Just saw Tim Rohr praising Archbishop. Very stimulating. As long as Archbishop marches to the same tune as Tim Rohr, then Archbishop is wonderful. But when he marches to different tune, then he is to be kicked out. “I hate those who are double-minded, But I love Your law”, says Psalms 119.
The Church remained the same. It was Tim Rohr who changed. In the video, Tim Rohr praised the Archbishop's lead in the fight against abortion. Today, this is what Tim Rohr says:
TimSeptember 18, 2014 at 3:44 AM The number of "reported" abortions has actually fallen a bit since the Esperansa Project began its campaign in 2008. For exact numbers visit www.esperansa.org. However, you are right, there is no energy from the top directed towards limiting abortions, not when you compare it to the type of energy whenever the word "gambling" comes up.
Diana -- It's interesting that you would post this video now. I suppose you want to show how the Catholic Church on Guam has NOT been the same since. Archbishop Apuron spoke about putting himself at the feet of the church, doing whatever the Church wanted him to do. "Servus Tuus, Your Servant." This is not the Archbishop we know. He should change his motto to Servus Neo.
He is still the same Archbishop, but there are some things that need to change. In the past, the number of Catholics on Guam were dwindling. Some of them have gone to Protestant churches. Many do not follow the Church teaching on abortion and marriage. Many couples on island prefer to cohabitate rather than enter into the sacrament of marriage. Divorce on Guam is very high.
By allowing the NCW into Guam, the Archbishop is helping many sheep. Many marriages are being saved and many couples walking in the Way are being open to life. Many Catholics are returning to the Church. The youths are staying longer in the Mass.
One man (through Jesus Christ) was the one who founded the Way, and one man (through Jesus Christ) welcomed the Way into Guam. Plenty of people know Tim Rohr because he put himself in the public's eye. Anyone who watches TV can recognize Tim Rohr on the street.
Diana it plainly Anon 10:35 AM was hurt and frustrated because things didn't go his way and not discovering the mud on his eyes that he need to wash up his mud in the well of seloam.
This is a great video! Very emotional especially about his mother - his earthy and spiritual mother, i mean. Also good to hear the comments of Tim Rohr! I thought I will never have said that. We have a holy archbishop. Pope Francis should make him a cardinal! He is a true defender of the faith here in the Pacific.

DeleteThe priests and bishops are called to serve God. God always comes first before their brothers and sisters.

Diana , you cannot dump the whole responsibility on Tim Rohr....that is not the whole story at all. Plenty of people don't have a clue who he is.

ReplyDeleteEl Camino - and I suppose one only needs to join the NCW in order to wash up his mud in the well of seloam.
