Concerned Catholics of Guam Vice President Andrew Camacho urges religious followers not to sign a petition that's being distributed by the Archdiocese of Agana. The petition prompts Governor Eddie Calvo to veto Substitute Bill 326, which lifts the civil statute of limitations for child sexual abuse cases. 

According to a message from Apostolic Administrator Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai which is being read at masses this weekend, the bill exposes the church to unlimited financial liability and may result in bankruptcy. Camacho tells KUAM, "If you're against the bill, you are for Archbiship Apuron and the crimes that are being committed."
