I understand that in civil law a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty, but canonical law and ecclesiastical responsibility work differently. Bishops and ecclesiastical authorities have the duty to protect the faithful, especially minors, and can remove or suspend priests based on credible accusations, even in the absence of criminal convictions. That is not “running the show” but acknowledging the Church’s responsibility to safeguard souls.
My concern is not about causing dissension but about ensuring that serious allegations are not ignored or dismissed without scrutiny. I am not questioning the personal judgment of Bishops Ballini or Morgan, nor am I claiming to overrule them. The question is whether the canonical process was carried out properly and transparently. If it was, then the matter should be able to withstand honest examination.
I do attend Mass exclusively in the Resistance but not in the UK and care deeply about the integrity of the priesthood and the faithful. This is not about personal preference but about responsibility. Concern for the truth is not the same as interfering with the Church’s authority.
Here is the other side presented by Moran's friend, Truthy. Take note of the part in
red.

You say they are highly unlikely and rare, but what evidence do you have or that? Priests are being cancelled every day and the easiest and quickest excuse available is inappropriate behaviour with minors, even when this doesn’t involve the police or civil authorities. It is a fact that Fr. M has never been questioned by the police let alone arrested or convicted. His totally clear police checks from the UK, Ireland and Martinique (France) show that.
This affair doesn’t give them a black eye.
There has been absolutely no mention of this at all in Martinique. Nothing on the website of the diocese announcing the ‘laicisation’ or anything else. Yet they have done this with regard to the arrest of another priest there. Strange.
I don’t think Fr. Moran was in Martinique for 10 years. He arrived in 2016 and left in 2019 after making a complaint to the Holy See about the behaviour of the Archbishop. Fr. M is also a canon lawyer.
Remember that Fr. M was not a priest when in Martinique. He was ordained after leaving. There is a docuмent which he was asked to sign in 2017 agreeing to various things, including not publicly celebrating the Traditional Mass, and celebrating the new Mass in French with all the horrors when asked to - even though when INVITED to the diocese it was under the condition that he would never have to say the new Mass ever.
The charges against Fr. M are very vague. He still doesn’t know exactly what they are, even after having been found guilty of committing them. Matthew notes that “they threatened an "administrative criminal trial" which is not a "trial" at all, it's not what most of us picture when we hear "trial". They key word here is "administrative". It's about as much a "trial" as a boss all alone in his office deciding to fire someone.” Yet this is the exact same extrajudicial penal process which Fr. M was faced with, only
in his case he was not given the right to defend himself, nor to have a canonical legal advocate, nor to have the process conducted in a language he properly understood. He has never seen the acts of the case and has only been given the barest of information about it, after he was declared guilty by a judge who had himself been recused for lacking impartiality 18 months before.
The Holy See is in possession of 5 sworn affidavits from young men and the mother of 13 children which testify under oath that the archbishop of Martinique approached them and asked them to fabricate allegations against Fr. M. This was all in the years immediately BEFORE retaliatory accusations were made against Fr. M and 3 years after he had left Martinique and the Novus Ordo Church and refused requests by the bishop for him to voluntarily seek laicisation as he was no longer working in the diocese and was ‘absent without leave’. The ‘vos estis’ complaint was made to the Vatican in 2020 and 2021. The ‘allegations’ against Fr. M only surfaced in July 2022.
After being declared ‘guilty’ in an administrative process and refused the right to appeal, Fr. M was given the barest of details of what he was accused of. Yet, there is evidence in the form of aeroplane tickets and passport stamps, as well as bank statements, which show that he was thousands of miles away in Europe at the time.
People are talking of previous allegations taking place in Cardiff and London. Fr. M was never a cleric for either of those dioceses and if there was even the slightest evidence of issues or problems of this sort; is it conceivable in this day and age (2016), that he would have been invited to go to Martinique by the bishop? As Matthew pointed out, “The Conciliar Church has enough scandal in this department. They don't need to give themselves additional black eyes.”
But of course Matthew knows all this because he has seen a letter from Fr. M’s advocate which details the entire thing. Fr. M has also volunteered on several occasions to speak with Matthew and provide any and all docuмentary evidence for him to see. He simply doesn’t want to post the entire thing online whilst canonical proceedings are still underway in Rome AGAINST the bishop of Martinique. Yet Matthew has not responded to those several requests and continues to ply this out, helping destroy the reputation and good name of a priest. For what purpose exactly?
Bishops Williamson, Ballini and Morgan have all seen this evidence and are obviously satisfied with it.
The Archbishop of Martinique, the accuser and judge of Fr Moran.
Cardinal Tucho who is the Cardinal Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, who allowed the archbishop of Martinique to continue, who ignored the evidence and refused to even consider my appeal even though it was clear that I wasn’t in the hemisphere at the time.
