NEW YEAR'S MESSAGE

Posted by Tim

2017 marks the beginning of JungleWatch's 4th year in this amazingly ugly and deceptive battle. This morning I began watching a documentary on the corruption in the Vatican that drove Pope Benedict XVI from office. I had watched it before and I turned it off at about the same place I turned it off last time. Unfortunately, I know most of that "Hideousness" first hand and I don't need to watch it to be reminded. 

The events of the Archdiocese of Agana over the last going-on four years defy description. The Evil is omnipresent. "They" never tire of lies and manipulation. Complicating the battle is the seduction of some on "our side" to "let Rome handle it," or, (as Bob called out) "give the benefit of the doubt." Complicating it even more is the incessant call for wanting "our church back," when it was what the church had already become (as evidenced by the now revealed decades of abuse) that paved the way for Kiko's Trojan Horse. 

Those who know me know that there is NOTHING in this for me. Despite all the accusations from the Kikos that this is "all about money," there is no money in this for me and even if there was there wouldn't be enough to buy back four years of my life. I don't have a motivation. My response to injustice is reflexive. That's why I never hid behind a pseudonym. 

The battle for truth will go on. Thank you to all who support this battle in one way or another. 

Sincerely,

Tim

NUMBER ONE STORY OF 2016

No. 1: Fall of Archbishop Anthony Apuron

Guam’s Catholic community was rocked by a series of sex abuse allegations, questions about control of the Yona seminary and public protests against church leadership during 2016. While discontent in the church had been brewing for several years, Archbishop Anthony Apuron remained in control of the archdiocese until former altar boys stepped forward and publicly accused him of sexual abuse.

JESUS OR KIKO ARGÜELLO?

Posted by LaPaz, Jungle Watch Correspondant from Spain.

When you love the Neocatechumenal Way more than Jesus, then you are able to disobey the Pope in turn.

Neocatechumenals, please, do not tell us fairy tales.
Do not show us more pictures of Kiko and Carmen with the Pope in turn.

It is only a matter of who do you obey. All of us know you are obliged to obey Kiko Argüello over the Pope in turn.

But Jesus is not represented by Kiko Argüello. Jesus is represented on Earth by the Pope.

If you love the Neocatechumenal Way over the Pope, say it openly once and for all.

Just ask yourselves and be honest. Once and for all. The Pope or Kiko Argüello?

Jesus or Kiko Argüello?

It is very simple!

Please, consider it.

Do not get entangled with if Fr. Pius told you what Kiko said what the Pope told him.

John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis I have told in public the NCW TO OBEY. All of them had given several instructions and recommendations, oraly and written.

If you do not obey, then ask yourselves who are you obeying at least?

Do not look at others, just look at you. Who do you obey? Who do you want to follow?

NICE START BYRNES

In the Archdiocese of Agana, one gets rewarded for disobedience. But Adrian was more that "disobedient." He committed crimes against the faithful. Time to pursue that law suit. Nice start Byrnes.

A NEW YEAR'S VISIT FROM POPE ST PIUS X

(Posted by Glaucon Jr)

Now that I’m back from my little retreat with the Greek Fathers, I thought I might bring along a warm, New Year’s greeting from Pope St Pius X (not a Greek father--duh) whose words are the bookends for my little adventure in Tradition. In his seminal encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis, the holy man of God warned about Catholic modernists and the resulting destruction of the Faith that we see bearing its most bitter fruit that is the Neocatechumenal Way. It's almost like he has spoken to us straight from Heaven with Kiko and Carmen in mind (bold and underline mine):

RMS AND HERESY

Randy Engel, one of the nation's top investigative reporters, writes:

"...why does it always seem that no action is taken by the hierarchy against known clerical heretics until the heretics are denounced by the long suffering Catholic laity and the matter becomes a public scandal?"

Randy (a woman) is writing in reference to an Australian priest who has revived the 5th Century Nestorian heresy which denies that Mary was the Mother of God, and in so doing, declares Jesus NOT to be God. 

This is very similar to what the Kikos covertly teach. In September of 2014, we uncovered a guest neocat priest at RMS, teaching that Jesus is a sinner:

"He experienced the forgiveness of the Father, because he was a sinner.  He became a sinner.  Willing, not because he was imposed, because he was a sinner, willingly, willing a sinner."

