Interesting News

An anonymous commenter copied and pasted a comment from the jungle, which was very interesting.  According to the commenter:  
Sorry that this is off-topic, but this just came from the jungle. I thought it was important to bring it here.

Joseph A. SantosJuly 15, 2016 at 8:10 PM
The last comment from our "pastoral visit" last night in Mongmong was that AB Hon has not reinstated Pale Paul & Mons. James because there may be some validity to their removal. So Hon is moving "cautiously and with prudence". Anyone care to come to their defense?
Based on this comment which Joseph Santos heard from Archbishop Hon, it appears that our Apostolic Administrator has been looking into the case of Father Paul and Monsignor James.  He has not reinstated them because there may be some validity to their removal.  The reason Archbishop Apuron removed Father Paul was due to disobedience, and the reason for Monsignor James' removal was due to financial mismanagement.  Yet for three years, the jungle has been blaming the NCW for their removal.

  1. Hallelujah! Good news!

    30 I will praise the name of God with a song;
    I will magnify him with thanksgiving.
    31 This will please the Lord more than an ox
    or a bull with horns and hoofs.
    32 Let the oppressed see it and be glad;
    you who seek God, let your hearts revive.
    33 For the Lord hears the needy,
    and does not despise his own that are in bonds.

    34 Let heaven and earth praise him,
    the seas and everything that moves in them.
    35 For God will save Zion
    and rebuild the cities of Judah;
    and his servants shall live there and possess it;
    36 the children of his servants shall inherit it,
    and those who love his name shall live in it.

    (Ps 69)

    3. Chuck White and Frenchie (alias Glaucon) took over the jungle. Lol! They are of second rank, second quality service men behind Rohr who abandoned ship. Chuck has this compulsion to collect fake theology about the NCW from around the world and publish it at his blog. He does not even pay credit to the obviously anti-NCW sources that he is stealing from. Well, probably he does not have to because those Internet sites are all dormant and became dead frozen about a decade ago, anyway!

      Frenchie is just a highbrow intellectual with a fake intellect. He has no concept of strategy or planning, he is just having a good time by giving himself and expounding on his manias. You would think he is just a jovial old gentleman. But he is not. It is too bad he tries to blackmail the Pope by alarming his liberal media contacts, thus giving himself away as a no good liberal jackal from the Rohr cadre. He says:

      "When word of this got out, the world press would see to that the Holy Father’s credibility would be annihilated in a way that airplane interviews could never repair; no apologizing to gays or victims or for global warming will undo that damage."

      http://www.junglewatch.info/2016/07/for-your-eyes-archbishop-hon-my-notice.html

      Frenchie's latest silliness is this "Jungle Nation" stuff. He came up with the idea that his manamko army of the elderly, who go out for fun and entertainment for their old days when they picket around town, is actually a whole nation, a separate and distinguished group of people of common heritage. Lol! Yeah, they are a nation of fake super egos... Well, it is not only childish, it is also ridiculous. Let's remind Frenchie of the word of our God:

      Psalm 96

      4 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
      he is to be feared above all gods.
      5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
      but the Lord made the heavens.

Apparently, there's been some misunderstanding between Fr. Gofigan and Tim, which caused Tim to walk away from JW. Listen to it here:

    1. Rohr is a mindless radical. He did not really care about Fr. Paul at all, he only exploited Fr. Paul's situation for his own personal gain. No wonder, Fr. Paul had enough of that! Rohr is very proud, we all know that he cannot swallow criticism, now we see, not even from his own camp.

      This captain was the first to run from his sinking ship to save his skin. Shame and contempt is his share even from his fellow conspirators. This is a typical fate of self inflated pricks who think they can rule over others.

  7. Diana, you say "Based on this comment which Joseph Santos heard from Archbishop Hon" Are you sure Joseph Santos HEARD from Archbishop Hon? I'm not so sure.
    Joseph A Santos wrote "The last comment from our "pastoral visit" last night in Mongmong was that AB Hon has not reinstated Pale Paul & Mons. James"
    Joseph A Santos mentioned a "pastoral visit."
    Maybe he was talking about the "pastoral visit" by Fr Dan Bien and not a "pastoral visit" by Archbishop Hon?
    Wasn't Fr Dan Bien the priest assigned by Archbishop Hon to look over the finances of Mongmong and meet with parishioners?
    Maybe Fr Dan Bien said something that he heard Archbishop Hon say and that's what Joseph A Santos is writing about?
    Maybe you can check with Joseph A Santos if he really heard from Archbishop Hon? I'm sure he's easy to find.
    Just look for the Silent No More sign on the white pickup truck he drives around. Then you can ask him yourself. Get the facts. Don't ASSUME.

