Guam - Senator BJ Cruz says that the recent aggressive stance taken by the Archbishop against his domestic partnership bill sparked his revelation that he was allegedly abused by a priest when he was young. Read the Pastoral Letter

In a Pastoral Letter read at island churches last week, Archbishop Anthony Apuron said if the Legislature passes Cruz's domestic partnership bill "it will forfeit its moral authority to continue to govern the island." He urged parishoners to sign a petition opposing the bill.

On the K-57 Breakfast Show this morning Cruz called the Church's stance "hypocritical" and said the Archbishop's stance prompted him to reveal his own abuse at the hands of a priest when he was a child growing up in Los Angeles.
