Archbishop Anthony Apuron, according to the Archdiocese of Agana.

Apuron’s nephew, Mark Mafnas Apuron, in an exclusive interview with The Guam Daily Post, accused his uncle of sexually abusing him in 1990 while at an event at the Archdiocese of Agana Chancery Office. CONTINUED

APURON ACCUSED BY HIS NEPHEW

Nephew accuses archbishop


"He asked, 'What are you doing?'" Mark Apuron said. He said he froze, afraid of what trouble he was in, when his uncle allegedly pulled down his pants and pushed him onto the vanity. The teen thought he was going to get a whipping for smoking and drinking but instead, he said, his uncle raped him.

For the last 27 years, Mark Mafnas Apuron has held onto a secret, one that resulted in him being estranged from his immediate family members and left him ashamed and petrified.

"When my experience happened, I thought I was the only one," Apuron said, as he sat in an office in Hagåtña yesterday, speaking with The Guam Daily Post.

But Apuron resolved to make this year different by coming forward and speaking of the past. CONTINUED

PDN: Archbishop Byrnes names 8 to tribunal, reassigns 3 priests

"Byrnes said Quitugua's past assignment, as associate judge on the metropolitan tribunal, is no longer in effect."


Archbishop Michael Jude Byrnes appointed eight priests, five of them canon lawyers, to serve on the Archdiocese of Agana's metropolitan tribunal, or the judicial office that examines whether a marriage is valid or not. CONTINUED

NO, DIANA. A PARISH IS NOT A DIOCESE!




  1. Dear Anonymous at 11:32 pm, 

    Could you create a username for yourself? Alexander Chen listed 4 things in his comment, but Tim Rohr only chose to address the first two. The evidence he used to support his claim was the March 7, 2012 Apostolic Delegate letter to Archbishop Apuron. The letter listed Canon Law 537. Unfortunately for the Apostolic Delegate, his advice to Archbishop Apuron went against the Canon Law he cited. 

    According to Canon Law Made Easy: 

    "The Code of Canon Law (537) mandates Parish Finance Councils in each parish. The role of the Parish Finance Council is to assist and advise the Pastor in overseeing and controlling the financial affairs of the parish, including any schools. The Parish Finance Council is accountable to the pastor who has the responsibility for final decisions. If the advice of the Parish Finance Council is unanimous on a given matter, the pastor will give serious consideration to the recommendation."


    The Archbishop does indeed have the final decision on the Parish Finance Council. And if there is a unanimous vote in the Parish Finance Council, the Archbishop will give it serious consideration to their recommendation. And that is all their unanimous vote means......a recommendation. The Archbishop makes the final decision. He can choose not to follow the Parish Finance Council. 

    Furthermore, the Canon Law is much higher than the letter of the Apostolic Delegate cited by Tim Rohr.


Sigh.

Poor Diana does not even know the difference between a parish and a diocese:
DIANA: "The Archbishop does indeed have the final decision on the Parish Finance Council."

Ummm, no. The Archbishop does NOT even preside over the Parish Finance Council. The PASTOR does! That's why it's called a PARISH finance council and NOT a DIOCESAN finance council! SMH. 

Per Can. 537, the only involvement of the diocesan bishop in the operation of the parish finance council is to issue "norms" and is only to "assist the pastor in the administration of the goods of the parish:"

"In each parish there is to be a finance council which is governed, in addition to universal law, by norms issued by the diocesan bishop and in which the Christian faithful, selected according to these same norms, are to assist the pastor in the administration of the goods of the parish..."

By contrast the DIOCESAN finance council is very different in that the bishop needs the consent of the finance council to "alienate the good of the diocese:"

Can. 1292 §1. ...when the value of the goods whose alienation is proposed falls within the minimum and maximum amounts to be defined by the conference of bishops for its own region, the competent authority is determined by the statutes of juridic persons if they are not subject to the diocesan bishop; otherwise, the competent authority is the diocesan bishop with the consent of the finance council, the college of consultors, and those concerned. The diocesan bishop himself also needs their consent to alienate the goods of the diocese.


Art. 5. § 2. Diocesan and parochial Pastoral Councils and Parochial Finance Councils, of which non-ordained faithful are members, enjoy a consultative vote only and cannot in any way become deliberative structures. Only those faithful who possess the qualities prescribed by the canonical norms may be elected to such responsibilities.

Notice the particular council this section leaves out. 

