Roland Sondia and his wife Frances thank the community for their support. The couple appeared on KUAM Radio this morning On Wednesday, Sondia publicly accused Archbishop Anthony Apuron of molesting him decades ago, when he was only 15 years old. Although Apuron has denied child sex abuse allegations and blames such allegations for the growing divide in the church, Sondia hopes his story can help make the local Catholic Church whole again.
“I’m not going to destroy the church,” he said on KUAM Radio this morning. “My effort is to bring the church back together – to unify the church and make it whole again. He divided the church, and the church is the people, of course. We’re just approaching the individual. We want this individual to acknowledge what he did and apologize to all the Catholic faithful here on the island.”
Sondia and his wife Frances were guests on Isla63-AM’s talkradio with Jess Lujan.
