Aside from the contentious issues over ownership of the Redemportis Mater Seminary and new allegations of child sex abuse by a priest, Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai sat in the hot seat today on KUAM Radio with Isla63-AM host Jess Lujan. A part of the discussion focused on the status of Monsignor James Benavente and Father Paul Gofigan and whether in fact they were restored to their original positions.

As you may remember, the two were removed from their posts years ago by Archbishop Anthony Apuron; Father Gofigan for allegedly being disobedient and Monsignor Benavente for alleged financial mismanagement.

Archbishop Hon clarified they weren't restored but rather there was no evidence that Father Gofigan was disobedient and Monsignor Benavente was not given an opportunity to explain or defend himself.
