Archbishop Martin Krebs, the pope’s New Zealand-based delegate to Guam and other parts of the Pacific, has responded to letters sent by some of Guam’s Catholics who are calling for the Vatican to intervene in the local church community’s leadership turmoil.
Krebs responded to a letter that church choir member Franklin “Frankie” Gutierrez Jr. wrote. Other parishioners have also received responses from Krebs.
The Aug. 1 letter from Krebs states:
“Dear Franklin,
I have received your important message and have taken due note of it.
I have also noted the copy of your message sent to the Secretariat of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples.”
Guam parishioners last week began a letter-writing campaign and sent their letters to Krebs and to the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples, an office in the Vatican.
The letter-writing campaign was launched at a rally attended by hundreds of Catholics at the steps of the Cathedral-Basilica on Tuesday last week.
