A group that’s been calling for the resignation of Archbishop Anthony S. Apuron said four of the five members in the local Catholic church’s finance council should resign because of a clear or potential conflict of interest due to other posts they are holding.

David Sablan, president of the Concerned Catholics of Guam Inc., said the only member of the council with no clear or potential conflict of interest and with a solid financial management background is Sonny Ada of Ada’s Trust & Investment.

“Our goal is to clean up all the problems of the Apuron administration and install trust and confidence in the leadership of the church,” Sablan told Pacific Daily News. “If the council members have a conflict of interest and do not have the requisite background, even if they are appointed by the archbishop, they should resign or recuse themselves. Let us follow the canon law.”

Sablan said those with a clear conflict of interest are Archdiocesan Finance Council members Monsignor David C. Quitugua, Deacon Dominic Kim, and Danny Quichocho.
