An expert in canon law says there is no specific timetable to complete the investigation of Archbishop Apuron. But in light of Pope Francis' recent decree against sexual abuse,
the results could come sooner than expected. Father Wilmer Rosario is a
judge in the tribunal for the Archdiocese of Manila, and a graduate of
the Angelicum, a pontifical university in Rome.
He told KUAM News, "We hope that since the issue of sexual abuse is egregious, especially against minors have a special or extraordinary gravity as considered in the church and church law, maybe it would be swifter, it would be quicker to decide on, but of course as always due process is considered."
