Guam – Members of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests continues its criticism of Archbishop Anthony Apuron. SNAP called for the removal of Father John Wadeson last month, accusing the archbishop of knowing the priest’s past but kept him in active and prominent ministry locally. SNAP says that according to the archdiocese of Los Angeles, Wadeson has been accused of abuse by two children in the 1970 and has been banned from acting as a priest there. SNAP’s volunteer regional director Joelle Casteix comments “how many warnings does Apuron need before he takes any action to protect children? It seems he only responds to embarrassment.”
