Guam – Another prayer protest was held in front of the Cathedral Basilica yesterday.

The Laity Forward Movement held the protest as gatherers held signs calling for Archbishop Anthony Apuron’s resignation.

The Archbishop has come under fire in recent years over the disputed ownership of the Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Yona.

The protesters are also calling for the restoration of Father Paul Gofigan as the pastor of Santa Barbara Church and Msgr. James Benavente as rector.

Just last week the Archbishop was criticized for his handling of Father Luis Camacho, the former pastor of the Umatac and Merizo churches, who was arrested last year for picking up a minor from school without consent.

Lou Klitzkie is one of the organizers of yesterday’s silent protest.
