Archbishop Michael Byrnes has been placed sanctions on Father Adrian Cristobal, who has been accused in three sexual abuse cases and has failed to return to Guam as ordered.
Because of the abuse allegations, Cristobal already has been restricted from celebrating Mass publicly or hearing confession while the case is being reviewed, according to a statement from the Archdiocese of Agana.
“The sanctions imposed on Father Adrian further restrict his abilities to act as a priest in public, which includes the wearing of clerical garb,” the statement said. “The sanctions will remain in place until such time that he obeys.”
