Twenty-one people affiliated with the Catholic Church, including two archbishops, one bishop, priests and others, have been accused in the nearly 200 child sex abuse lawsuits filed since 2016 in local and federal courts on Guam.
The local church, however, has not yet released its list of clergy members with “credible allegations” of child sex abuse.
Archbishop Michael Jude Byrnes in late 2017 said the archdiocese would work on such a list as an important part of the Archdioces of Agana’s policy of protecting children, but no timeline was given.
Concerned Catholics of Guam President David Sablan said releasing that list would help rebuild trust in the church.
