Comment 1 dated November 10, 2014 (the bold is mine):
The sad part is that the Archbishop is simply lying and having others lie for him at the order of his Neocatechumenal Masters who need the Archbishop to stay standing for a few years longer so they can keep pumping out presbyters that probably couldn't get ordained anywhere else.........Fr. Pius, while he pretends to be the Archbishop's servant, is actually his lord and master.Comment 2 dated January 9, 2015 (the bold is mine):
Thus, all Apuron can do is add three more members who could tip the balance in a vote, but we all know that Apuron is completely controlled by the Gennarini's. This is because, Apuron is IN the Neocatechumenal Way and must be subservient to his Catechist. Giuseppe Gennarini is the "Catechist" for the United States.Comment 3 dated August 9, 2014:
In summary, Rohr advertised the propaganda that Archbishop Apuron was never in control, and that all decisions for the Archdiocese were made by Gennarini or the NCW. However, the truth is found in the 2010 CARA report. On page 40 of the 2010 CARA report, it cited the following as one of the problems between Archbishop Apuron and the clergy (the bold is mine):Received this from "Glad to be Back in Holy Mother Church". It verifies many things already mentioned on this blog.
- Archbishop Apuron is not in control.
- All decisions are made for this archdiocese, including who becomes a priest at RMS, by Giuseppe Gennarini, the lead "responsible" for the NCW in the United States. Gennarini is Fr. Pius' immediate superior, and Fr. Pius is the Archbishop's immediate superior. Gennarini's immediate superior is Kiko. This is the hierarchy controlling our church on Guam!
- Both Fr. Paul and Msgr. James were fired at Kiko & Gennarini's order.
Communication between the Archbishop and clergy...Local clergy cliques seem to exert pressure and influence on Archbishop's decisions.As you can see from the 2010 CARA report, it was the "local clergy cliques" that had been exerting pressure and influence on Archbishop Apuron all along. It was never the RMS priests, the NCW, Father Pius, or even the Gennarinis who influenced Archbishop Apuron. Obviously, the "local clergy cliques" did not like any decisions Archbishop Apuron made on his own. One then has to wonder who were in the "secret meetings" that Rohr mentioned after Father Paul was removed.
The jungle used the NCW, Father Pius, and the Genarinnis as scapegoats. Since the CARA report stated that the "local clergy cliques" exerted pressure and influence on Archbishop Apuron, one then has to wonder if the same thing is also being done to Archbishop Byrnes.
As for the Filipino priests, the jungle is claiming that the NCW is trying to separate the Filipino priests from the rest. According to the jungle blog:
The Neos never at a loss to capitalize on an opportunity recruited some influential Filipino priests in their ranks. The fact that these individuals were easily bought and paid for, eased the process. This led to some internal conflicts that are still existing today, even though things are not as overt, as they once were.The truth is many of the Filipino priests were never bought and paid for by the NCW. Have you noticed that Frenchie only gave lip service, but never produce any evidence of payment? Many Filipino priests feel comfortable with many RMS priests because they are also foreigners. Again, the facts are found in the 2010 CARA Report. On page 33 of the report, it stated:
Clergy born in the Philippines and the United States are most likely to agree at least "somewhat" that they often feel like an outsider because of their nationality, race, or ethnicity. (38 percent, compared to 5 percent of priests born in Guam or elsewhere).The facts will also show that the jungle expressed negative remarks about Filipino priests (see the weblink here). It is also a fact that Attorney David Lujan had made a racial remark about Archbishop Byrnes. According to KUAM news:
Not everyone is pleased with the new bishop-designee for the Archdiocese of Agana. According to Attorney David Lujan, he's offended by Rome's pick for Guam. He stated, "We've got numerous brown priests that were born here, that grew up here, that know the people of Guam and are part of the people of Guam, whether they be Chamorros or Filipinos. But we have more than enough qualified leadership in the local clergy really, who Rome should have contemplated."The nationality or skin color of the Archbishop should not be an issue. The NCW never separated the Filipino priests from the rest. The jungle did that on their own with their negative remarks against them (see the weblink here). Negative remarks about the Filipino priests apparently goes back even before the 2010 CARA report.
All the negative things are blamed on the NCW, and all the positive things are credited to the jungle. A case in point...... according to Tim Rohr:
And NO, it is not thanks to the once a year "wave" or "march for life" staged by the archdiocese so "they" could feel better about themselves. It was due to the small people, like my daughters, who stood out in front of those abortion clinics day after day, in the rain, alone, sick, tired, and feeling defeated, with their signs, their rosaries, and their presence...when no one else did. God bless you.Facts will show that the reason there is no longer any abortion being done in Guam is simply because Dr. Freeman, the only abortion doctor on island, RETIRED. According to the Pacific Daily News:
For years there were two doctors who performed abortions on Guam. One retired in 2016; the second doctor retired last month, leaving the island without any physicians who will perform abortions.,,,,,,
Since late 2016, Dr. William Freeman at the Women's Clinic had been the island's only abortion provider.
Dr. Jeffrey Gabel, who’s been practicing in Guam for about 10 years, said he took over the Women’s Clinic effective June 1. Gabel said he doesn’t conduct abortions and he doesn’t support abortions made at will.
“I’m pro-life,” Gabel said.
Gabel, an obstetrician and gynecologist, said within about a week or two after he took over, word got around fairly quickly that Freeman had retired and Gabel had taken over. Gabel said he worked under Freeman but hadn't performed abortions.The credit goes to Dr. Jeffrey Gabel who took over the clinic and chose to follow his Christian beliefs of pro-life.
July 2 will be the first day for priests in their new assignments. And watch parishioners follow their favorite priest to Agana and to Tamuning. Msgr James and Father Mike have their groupies follow them wherever they go. I thought priests were to lead their parishioners to Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteWe learn in the Way to rid ourselves of idols and to look to Jesus Christ for his love, mercy and providence. We are encouraged to welcome our new pastors and let them know we are available to them. Though we may have a new pastor, we continue to serve our parish in many ways. As CCD teachers, choir members, lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, parish office staff and parish council members. We are Brothers in a community within our parish.
We welcome our new Pastors.
Archbishop Apuron fought abortions for years and today, all our prayers were answered.

Hey Diana I feel blessed during this time because like how someone told me that we are going through like the first Christian’s and this is like what Archbishop Anthony would always tell us that we are the neocatechumenal way which we are being the first Christian’s
ReplyDeleteWhy doe FRENCHIE think we are being told to support LOU & JOSH in the Gov Campaign? Is there something I am missing?
ReplyDeleteOr is it a poor excuse of a write-up due to lack of reader content, or readers in general?
Frenchie even goes on to say that Telena Nelsons entry into the Senate was part of a Neo driven agenda. I was at a specific meeting(WYD PLANNING) where Father Pius told Telena he feared(was against) her running for senator.
Im just amazed at how desperate they are to attack the NCW in any way possible.
Pas!

Dear Jokers Wild,
DeleteI am guessing that he got bored and decided to invent a story.
Agana, Asan, Tamuning, Yigo and Santa Bernadita communities have new pastors since last Monday, July 2. Was wondering if the communities had their Word and Eucharist celebrations since then. Hopefully, the new pastors have been receptive to the communities continuing in their parishes.
DeleteYigo and Asan had Eucharist last Saturday.
DeleteYigo and Asan did not have a Celebration of the Eucharist in their parish churches.
ReplyDeleteThey had the Eucharist in a parish that accepted them. As Diane said, there are priests who don't walk in the Way, but they support the Way. They chose not to take the side of the persecutors.