    1. Dear Anonymous at 7:31 am,

      You are probably correct. Nevertheless, if Father Dan was the one who said it, he may have either got it from Archbishop Hon or he knew all along that the removal was valid. According to an anonymous commenter in the jungle:

      AnonymousJuly 16, 2016 at 9:52 PM
      As far back as 2014, I heard from Fr Bien's own mouth the allegations about Fr. Paul. He was one of the associates at Santa Barbara at that time, and I felt the conviction of his words that the allegations as far as he was concerned were indeed true. If ever there is a hearing on this, Fr. Bien has to account for the stories he spread about Fr. Paul.

    2. Here's a comment from someone who is brave enough to put his name on a comment in the jungle

      Jose M. July 16, 2016 at 4:28 PM
      To be clear, AB Hon was not at the Mongmong parish visit. He was too busy with the NCW to bother with visiting our parish. But I digress (or do I?)

      What was mentioned of the status of both Mnsgr James and Fr. Paul was in response to a comment by a parishioner. The parishioner wanted to express that these parish visits mean little if AB Hon has not addressed the removal of both priests and the absence of any retraction of their removals sans due process.

      Fr. Dan Bein, the Mongmong representative member of the Parish Visitation ad hoc committee was the one who alluded that there may be some validity to the accusations.

      That statement, I believe, was intended to pertain to only one of the clergy and not both.


      So it looks like you don't have to look for Joseph Santos. Jose M said that Archbishop Hon was not at Mongmong so you did ASSUME wrongly.

    3. Dear Anonymous at 10:44 am,

      Was Jose at there at the parish visit? What made him believe that Father Dan was referring to only one clergy especially when the parishioner asked about both clergies? As for the Anonymous person who heard Father Dan back in 2014, his testimony is just as valid. We already know that there was a witness who heard what Father Dan said in 2014.

      I know I'm asking for it here, but hear me out: it is certainly possible that there was some inappropriate relationship of Fr Paul with another person in his parish. I'd hate to think so, but it's not impossible. Let's be clear that that may be an issue to factor in hee. But what's more important based on Tim's many articles is that Fr Paul wasn't given his canonical due. In fact he was seriously abused by AAA's actions here and his gossip at the retreat. So either way Fr Paul has a real claim for reinstatement and an apology for all involved.

      I say all this because I just don't want things to get confused if some evidence of something inappropriate did come out. But based on the bs with Fr Luis and the philandering priests, it's shouldn't matter to the chancery anyway.

    8. Dear Anonymous at 6:44pm,

      I do not think there was any inappropriate relationship between Father Paul and anyone else. I believe Father Dan was referring to the allegation, which was disobedience. There was an investigation at the Dededo parish when someone complained that the person whom Father Paul was supposed to fire was still working in the Church. Archbishop Hon may have reviewed the investigation documents.

      Since Father Paul's removal, the jungle had blamed the NCW. The jungle believed that Archbishop Apuron wanted the NCW into the Dededo parish. If that were true, the Archbishop would have placed an RMS priest there. But Father Dan who was already there was placed in charge. The jungle never had any problems with Father Dan being in charge UNTIL Joseph Santos and an anonymous person heard him say that there may be some validity to their removal. Then, they changed their song and dance, which is not surprising.

      Have you not notice, that when I said that we pray the rosary, they changed their song and dance again. First, they say that we do not say the rosary and that we even put the rosary down. Then later, they say it is only after 12 years that they tell the he NCW members to pray the rosary. They could never stick to the same story. The NCW members were never told not to pray the rosary. What they teach us in the Way is HOW to pray. They taught us HOW to pray just as the Carmelites and religious were taught to pray at 3:00 am every day.

      Delete
    9. Actually it was the NCW that "changed its song and dance". For the bulk of its history the NCW mocked the rosary and accused anyone who had th devotion to the rosary of being naturally relogious, or "pagan". After being criticized for its attitude to the ROsary, Kiko tried to contain the damage by pretending to endorse the rosary - through the method now used- that the Rosary is given only at a certain time and under certain conditions.

