Archbishop Michael Jude Byrnes said Wednesday the Vatican has not yet issued a decision on the canonical trial of Archbishop Anthony S. Apuron.
Apuron faces multiple civil lawsuits over the alleged rape and sexual abuse of altar boys in the 1970s.
Byrnes said he will hold a news conference, as soon as Thursday, to provide an update on the Vatican’s canonical trial process.
As of 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, the Archdiocese of Agana hadn’t provided further details about the news briefing.
Apuron’s ongoing canonical trial came up during he question-and-answer portion of Byrnes’ monthly “Updating the Faithful” series on Wednesday.
