Seminary Board Rejects Conspiracy Theory

The following article came from KUAM news.  Just as I suspected, the Yona property was purchased with the SOLE intention of establishing the Redemptoris Mater Seminary.  The Deed Restriction simply gives the RMS the USE of the property.  It never gave them the ownership of the property.  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A member of the Redemptoris Mater Seminary board is looking to set the record straight: (1) the RMS is an archdiocesan missionary seminary ordaining and educating only diocesan priests, (2) that there is no such thing as a Neocatechumenal priest, and (3) that the Archdiocese of Agana remains the owner of the multimillion dollar Yona property.
"All the recent speculations in regards to the ownership of the seminary, quality of education, amount of monies spent, etc. has brought sadness and disappointment," said Dr. Ricardo Eusebio. "As you are well aware, there are always two sides to a story, and my desire is perhaps to clarify some misconceptions or misunderstandings but ultimately revealing the truth as I know it. ."
Dr. Eusebio is just one of seven members of the Redemptoris Mater Seminary's board of directors. In an exclusive interview with KUAM News, he says Archbishop Anthony Apuron appointed him to the board in 2002. Despite what critics have to say, the RMS board stands their ground that there was no conspiracy for a secret takeover of the RMS and no attempt to push a Neocatechumenal Way itinerary.
"People don't know about the way. They heard bad things about it. They presuppose how things are. And lastly I think people are threatened and are afraid that they will have to be forced to join something like that 2142 all those things are absolutely not even true," he said. "A deed restriction for the use of the property by the Redemptoris Mater Seminary does not change the ownership of the property, nor the ability of the owner to sell the property. This legal opinion was confirmed by the Lewis Roca Rothgerber law firm from Denver, Colorado, whose expertise is on civil and canon law."
Dr. Eusebio adds that a title search by Pacific American Title Company on August 2014 lists the Archdiocese of Agana as the owners of the Yona property.

      The best thing is for CCOG to bring their lawsuit to court against RMS, and it will be settled in court. Showing you the document will only allow you to twist things around.

    2. I can see it now. I'm going to use the same kind of thing that Klitizkie likes to use in JW.

      Judge: CCOG what are the charges against RMS?

      CCOG: Your honor, we are charging RMS with fraud and theft of property. They stole the Hotel Accion (now known as RMS) from the archdiocese of Agana. This property should be returned to the archdiocese.

      Judge: What is your evidence.

      CCOG: We have here the Declaration of Deed Restriction showing that the property was transferred to RMS.

      Judge: RMS, are these charges true?

      RMS: Absolutely not your honor. This here is the Certificate of Titles with the Deed Restriction in the memorial. The Certificate of Titles shows that the owner is the Archdiocese of Agana. These are OFFICIAL documents.

      CCOG: Those certificates of titles are bogus.

      Judge: Do you have any substantial evidence showing that these documents are bogus?

      Essentially, CCOG would be incriminating the Director of Land Management and the Office of the Attorney General for fraud and document tampering. Do they really want to go that route? Is this the reason CCOG is having a difficult time finding a lawyer?

      By the way, didn't Senator Ada say that he was holding an oversight hearing for Land Management after Klitkie claimed document tampering. After hearing the Attorney General's opinion, that oversight hearing suddenly turned into an information hearing. Did that information hearing ever happen?

      You always insist that JW show their documents to prove their statement, but yet you say you don't want to show this one because they'll just twist things around. They have an answer for everything said or shown....why is this different? Just show the document so we can all see it for ourselves, too.

    4. Dear Anonymous at 11:20 am,

      Dr. Eusebio came out and spoke to KUAM about the Yona property, and all they did was call him a liar. There is no difference. We tell you our side, you call us our liars. We show you the documents, you call us liars. It is always the same. There is no difference.

    5. Right action is to take this matter to court.Let the courts decide on property title. Only then will we know if Archbishop Apuron gave the property away.