      You misunderstood what natural religiosity means. The Catholic Church is against religiousity, which is also what the NCW is against. You can read about it in the following weblink:

    12. The pope is being disingenuous. What are these supposed devotions that do not "brings you to Jesus". He gives no example. Its simply words meant to sound profound. Can you give an example of a Catholic devotion that is not focused on Jesus, or does not bring one to Jesus?

      The pope also refers to those "who have a false sense of religiosity" and “only seek devotions”. Who are these alleged people? Does he mean faithful Catholics? Can you specify who these people are supposed to be? Its all nonsense.

      Show me a Catholic that practices devotions, and I'll show you someone that believes in Christ and his Church.

    16. Dear Diana, no I can't. I fail to see that popular pious devotions are not centred on Christ, or that they don't lead one to Christ. Perhaps you can think of an example? Your definition - "to have more affection towards a religious practice than to God" - is in my mind a false dichotomy. More likely, having affection toward a religious practice is motivated by affection for Christ.

      So, I'll ask you once again, for what its worth. Please give us a real example of this so-called religiosity.

    18. How are you defining religiosity? If the Church is against it, then what is it?

      Delete
    19. Dear anon at 11:05, here is an example. I hope you have humility in your heart to heed.

      Although wearing a Biba Katoliku t-shirt and protesting with an "I love my Catholic Church" sign would make you look very, very much religious, this would NOT make you a good Catholic by itself! Especially if you want to exclude your sisters and brothers from the church. The Catholic Church is not yours to exclude but to share! Do you understand this, my friend?

      Connecting to the Lord Jesus in outwardly signs is a kind of religiosity, but the same time excluding the Lord Jesus, as manifested in others, from your heart and rejecting Him as your Savior is betraying Him and abandoning his Church. You need a true relation to Jesus inwardly, in your heart and soul, so that you may truly come close to Him.

      Delete
    20. So thta's the best you can do? We were speaking of devotions, specifically the Rosary, and you want to point out that wearing a particular t-shirt and protesting is proof of natural religiosity?

      First of all, under DIana's definition, your example fails. This is not an "affection toward a religious practice or devotion".

      Secondly, the fact that someone chooses to demonstrate against what they believe is damage to the Church is hardly evidence that they "exclude the Lord Jesus". Quite the contrary I would say. How you see that as "rejecting Him as your Savior" is totally beyond me. You may not like it but it only shows your particulr prejudice, and not anything about the faith of the demonstrators.

    21. Dear Anonymous at 9:12 pm,

      Actually, it was you who failed to understand. Your devotion to the Catholic Church rather than to God is religiosity. We worship God and only God alone. You are not supposed to worship the Church that Christ built. Christ said to love God with all your mind, all your heart, and with all your soul. That was the first commandment. The second is to love your brothers and sisters, which is the Church. God comes first even before the Church. Your protests and tee-shirts has always been about the Church. It was never about God.

      In this case, the protesters were worshipping the Church building. When they demand that they want their church back, they meant the building because they want all RMS priests and the Way out.

      As to your question, do not confuse the actual Body of Christ which we consume during Mass to the members of the Church. We love and adore God first and foremost. The church members (who is also the Church) comes second. Nothing should come first before God, and nothing is equal to God. God is above all things because He is the Creator of all things.

    On Guam, it has seized power by gaining control of its Archbishop and controlling him. The Catholic church on Guam has lost valuable resources to the NCW. We lost our Yona property, lost our priests, lost new priests who were turned away for not wanting to become Neo, and much more.

If the seminary actually belonged to someone else, Archbishop Hon would not be able to conduct a visit into the seminary.......simple as that.

      You are like the members of KKK who convince themselves by faulty and murderous logic that they are right to exclude others from the benefits of life and faith. They convince themselves that it is okay to attack and kill others. Then you see the KKK in action, their activity is marked by crying families and burning crosses.

      Your language is that of the KKK, that of dehumanizing, elimination, lynching and murder. What would you do with someone whom you just called a cancer? What would you do with a group you just called cancerous? Be honest, my friend, and admit what is on your heart. Dehumanizing others is the first step of elimination, lynching and murder. Your only excuse might be that you have no idea what you are talking about.

      Make no mistake, my friend, your excuse is hereby expired! You cannot hide behind your ignorance anymore. We just told you what you are doing. From now on, if you use the language of exclusion and elimination again, you will be called what you are, the KKK of Guam.

When you dehumanize a group do people (NCW) as evil, satanic, and a cancer, then it becomes easier for others to seek their destruction because they see them as something that is not human.
