No Priest Is Safe

An anonymous poster made the following comment under the post "At The Cost Of Everything":  


"The others are either dead or off-island." Or have not yet been publicly identified and accused. Maybe like Joe San Agustin, just conveniently hushed up since these priests are the favorites of the Jungle. Only a matter of time.

Under the thread, someone brought up Father Mike Crisostomo's name because he was assigned to move to the Yigo parish, but he never made it there.  What is interesting though was that it was Tim Rohr himself who actually brought up that Father Mike was being accused of sexual molestation by someone for years. Tim Rohr claimed to know who that person is, but he discredited that person. Rohr claimed that Archbishop Hon intends to use that person to remove Father Mike.  However, whoever that person is, he never came out.  And Archbishop Hon never removed Father Mike Crisostomo.  The person who brought up the topic of sexual molestation against Father Mike Crisostomo was Tim Rohr himself.  It was first brought up in the Junglewatch blog.

However, it was Tim Rohr who wanted to remove Archbishop Hon.  Below is a screenshot of Tim warning Rome to remove Archbishop Hon for his own safety. 


Then below is another screenshot taken from the jungle showing Tim accusing Archbishop Hon of trying to remove Father Mike Crisostomo by having someone accuse him of sexual abuse. 


Although this accusation was published on Junglewatch, Tim Rohr also went public with it in the Patti Arroyo talk show.  He accused Archbishop Hon of trying to remove Father Mike Crisostomo by coming up with a trumped up charge of sexual abuse against him. According to Tim Rohr, this person had been claiming that he was sexually molested by Father Mike for YEARS!!!!  You can listen to Tim Rohr's interview in the following weblink: 


Now, here is something that you should bear in mind.  If this person had been accusing Father Mike Crisostomo for YEARS (as Tim Rohr claimed), then there is no reason for Archbishop Hon to even convince this person to make such accusation against Father Mike, considering that he has been doing it already for YEARS.  That would defeat the purpose.  So much for Tim's accusation against Archbishop Hon. 

Another thing you should bear in mind is why did Tim Rohr discredit this alleged victim who claimed to be sexually molested by Father Mike Crisostomo? Why is this alleged victim being suppressed by Tim Rohr?  Why and how does Tim Rohr decide who is a victim and who is not?  It is also interesting to note how Rohr describes the strategy of removing the enemy to Patti Arroyo. 

As long as this law is in place, no priest is safe because the law already made it possible for anyone to bring a lawsuit against a priest regardless of whether the witness is dead and even if there are no substantial evidence.  The name and reputation of a priest can be tarnished even after he is long dead.  Forty or fifty years after he is gone, anyone can claim that he/she was sexually molested by him, and he would not be able to defend himself from the grave. 

After 15 years of lawsuits from alleged victims, the Boston Archdiocese is still receiving lawsuits to this day.  But now, the accusers are getting younger.  Many of the accusers coming forward are in their 20s and 30s.  According to The Boston Globe:
Fifteen years after the clergy sex abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston broke into public view, hundreds of victims around the world continue to come forward, including some who say they were attacked as recently as 2001, advocates said Thursday.........
Garabedian said some clergy sex abuse victims now coming forward are in their late 20s or early 30s, meaning they were abused in the 1980s or 1990s.
“The clergy sexual abuse crisis is endless,” he said. “They’ve enabled the sexual abuse to continue for decades, and it’s not going to end in my lifetime.”

  1. Rohr said that the person accusing Fr. Mike of sexual molestation is not credible. The guy is messed up that no one can believe him.

    1. Dear Anonymous at 11:10 am,

      Is Rohr a psychiatrist? Many people who were sexually abused become messed up. Many of them turn to drugs and alchohol. Some of them become homosexual, and some of them end up having mental problems due to the trauma of the sexual abuse. I'm not saying Fr. Mike is guilty. But why is JW suppressing this person. They had no trouble suppressing Quintanilla, Denton, and Sondia.

    2. Sexual abuse by priests are sickening. But will money solve the problem? Will money heal the scars? Only God can provide the peace and healing for victims. But do we believe in God? I can hear most people's responses - "Yeah, right. Where was God when all this was happening?" Ultimately, God will make justice.

  2. So, when someone accuses a priest JW likes, they suppress that person. And Rohr says he's doing this to clean the church???? Those protestors better wake up fast. They're being hoodwinked.

    1. Like former priest Joe San Agustin who hypocritically is part of CCOG until he was exposed by a girl claiming she was sexually abused by him. But Apuron, RMS, NCW are constantly in the news. Is hypocrite Joe San Agustin still picketing for CCOG?

