Two weeks before an unprecedented mediation of nearly 200 Guam clergy sex abuse claims, Archbishop Michael Jude Byrnes said the community needs meaningful action to bring justice for victims.
“We cannot fully repay what was taken from these brothers and sisters; we can only offer a token of justice through financial remuneration,” Byrnes said in a Sept. 3 open letter to the faithful.
Mediation is being pursued to try to settle the sex abuse cases out of court. If mediation fails, the cases could go to trial.