It states that Diocesan and parochial Pastoral Councils and Parochial Finance Councils enjoy a consultative voye and cannot in any way become deliberative structures. Notice that DIOCESAN FINANCE COUNCILS  are not mentioned because in fact DIOCESAN finance councils DO in fact enjoy a deliberative vote in certain cases such as that which is denoted in Can. 1292. 

Dear Diana. You are right to keep your pseudonym. I'd do the same if I was that ignorant.  

ZOLTAN: A WORTHY WARRIOR


I will say this for Zoltan. He was NEVER afraid. He NEVER hid. And he is right to call out the cowards who hide behind their rocks but have no problem throwing stones at those of us who put our names and faces to our beliefs. Good on you, Zoltan. You are worthy warrior. 


  • Dear Anonymous at 2:09 am, 

    Rohr's purpose of digging up any information on Zoltan was to get him in trouble with his job. He managed to dig up information that Zoltan wrote about 11 years ago. Notice Rohr's last statement? It was addressed to Dr. Underwood. While it is true that Zoltan made some negative remarks about people with Aspergers Syndrome, Rohr was only telling half the truth. The next day, this is what Zoltan stated:

    testing_the_truth October 17, 2006
    Oops, I made some exaggarated statements here about people suffering from Asperger syndrome. I apologize! I apparently misunderstood some aspects of this contition. I found some information handily available on the Internet to better understand Asperger syndrome, that helped me a lot. http://www.udel.edu/bkirby/asperger/aswhatisit.html

    Zoltan


    That was what Zoltan wrote the next day after he made those negative remarks. He apologized and retracted his previous statement. This was what Rohr omitted from his blog. Telling half-truths while omitting pertinant information and then addressing Zoltan's boss with the intention of getting him in trouble at work is not freedom of speech. It is a tactic of manipulation. 

  • Diana, I cannot endorse what you say. I am sorry. It was my conflict with Rohr and we have already moved on. It is you who is digging up things.

    EVEN THOUGH...

    Even though we've only made (until today) one new post in the last two weeks, with very little activity over the last couple months, the world is still checking in:

    Wonder why? (smile)

    ALEX CHEN: "PROSTITUTED TO PROTECT"


    Alexander Chen ·

    FakeNews...
    "Apuron secretly deeded the Yona seminary property to the Neocatechumenal Way against the advice of his own advisory council, which he later fired."

    1. Apuron was the Archbishop with absolute canonical power over his diocese.
    2. The advisory council's job is to offer advice, NOT to mandate or lead the diocese... that is the Archbishop's canonical job.
    3. Apuron drafted the deed the JUST/CORRECT way, foreseeing any possible archdiocese bankruptcy situation, he drafted the deed so that the diocese maintained ownership while shielding the property from being sold as part of any settlement the diocese may incurr. Apuron was way too smart for his (could it be greed? Tim Rohr is a real estate agent? Council was accused of mismanaging cemetery property? hmmmmm) council.
    4. The fact that the keys of the seminary and the possibility to sell it is in the hands of the Ordinary Archbishop contradicts any and all statements that hint that Apuron had a malicious-will in deeding the Yona seminary to the NCW, who never had total control of anything at any time, as drafted by Apuron.

    This is just another example of why PDN, Tim Rohr and CCoG are still deliberately disseminating negative propaganda on Apuron without due process, without a balanced opinion of the true events... which proves ill will on their part.

    Shame on Guam for believing FakeNews and the Archdiocese for its sin of omission, for not issuing a statement distancing themselves from all these allegations until the Vatican has issued a verdict.

    We can honestly say that Guam is an archdiocese that is truly bankrupt, not economically, but morally.

    *****

    Dear Alex. 

    Thank you. I was getting bored of not having anything to write about - like the old days. There really is nothing new. In fact, there was really nothing at all - until Kikos like you began kicking up opportunities for us to examine facts...like you, once again, do here. 

    And just in time too. 

    Rumor is that Filoni-Baloney's strategy is to delay, delay, delay. Just let things go quiet. It's too late to save the neocats on Guam, but Filoni isn't concerned about saving the neocats on Guam. He is only concerned with saving neocat power in Rome (so he can be the next pope). And the Apuron thing was a cancerous hole in what had been heretofore a fairly impregnable neocat power presence in the Vatican. 

    So, the big question for Filoni and his Kiko-handlers was what to do with Apuron!

    Now, if the verdict (already decided in early August) had been innocent, you can bet that your Kiko's would have rushed to the microphones and the kiko-media lap dancers like Zenit and La Stampa. But they didn't. So he isn't. Get it?

    So another strategy was needed: Go silent.  And keep Pope Francis busy with other stuff. 

