Members of the Concerned Catholics of Guam said they will continue protesting until the Archdiocese of Agana has formally addressed the issues which, they say, have divided the church on Guam.
Nearly a month has passed since the arrival of Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai as apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese of Agana, but protests by members of the groups Concerned Catholics of Guam (CCOG), Laity Forward Movement (LFM) and Silent No More have continued in front of the Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral Basilica in Hagåtña on Sunday mornings.
“Hon is calling for unity in the church but how can we have unity when we all have this dissension in the church. We are separated. There is a division. We have to address the issues first before we’ll have unity,” said Lou Klitzkie, a member of Laity Forward.
Klitzkie referred to the decisions made by Apuron in the past, which the group, together with Concerned Catholics, had publicly opposed such as the removal of Rev. Paul Gofigan and Monsignor James Benavente from their positions as pastor of Santa Barbara and as rector of the cathedral, respectively.
