Despite the Prayer for Unity Service on Saturday evening, the next morning protestors were back it again. Dozens of concerned Catholics continued what have now become weekly protests in front of the Hagatna Cathedral, wanting Archbishop Anthony Apuron removed and defrocked.

Apuron is accused of sexual molestation. Last week four of his accusers filed a libel and slander lawsuit in the Superior Court of Guam against the archbishop and the Archdiocese of Agana. They not only want the archbishop to tell the truth, but also are seeking damages of $2 million – $500,000 for each of the victims.
