The Concerned Catholics of Guam say they want to give Archbishop Anthony Apuron an opportunity to “set things right” first before taking him to court.
Guam – The Concerned Catholics of Guam is preparing to take legal action against Archbishop Anthony Apuron if he maintains status quo on the controversial deeding of the Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Yona. Before taking him to court, however, CCOG says they want to give the Archbishop a chance to”set things right.”
The controversy surrounding the Redemptoris Mater Seminary has been brewing for several years with little to no response from the Archdiocese of Agana and as a result, the Concerned Catholics of Guam is now planning to take legal action against Archbishop Anthony Apuron for allegedly deeding over a multimillion dollar property to a third party illegally. Tim Rohr, a Catholic insider, spoke on behalf of the group today.
“They have two courses of action, one would be civil court, and the other would be through a church court,” says Rohr.
Taking legal action, either in canonical or civil court, is more of a last resort for the CCOG, but it may be necessary in order to get back the RMS that they believe was given away to a third party that is in no way a part of the Archdiocese of Agana. The group says they first want to give Archbishop Apuron an opportunity to set things right.