    6. Dear Anonymous at 2:16 pm,

      I agree. So, why have a quitclaim deed? What is taking CCOG from taking it to court?

  2. You haven't shown documents. That's a big difference. If you want to win over anyone but the choir, you have to give evidence.

      We have shown documents. Even with the correction of the Certificate of Titles, you still do not believe. We have been telling you that the RMS property still belongs to the Archdiocese of Agana.

    2. Have you shown this Rothberger document? I have been searching and have not found it yet.

    3. Dear Anonymous at 12:06 pm,

      Have CCOG bring RMS to court, then you can see all of it.

    4. I read that the CCOG is planning to visit the RMS. It should be interesting to hear how it goes. Or will they even be allowed to enter?

      Delete
    5. Dear Annonymous at 10:08 pm,

      Why? They already announced their research findings? I would think that they would have visited the seminary FIRST before they announced their research. After announcing their research findings, I certainly would not allow them to enter.

      Delete
  3. CCOG by Right should have been allowex entrance to RMS. Why? CCOG members are baptized members of the church. They are the church. If RMS belongs to Archdiocese then every catholic has a Right to enter. To stop entrance adds only to the growing list of human Rights abuses against catholics of Guam. Increasing human Rights abuses now daily happening.

    1. Dear Anonymous at 9:51 am,

      LFM and CCOG do not pay the Archdiocesan Annual Appeal; therefore, what right do they have to enter RMS???

      Delete
    2. Don't they have the right as baptized members of the Catholic Church? Something smells fishy again Diana.

      Delete
    3. Didn't Father Jeff say they could go there?

      Delete
    4. Diana,
      9:51 did not mention Annual Appeal. Since you brought it up, are you saying only those who do give to Annual Appeal have the right to enter RMS?
      Shouldn't ALL Catholics be allowed to enter?

      Delete
    5. Diana, do you know for a fact that "LFM and CCOG do not pay the Archdiocesan Annual Appeal"? Do you or RMS have the names of all who have donated to the Appeal?

      Maybe they feel they have the "right" to enter RMS because it belongs to the Archdiocese of Agana and until 2015 they had donated (or in your word "PAID") to the Catholic Charities Appeal and then Archdiocesan Annual Appeal.

      OR maybe RMS only open to NCW members. Is that it, Diana? If someone doesn't belong to the NCW they're not allowed entry?

    6. Dear Anonymous at 11:34 am,

      What is fishy is LFM and CCOG wanting to tour RMS after all the bad mouthing they have been doing and calling for the Seminary to be shut down. Now, what is wrong with that picture?

    7. Dear Equipment at 3:24 pm,

      You stated: "Maybe they feel they have the "right" to enter RMS because it belongs to the Archdiocese of Amana...."

      Seriously!!! These are the same people who kept saying that the property does not belong to the Archdiocese and kept shouting to shut the Seminary down.

  4. in the guise of being catholics....maybe they want to see where to put the main casino

  5. You said that they should visit the RMS because they don't know what they we're talking about so they went but weren't let in. Why is that? Is it because what they claimed was correct all along that the RMS is a sham? Don't use the excuse that it is because they didnt donate to the annual appeal. How do you know that? What is the RMS hiding over there besides foreigners? Pius, Apuron, drugs?

    1. Dear Anonymous at 4:18 pm,

      Seriously?? I think the real question is what is the purpose of their visitation. We already saw how they called the seminary a sham in their research......a research, which was done without visiting the seminary. Now suddenly, they want to visit the seminary? For what? What is their purpose for visiting the seminary? Surely, it is NOT to conduct any research.

    2. We thought Fr.Jeff was heading a commission about the Seminaries in Guam . Well there be a report?

    3. Dear Diana, Then why were they there? To look for Apuron? You always answer the question with a question. Let them in and we'll call it a day, okay Jackie?

      Just take it court. That should resolve everything.
