Archbishop Meets with Island Senators By Tom Hals Reuters October 19, 2009 http://www.guampdn.com/article/20091020/NEWS01/91020001/1002/%3CB%3ENEWS+UPDATE+%3C/B%3E+9+30+a.m.+-+Archbishop+meets+with+island+senators Several island senators have concluded a meeting with Archbishop Anthony Apuron and other members of the Catholic Church on Guam this morning in the wake of Vice Speaker Benjamin Cruz's allegations he was sexually abused by a Catholic priest while he was a teen in Los Angeles. The archbishop left the closed-door meeting without giving interviews to local members of the press who were waiting outside the meeting venue. "No comment, Okay? I need to look further into this," Apuron said. Cruz spoke about having been sexually abused because he said the archbishop's recent comments against a proposal for same-sex unions and homosexuality were infuriating. "This sanctimonious hypocrisy has to stop," Cruz, a former Guam Supreme Court chief justice, said. |