    2. Courage! God will have the last say over all the evil activities against the Catholic Church on Guam.

    3. The NCW should be commended for encouraging vocations to the priesthood and the religious life. NCW members have grown their faith in their walk of spiritual growth. NCW is unashamedly pro-life as evidenced by the number of large families in the communities. Vocations are fostered early in members' lives. And when God calls, brothers and sisters stand for discernment and formation leading to the priesthood or the religious life. When members experience God's love and mercy, they can't help but want to proclaim the Good News of Jesus' love and forgiveness of sins. The NCW is a help to the Catholic Church. Why shoot down the NCW and the RMS? A fruit of the Holy Spirit will never be defeated. The NCW and RMS are fruits of the Holy Spirit. The jungle and CCOG wants to destroy our local Catholic Church. Our Father God will not allow it to happen.

  3. Tim accused AB Hon of concocting a conspiracy against Fr. Mike by bringing in a false witness. Really interesting turn of events. AB Apuron claimed his removal was a conspiracy concocted by Tim by bringing in false witnesses.

  4. Diana I believe the church is being investigated here because look at the jungle he's putting up the Vatican flag again and when he had the flag up the last time the archbishop was put on leave and when Byrnes had a press conference guess what Byrnes said they are in hiatus looks like their hiding their corruption and Byrnes knows the truth of what's happening because I heard from someone that he's been writing to the Vatican and I believe that Byrnes is hiding his good friends Monsignor and father paul because when archbishop Anthony sablan apuron was he never hid anything from us he would publish it

    1. Dear God is one,
      I'm so confused by your comment.
      1) Who is putting up the Vatican flag? I went to the jungle but didn't see the Vatican flag.
      2) Who is "they" where you said "guess what Byrnes said THEY are in hiatus?"
      3) You said "I heard from someone that he's been writing to the Vatican" WHO is writing to the Vatican? Byrnes? or the "someone" you heard from?
      4) You said "I believe that Byrnes is hiding his good friends Monsignor and father paul." What makes you think that "Monsignor and Fr. Paul" are his "good friends?"

      I read your comment several times to myself and then out loud to my friend. We both can't figure out what you're trying to say. We tried to figure out where one thought ended and another one began because your comment is one very long sentence. Please help us out.
      Thank you.

    2. Look whose always beside him father paul and his right hand man Carl and Monsignor and you know who I'm talking about because if you watched the news from the archbishop he said they are on a hiatus right now

    3. Dear God is one at 1:50 PM,
      I certainly DO NOT KNOW who or what you are talking about.
      If you're looking at the 9:30 Sunday Masses at the Cathedral OF COURSE Fr. Paul is beside the Archbishop because he is concelebrating with the Archbishop.
      BUT you say "Look whose always beside him father paul and his right hand man Carl and Monsignor" You're saying that Fr. Paul and Monsignor are ALWAYS beside him? I don't remember the last time I saw Monsignor beside the Archbishop at the same time as Fr. Paul.

      And I guess I missed the news when the Archbishop said "they are on a hiatus right now" which I think is interesting since I attended Mass with the Archbishop and Fr. Paul. I haven't been to St Anthony but I've heard that Monsignor is still active there. So who is on hiatus???

    1. Dear God is one,

      I do not think he is hiding the Vatican flag. I get the impression that he is boasting that the Vatican is reading his blog.

    2. Dear God is one,

      I think you're a little bit confused.
      First at 10:13 AM you wrote "look at the jungle he's putting up the Vatican flag again" and then at 1:45 PM you wrote "Timmy is trying to hide the Vatican flag."

      I think Diana at 5:19 PM is right when she told you "I do not think he is hiding the Vatican flag"

      But you have to decide for yourself what Tim Rohr is doing to the Vatican flag: put it up OR hide it?
      You said he's doing BOTH and that just doesn't make sense.

  8. Another priest has been named in the lawsuit. This time it's Fr. Jack Niland. Niland is a well-known and beloved priest in Agat. 🤤

  9. Ofm caps were holy men. Friary is a perfect place where we sing Latin Mass / real devotions unlike NCW.
    Fr.Jack Niland holy man of God. Friary is real catholic church. Friary is under attack. Let us defend friary Fr.Jack from lies. This is about Apuron not our Friary home of devout true Catholics of Our Island,

    1. Dear Anonymous at 8:38 am,

      I published your comment to show that when an alleged victim comes forward accusing the priests whom the jungle admires, they are willing to go against that alleged victim.

      Note in the OP, I already have Rohr discrediting an alleged victim.
