Dear Friends and Benefactors,
The final decision on the case of Archbishop Ambrose Moran and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Seminary is as follows: After a long investigation, it is concluded that while the Archbishop is a valid Bishop there are nonetheless unexplained anomalies related to his case which have not been able to be verified as true since evidence points in multiple directions in these anomalies. Ample time has been given to clear up these anomalies, but the results are inconclusive. Proper sufficient ecclesiastical authentication is therefore lacking. Hence the Archbishop cannot be used in his episcopal powers for Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Seminary. The following note was sent to the Archbishop on Jan 16, 2019 last week.
Dear Archbishop Ambrose,
Please be Advised that to this date final sufficient verification required by the Church to use your episcopal powers for our Seminary is not in our hands. You have been asked and given ample time to provide the necessary certificates with real clear authentication. You have not done so. We did all we could on our part to facilitate your obtention of all necessary proofs. Hence, We cannot proceed with any allowance of your services in capacity of Bishop for Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Seminary.
In Christ,
Fr Joseph Pfeiffer
Rector
May God bless all the Investigators, both here and abroad, who worked diligently and thoroughly in this matter, without bias, intimidation or coercion as well as all those souls who have manifested their prayers, sacrifices and legitimate concerns on this case.
May all those who have spread unfounded gossip and twisted tales be forgiven and beg forgiveness for the spreading of evil.
As for myself, I am sorry for any of my failings in this matter as well. I do not wish to turn down the gifts of Our Lady or to move forward rashly, hence the slow movement forward in this case.
May God bless each and every one, and may Our Holy Mother Mary let us persevere in the great battle of the faith by keeping it whole unblemished, and entire to hand down to the next generation what we have received.
In Christ,
Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer
Rector Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Seminary
