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.