The priest's name was Fr. Angelo Veraldi. Apuron was confronted about this teaching at a parish visitation and he pretended that he didn't know who the priest was: "I’d like to know who that priest is and tell him that’s wrong theology." (LOL. Like it's only "theology.")

(Chuck White further wrote about it here.)

Upon the pastoral visit of Archbishop Hon, in January 2015, the CCOG submitted a detailed account of this heretical teaching in our diocese to Hon. Hon's general attitude at the time to the CCOG was that they had no business even using the word "heresy."

This brings us back to Engel's question:

"...why does it always seem that no action is taken by the hierarchy against known clerical heretics until the heretics are denounced by the long suffering Catholic laity and the matter becomes a public scandal?"

The lack of action by our hierarchy on anything (except for covering their butts) is so prevalent now that it is almost expected. Maybe Archbishop Byrnes will be different...maybe not. What is clear is that we, the laity, MUST take responsibility for our souls and the souls of our children. 

Here is Engel's column.

EDWARD ROBERTO CHAN VS ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP OF AGANA (&) RAYMOND CEPEDA

ANTONIO PALACIOS: "FR. ALBERTO SHOUD BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY"

Posted by Tim

As a parishioner of Agat, I remember the many months/years of planning and fundraisers that a small group did all on their own to rebuild the Santa Ana chapel. It is painful and sad to read Mr. Palacios' account of what Fr. Alberto has done with it. Another Neo finger to the face by a Neo-priest to the long-suffering faithful who built the churches of this island with blood, sweat, tears, work, sacrifice

and prayers.

TRAPPED!

Posted by Chuck White

Some seminarians and priests in the Neocatechumenal Way feel that they are indeed trapped, unable to leave their Redemptoris Mater Seminary and/or the Neocatechumenal Way. Here's a story of one such priest in a parish in the United States...read more.

THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT--NOPE!

Posted by Bob

Let's give 'em the benefit of the doubt. 

Nope, let's not!

Dictionary says: give someone the benefit of the doubt Meaning in the Cambridge ...

"-to decide that you will believe someone, even though you are not sure that what the person is saying is true..."

Over the years in dealing with our three archbishops, comments, e.g., "Let's give him the benefit of the doubt" have appeared frequently. I humbly submit that this is usually a mistake. Thirty years of giving apuron the benefit of the doubt only allowed that which should have never happened to become common place. Remember how willing we were to give AA Hon the benefit of the doubt until he showed us what a huge blunder that was? And Cardinal Filoni?

A VICTIMS SUPPORT GROUP?

Posted by Tim

In his press conference on November 30, Archbishop Byrnes mentioned a "victims support group" headed by Sister Angela Perez, RSM. 

My first thought was "where did that come from?" 

As expressed in other posts, the chancery has no business - at least for the next few years - doing anything in the way of "victims support." The only "support" it should be giving is support to a professional, independent, neutral, third party to which victims may be referred. 

The Archdiocese of Agana, no matter who is running things for now, is so damaged that it cannot offer anything but a waste of time and money when it comes to interfacing directly with its own victims. 

TODAY IS THE FEAST OF THOSE WHO FIRST DIED FOR CHRIST

Today is the Feast of the Holy Innocents, also called Childermas. 

(Matthew 2:16-18) When Herod realized that he had been deceived by the magi, he became furious. He ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had ascertained from the magi. Then was fulfilled what had been said through Jeremiah the prophet:

THE NCW: AN INSIDER'S VIEW (From Bosnia and Croatia)

The cheap cowards over at The Diana title their blog "An Insider's View." However, there is a lot that they don't want you to see. We receive quite a few accounts like the one you are about to read. Most of what we are sent, we are asked not to publish, even anonymously, for fear that the account will be recognized by the sender's former community. It's hard for us on the outside to imagine what they could be so afraid of, but, nevertheless, their fears are real and some have suffered severe personal tragedy from the psychological harm endured while in the NCW and the fears they take with them when the try to leave. The sender of the following account agreed to have his account published, albeit anonymously.

THE DIANA: "PRIESTS OF GUAM LACK OXYGEN TO THEIR BRAINS"

Posted by Tim

And what have the Kikos' to show us as an alternative to priests who "lack oxygen to their brains?" Tony the Penetrator? Adrian the Drain? David the Doorknob? Edi the Waldo? Louie the Licker? and Wadeson the Wanderer? LOL, Diana. Yes, go ahead and show us how your "way" breaths (sic) life into community. I guess that's what Lickin' Louie was caught doing.

