The Concerned Catholics of Guam are demanding an apology from Archbishop Anthony Apuron.

Guam - The Concerned Catholics of guam is demanding an apology from Archbishop Anthony Apuron for referring to them as a group that’s plotting against the Church.

The group held a press conference today saying they are appalled that the archbishop would refer to them that way as their objective is to assist the church in healing the division within the catholic community. The reference was allegedly made in a letter Archbishop Apuron wrote to Deacon Steve Martinez last week, demanding that Deacon Martinez cut ties with CCOG or face censureship.

"We wanted to bring this to the attention of the media of the public that this is wrong. We are not plotting against the church. We love our church, we wanna help her," said Vice President Dave Sablan. "Is this group really plotting against the church and that is why Deacon Steve is being asked to step down or face censurehsip? That is not true. So if he is censured he’s being censured on false claims because we have been very transparent about our organization. We have requested to meet with the archbishop."