    It has proved to be a good strategy thus far. The protesters have put down their signs. Archbishop Byrnes is quietly taking care of things. And there has been little for JungleWatch to post about. 

    But thanks to you, especially since your comment appears online and is universally available, we now have the opportunity to again tell the world why Apuron must not only NEVER be returned to the position of Archbishop of Agana. And! Should be sent to Kiko's palace in Galilee for the rest of his days where he can dance about the altar after every heretical liturgy and enjoy his last days with Louie :)

    So now to the task at hand. 

    I don't have time to do them all in one post, so we'll take them one issue at a time. Thanks again, Alex. I was worried that my blog was dying for lack of new stuff. Once again: Saved by you Kikos. 



    ALEX: 
    1. Apuron was the Archbishop with absolute canonical power over his diocese.
    2. The advisory council's job is to offer advice, NOT to mandate or lead the diocese... that is the Archbishop's canonical job.

    ME:
    From a letter from the Apostolic Delegate to Archbishop Apuron dated March 7, 2012:

    Full letter here

    Now, let's look again at what you stated, Alex:

    1. Apuron was the Archbishop with absolute canonical power over his diocese. 2. The advisory council's job is to offer advice, NOT to mandate or lead the diocese... that is the Archbishop's canonical job.

    Per the laws of the One Holy Catholic Church, the bishop "is not free to do as he pleases," and when the finance council is asked to give its consent, it's vote is "a deliberative vote," NOT just advice!

    Now, as regards whether or not the finance council was "asked" to give its consent, this is exactly why the Delegate is writing to Apuron. 

    The matter in question - the alienation of an asset valued at a particular amount - REQUIRED the consent of the finance council, and the bishop (Apuron) was "to receive the consent of the absolute majority" or he "acts invalidly," which is exactly what Apuron did. 

    The determination that the property would be alienated by what Apuron wanted to do (and did) is NOT something the Finance Council determined, it was the determination of Apuron's long time personal friend and legal counsel, Attorney Edward Terlaje:



    Attorney Terlaje's opinion of Nov 27, 2011, was prompted by an action put before the Finance Council on September 7, 2011. 


    Full document here

    The concern, per Apuron's own Legal Counsel, was that Apuron would LOSE "ultimate control of RMS and its assets," if the RMS Articles and By-laws were NOT amended. It is clear that the RMS Incorporators (Apuron and the Gennarini's), had demanded that the assets "be deeded to RMS without modification" of the Articles and By-Laws.

    Apuron acted AGAINST the very clear legal advice of his own Legal Counsel. It was the Finance Council which acted (in its canonically prescribed capacity as a "deliberative" body) on the clear legal advice of Apuron's Legal Counsel whose professional responsibility was to protect the Archdiocese of Agana and its Faithful from the marauders that Mr. Alex Chen has been obviously prostituted to protect. 

    Thanks, Alex. I'll be back. Happy New Year.

    MANY THANKS TO DIANA!




  • Tell me just one name who was "persecuted" by these guys. You cannot! Why? Because there is none! You are only making up threat, so that you can cowardly hide in darkness and spit out your "alternative" truth. 
  • Dear Joanne, 

    Zoltan was threatened with his job and intimidated when speaking during the public hearings at the Guam Legislature. An ethics complaint was launched against Jackie Terlaje. Deacon Tenorio is being accused of using donations for his personal use without any substantial evidence. Monsignor David was called to step down from his position only because he walks in the Way. Some parishioners in Yona signed a petition to keep the NCW away from their parish because they believed we are not Catholics. Some of the NCW kids are being bullied in school. A brother in a community related to me that his son who goes to a Catholic School was being bullied by fellow classmates when they learned that his son was walking in the Way. He instructed his son to turn the other cheek and to pray for his bullies. Personally, I would bring the matter up to the teacher and principal. This is only a sample. There is much more.

  • Yes, Diana continues to hide in the darkness. But that's okay. Without Diana's "darkness" the effort to oust the Kiko's never would have gone this far. Quite on her own, she kept the struggle alive with her "alternative truth."

    Truly, there really was nothing for us to engage for quite a long time except for The Diana. She kept spouting things that eventually spurred the action that eventually took out Apuron and has now taken out the Kikos.

    Here's a picture taken two days ago of the "sign," that once said

    Redemptoris Mater Seminary.



    Truly, we have much to thank The Diana for. In fact, as you know, lately we haven't had much to post about here at JungleWatch. So, many thanks to Diana. Truly :)

    In fact, Diana's above litany of "persecutions" not only reminds us that the Kiko's aren't real Christians, since real Christians give thanks for persecutions, not COMPLAIN about them! But the little litany also gives us a chance to again trot out David's bastardization of a privileged office.

