A friend showed me some of the things Frenchie had written in the jungle. In his post, Frenchie emphasized the following:
So far the only people getting any type of benefit from this situation have been the lawyers representing all the parties. The sale of the Yona property being the perfect example of the lawyers gobbling up all the proceeds of the sale of that property.
Well of course, only the lawyers will benefit. At the end of the day, the alleged victims will get a minimum amount and nowhere near what the lawyers got. However, let us not forget that the people who allowed this situation to happen were the same people who advocated for the Traditional Latin Mass, criticized the regular parish Mass, and persecuted the Neocatechumenal Way. Now, do you understand why Pope Francis “nailed the heart of TLM” (Frenchie’s own words). The Pope did this because it was the TLM Catholics who caused the division in the Catholic Church. The evidence is even here in Guam. Those who cause division do it out of pride or jealousy or both. The NCW have never done anything to restrict the Traditional Latin Mass while the other side have accused the NCW of stealing a seminary from the Archdiocese and using the seminary for money laundering and human trafficking. Yet, in all their accusations, not once have they ever gone to the police to report it. Why? It is simply because they have no evidence. They only have accusations to throw without substantial evidence. Remember, it was CCOG who wrote a negative report about the seminary WITHOUT even visiting the seminary. And when a news reporter asked CCOG for the sources of their written report, they remained silent.
It was the jungle who enriched the lawyers handling the child abuse cases. It was the jungle who initiated and pushed for the passage of a law that would allow alleged victims of child abuse to bring lawsuits against the Church WITHOUT any investigation on those decades old allegations. In other words, the jungle made it possible for scammers to sue the Church because there will not be any investigations on the accuser’s allegations. And if we lose our parishes and Catholic schools, the jungle is responsible. And they will be responsible for the new victims, such as the students who will be displaced, resulting in the loss of our parishes and schools.
Kudos to Archbishop Byrnes for trying to keep our parishes and schools from being sold. We pray for Archbishop Byrnes who have already developed a plan to pay off the alleged victims without selling the parishes and schools. However, it is unfortunate that these alleged victims rejected the Archbishop’s plan. Let us pray that the Archbishop’s plan to pay the alleged victims prevail. We also pray for those victims of abuse to find healing through forgiveness. Healing always begins with forgiveness.
