That was no snide remark ... but was meant in all seriousness. He spent nearly the entirety of his life as a con artist, where he was exposed for one lie after another, clumby photoshop jobs, etc. Given the tone of his obituary, where someone rightly remarked that he could have written it himself, it is absolutely NOT out of the realm of possibility that his demise somehow entails a continuation of his con job. He could very well be faking his death only to re-emerge somewhere else under a new identity, given that he's been thoroughly exposed as "Ambrose Moran". Then he shows up somewhere as "Bishop" Augustine Velovsky, if someone notices some resemblance to an Ambrose Moran, he can just point them to an obituary.
What you say may well be true, but is it necessary to point it out? Outside of a rather small group of people, most have never heard of Ambrose Moran.
I’m more interested in knowing if anyone can make sense of the convoluted explanation of his episcopal validity. It reminds me of the one sermon I heard, “Who Am I?” After listening for two hours, I still had no idea! I’m not sure he did, either.
God knows and has judged him accordingly. Maybe he was mentally ill or a not very good con artist.
May God have had mercy on his soul.
That is all.
