The Laity Forward Movement reached the doorstep of the Redemptoris Mater Seminary this afternoon, in protest to defrock Archbishop Apuron.

Guam- With demands to speak to Archbishop Anthony Apuron, the Laity Forward Movement marched past the typically closed gates of the Redemptoris Mater Seminary making it all the way up to the doorstep, until they were eventually chased out.

The protests from LFM to defrock Apuron continued, this time, at the entrance to the RMS. The protests have been going on for months, on a weekly basis at the Agana Cathedral.

The group wants Apuron removed in light of the controversial actions Apuron has taken in recent years, including the conveyance of the Yona property to leaders of the neocatechumenal way, as well as the allegations of sexual abuse against him.

Lou Klitzkie, one of the protesters voiced her frustrations during the protest, asking: “Why are they hiding? Come out and tell us the truth! Why did you give up the RMS? We’re very upset, very upset.”