A GREAT TEMPTATION

Posted by Chuck White

Steve Ray, a Catholic evangelist and convert to the Faith

There's a great temptation to think that the goal of any and all true renewal in the Church should be to return to the exact life and practice of the early Church. Even movements within the Catholic Church, like the Neocatechumenal Way, have fallen into this particular trap, which goes by the names of "Restorationism" and "Christian Primitivism."

I invite you to spend 2 minutes listening to Catholic evangelist Steve Ray share a startling insight he had about this as he began to look seriously at the Catholic Church while he was still a Baptist. This is an excerpt of a talk that Steve gave at the Agana Cathedral Basilica in Guam in 2006.  Read more.

A MISERABLE GOODBYE

Posted by LaPaz, Jungle Watch Correspondent from Spain.

One of the biggest mistakes made by many cardinals and bishops in valuing the NCW charism is to be dazzled by its special effects. in which Kiko Argüello and his black labeled catechists are truly masters.

As my dear Paul Lennon and other Legionaries of Christ have pointed out several times, although each Catholic person is precisely called by God to see further than just appearances, imitating Jesus, who never judged anybody by only the external, Marcial Maciel played with the human ease to conform to what we feel. 

Thus Maciel deceived even John Paul II, the saint. Rome was flashed by the high numbers and Maciel's premise: the most expensive, the better.  The so called "Millionaires of Christ" were like the hen of the golden eggs. Every compulsive liar knows the effect of the "noble lie", in religion translated to "pious fiction". Shaped by Plato, the noble lie still stays attached to human nature. 

FILONI WON'T PERMIT IT

Posted by Tim

The last couple of posts have produced a firestorm of inter-related comments. Here is my reply to most of the comments in summary:

For the first time ever, the Kiko's, all the way up to Kiko himself, are scared s____less that their scam may be up. 

While The Kikos' scam has been scrutinized elsewhere, and even labeled a heresy by at least one fearless bishop (those are rare), Apuron's role in the middle of this stench, and then the intrepid interpolation of Ballin of Doha, have rammed two bishops right into the crosshairs of that scrutiny, forcing Rome to rub its nose in Kiko's filthy mess.

This is why Filoni, while sidelined for a bit after David the RMS Doorknob unwittingly exposed him, has hurriedly regained control of Guam. 

Archbishop Byrnes may not even be aware of the depth of this evil scam. In fact, I am quite sure of it. At his first press conference Byrnes was asked a question about Filoni and he quite innocently referred to him as "who I report to." 

APURON SIGHTING?

It's odd that all the logins from Mountain View arrive at an unknown page. Could mean that the person is using something that masks his activity.

"PROMOVEATUR UT AMOVEATUR"

Posted by LaPaz, Jungle Watch Correspondant from Spain.

Today we had for breakfast the selection by Bishop Byrnes of Mr. Adrian Cristobal to study Canon Law far away from Guam.

Our friend Frenchie wrotte: "Instead of being disciplined, he is rewarded", and Frenchie is right. Frenchie uses a rational criterion, he is guided by the premise that if someone acts in a wrong way, do not reward him. 

But Rome, it is Vatican, is not used to rational criterion to take decisions. Rome uses other criteria. One of them is "promoveatur ut amoveatur", as our italian friend, neocatechumenal former member, Sandavi, pointed in his commentary of Frenchie's post:

GUAM DAILY POST: CHURCH COUNCIL READIES FOR LITIGATION

Church council readies for litigation

With 14 suits now targeting the Archdiocese of Agana and even more assuredly on the way, the financial arm of the church has been hard at working preparing for what could amount to millions of dollars in settlements to survivors of child sexual abuse. CONTINUED

A VERY ODD AND UNTIMELY GIFT FROM ARCHBISHOP BYRNES

Posted by Frenchie

WHEN ARCHBISHOP BYRNES ARRIVED LAST MONTH,THE CATHOLIC FAITHFUL
ON GUAM WERE FILLED WITH HOPE AND WITH A NEED TO BELIEVE IN CHANGE.

Unfortunately, on  the Eve of the celebration of the Birth of our Savior, our new leader is giving us a very disturbing gift, which we are likely not to forget soon.

Many had waited since his arrival to find out how our newly arrived Archbishop would handle several cases involving some of the most egregious actors of the previous administration.

One of these cases of course is the one of the Evil Cristobal.
