Dozens of the island's women religious groups had their chance to speak with apostolic administrator Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai in an open dialogue following Friday morning mass. Father Jeffrey San Nicolas is the new delegate of the administrator, and says the women represented the Sisters of Mercy, the Notre Dame Sisters, the Dominican Sisters, and the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration.

"I think they're very open and honest," said Fr. Jeff. "They asked some serious questions about the issues, but those issues are not secret to anyone here on the island. The questions that were asked were not a shock to the archbishop, and he responded as much as he could in terms of the progress that's being made."

Archbishop Hon was appointed by the Vatican in the midst of allegations of molestation made against Guam's archbishop, Anthony Apuron. Earlier this month, Apuron's accusers filed a libel and slander lawsuit against him and the Archdiocese of Agana. According to the Judiciary of Guam, however, there is no confirmation that the archdiocese or Apuron have been served the legal documents.

The court could only confirm the case has been assigned to Judge Michael Bordallo.
