HAGATNA, Guam (AP) — Guam’s Catholic Church will file for bankruptcy — a move that will allow the archdiocese to avoid trial in dozens of lawsuits alleging child sexual abuse by priests and move toward settlements.

Archbishop Michael Byrnes announced Wednesday that mediation efforts that began in September led the church to bankruptcy.

Nearly 200 victims of priest abuse identified in Guam. Presumably this is more homosexual sodomy of teens, misrepresented under a more generic "abuse" label so that the MSM does not have to discuss what is actually involved (homosexual priests).

Well, they sure wouldn’t want to have to payoff any of the little kids they buggered, now would they?

This was a really wide spread problem on Guam in the 80’s and 90’s

Guam has a small population and probably at most you only had 5-10,000 potential victims in the time period. To have 200 come forward means that this was all but an open secret. I wonder how many of these priests were sent to other Pacific Islands or to the Philippines?

all of them, no doubt...no defense available for those hiding behind people’s faith so as to satisfy perversion; they won’t play me again, as I have rescinded any faith I may have had...

Bankruptcy doesn’t keep settlements from being paid out, it just reduces the amount to something the liable party can actually pay.