    Out of the goodness of his heart, Archbishop Byrnes, personally appointed by Pope Francis to lead our diocese in the sordid absence of that Apuron guy, not only permitted David to be appointed to the Presbyteral Council, but went so far as to demonstrate good will and conciliation when he personally appointed David the "Vulnus" to the College of Consultors.

    And what did David the Vulnus do? Almost immediately, he and three other warped Kiko-priests stabbed Byrnes in the back. First, let's reread what Byrnes said about it:


    Full letter here. And here is the same termination letter to the other traitors: Rudy, Alberto, and Julio. All four of these traitors USED their positions as members of the Presbyteral Council to stab Archbishop Byrnes in the back:




    And here is the letter the FOUR TRAITORS sent to the ArchKikoServant Filoni-Baloney:


    PDF copy here.

    Thank you, Diana. Truly. We could not have done this without you. :)

    KAMALEN KARIDAT - THE MESS: PART 3

    Merry Christmas.



    Some notes. 

    I have yet to receive a comment with anyone's name and contact information on it. So I guess no one has the guts to confront me in person and in public. That says a lot...and proves that I was right all along...which will certainly be shown in the end.

    Kamalen Karidat will prove to be Apuron's real Gotterdammerung. And it may also prove the Gotterdammerung of certain government officials who have assiduously protected Apuron....

    They MUST ask themselves if Apuron is worth it. 

    The investigation into Kamalen Karidat probably would not be necessary had the Vatican did its job. But instead, Filoni did the job for them. And the announcement of the Apuron verdict has been indefinitely delayed. 

    Why is this? 

    We know that the verdict, which has already been determined per the announcement of Archbishop Byrnes - if it was "innocent of all charges"...there would have been a rush to the microphones and to the kiko-sychopants Zenit and La Stampa. 

    But there wasn't. There was only delay, delay, delay. And still delay. 

    So because the Vatican will NOT do its job. We'll do it for them. 

    Kamalen Karidat was a SHAM operation from the outset - set up to take care of Apuron personally. Why else would there be 200-300 THOUSAND DOLLARS in a local bank account that no one can touch...legally, except by authorization of the KK board...of which Apuron is still the chair? 

    A legal defense fund masquerading as helping the poor? Seriously? Why did KK need 2-3 HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS in an account that was off limits to anyone but Apuron and his KK buddies? 

    Why...even now...are Apuron's pals rushing to exonerate KK with Rev and Tax? Something you will soon see. Or is it the other way around. Is Rev and Tax now rushing to KK? (You'll soon see that as well.)

    On January 31, 2018, SDA will go to court  to contest a TWELVE MILLION DOLLAR tax suit filed by the Director of Rev and Tax, who sued SDA for non payment of taxes for running its clinic and health food store. SDA claims an exemption under "charitable" activities...the same as KK. 

    Did the Director of Rev and Tax write SDA a nice little letter as he did KK and say "no worries?" Nope. He sued SDA for 12 million for back taxes dated almost the exact amount of time KK had been operating. 

    If I was any one of the original incorporators of KK, I'd be pretty damn worried about exposure to personal liability. 



    And if I was Archbishop Byrnes, I'd have a call in to Filoni. This is going to get ugly. I promise.

    Merry Christmas. Merry, Merry Christmas.

    ARCHDIOCESE OF AGANA'S SEX ABUSE CRISIS 400 TIMES LARGER THAN BOSTON'S

    With the recent death of Cardinal Bernard Law, there has been a fresh attack on the seminal sex scandals that occurred in his former archdiocese of Boston. 


    But Boston's crisis is minuscule compared to Agana. 

    Boston has 1,949,219 Catholics and settled 552 cases. Agana has 132,494 Catholics and has 150 cases...so far. Per capita, that makes the Archdiocese of Agana's sex abuse crisis 400 times larger than Boston's.

    The Department of Revenue and Taxation director has declined to discuss the specifics of the letter he sent Tuesday to Rev. Mike Crisostomo, which concluded that KĂĄmalen KaridĂĄt is not required to file Form 990 returns because it is "an integrated auxiliary of a church." Form 990 is a tax form that nonprofits use to disclose funds received and spent.

    "I can't talk in regard to those things," said Rev and Tax Director John Camacho, who refused to confirm or deny anything he wrote in the letter. "If you got a copy of that, that's coming from the organization."

    Camacho's letter begins, "You requested clarification on the filing requirements ...," making it clear that he is responding to Crisostomo. CONTINUED
