"Not nice"? It is not intended to be "nice" but accurate and offered as a warning to others. What I have accused Fr. McMahon, I am willing to substantiate with detailed information. In this matter of Fr. Collins, he has again behaved in an unethical manner which has lead to accusations of gross impropriety being made against John Sharpe. It is impossible to defend John Sharpe without identifying who is responsible for this unfortunate matter. But I affirm that this is not an isolated case with Fr. McMahon but is wholly consistent with his past behavior. If he wants to defend himself regarding his actions in York, Baltimore and Boston with which I am personally familiar, and now with Fr. Collins, let him do so.

The same man that Fr Collins, since before his cancer diagnosis, chose to stay with him and take care of him in the rectory and take on his priestly duties at his chapel? The same man that Fr Collins named in his Will to be part of his funeral mass? That same man?

Maybe, just maybe having been with Father Collins 24/7 for weeks before he died, this man knew better what Fr Collins wanted when he died.

The will says what the will says. If Fr Collins has wanted +Dolan to be in charge, he would’ve put it in there. He didn’t die suddenly; He had plenty of time to change the docuмent. He obviously didn’t.

No that’s why a will exists; so that everyone knows what was wanted. And it’s called a “will” for a reason. The dying person is saying “this is what I will to happen.”

It wouldn’t be that hard for you to google ny estate law. If you did you would find out that verbal changes to the will are legally valid. The only problem with them is that they are hard to prove in court. But if the executor accepted the testimony of the witnesses he would not be fined for failure to carry out his responsibility. Also, in a case where the changes have nothing to do with property (such as the naming of a particular priest or bishop to offer the Requiem Mass) there is a very low probability that anyone will object. But then again we are talking about traditional Catholics who are nothing if not tribal.

“Maybe”? You can play that game all day and it is a game for those who have nothing better to do. Maybe, just maybe, Fr. McMahon was there in the same sense that a vulture shows up to comfort the dying. It was not too long ago he did the same thing with Fr. Casimir Peterson in Baltimore to ingratiate himself for the purpose of getting control of the Reparation Society of the Immaculate Heart of Mary which had several million dollars in the bank. In doing this Fr. McMahon gave a false spelling of his name and false background to prevent any discovery of his true identity. When the deception was exposed Fr. Peterson, who had initially been impressed by Fr. McMahon, had the police intervene to prevent any further contact.

Fr. Collins trusted Fr. McMahon and requested in his Will that Fr. McMahon assist Bishop Neville at his funeral Mass, but he did not trust him enough to ask him to be the executor of his Will. That responsibility he entrusted to John Sharpe. Fr. McMahon betrayed Fr. Collins and tried to replace Bishop Neville with Bishop Dolan and, as said before, I do not think that Bishop Dolan instigated this scheme. Furthermore, Fr. McMahon has not made any claim that Fr. Collins made any change to his Will to him privately, nor did Fr. McMahon make any effort to have a codicil drafted by Fr. Collins. What you are speculating on is without any foundation whatsoever.

Now I think you could speculate all you like regarding Fr. McMahon’s motives but what he did does not meet the relatively low standard of common legal or business ethics. Your attempt to excuse Fr. McMahon necessarily requires casting aspersions on John Sharpe. So maybe, just maybe, you should leave well enough alone because the more you cast aspersions on John Sharpe, the more problems buried in Fr. McMahon’s past are going to be dragged up because what is being weighed in the balance is the character of these men.

Drew, because you were so incredibly naive to get conned for years by a fake immoral “priest”, you lost credibility with many people in your ability to judge any man’s character, especially a valid priest. I’d keep my mouth shut, your track record is horrendous.
