Members of the Concerned Catholics Of Guam marked their 30th week of protest in front of the Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral-Basilica in Hagåtña yesterday, a humid Sunday morning.

A younger voice at the protest, Father Duenas Memorial School student Jude Concepcion, 15, came out to support his grandfather who was picketing for the permanent removal of Archbishop Anthony Apuron.

“I don’t really know much about it,” Concepcion said, referring to the details over the controversy that has surrounded Apuron’s departure amid sex abuse allegations.

When asked if this issue comes up in school among his friends, he said, “People my age … not really, they don’t really think about it,” he said. “A lot of us know a lot about what happened, but we don’t really care to support it. We talk about it, but we don’t really do anything about it.”
