In our news wrap Thursday, more than 200 people in Guam are suing the U.S. territory’s Catholic diocese for sexual abuse dating back to the 1950s. The island’s former archbishop was convicted of sex abuse and cover-up in 2016 but remains a bishop. Also, more than 200 U.S. mayors are urging senators to return to Washington and pass gun safety legislation after mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton.
