GUAM

The sad saga of Guam’s disgraced Archbishop Anthony Apuron may offer some resolution soon, although it’s not going to be a complete closure.
The Vatican process to determine the guilt or innocence of Apuron will – in the next few weeks – move to the phase in which a panel of judges will begin deliberating on the accusations that when Apuron was a Guam priest, he molested young boys, including altar servers.
Archbishop Michael Byrnes said in a press conference yesterday the Vatican tribunal has informed him the discovery period of the trial has ended.
And the next phase, which Byrnes said will happen sometime in the next several weeks, will be the convening of three Vatican judges to deliberate.
After the Vatican judges deliberate, Byrnes said, they will publish the decision.
