This is interesting because if you look at some of the pictures on the Ambrose wordpress site it shows him officiating at a wedding in a Roman Catholic church in Bay Shore, NY.

St. Patrick's church in Bay Shore, NY.

I feel posed to question whether the "Ambrose" in this picture is the same "Ambrose" who offered Mass on the altar at the Pfeiffer farm.

Well, I was skeptical at first with his "cathinfo doesn't like Ambrose" dismissive comment, but I must say that this wins my video of the week award.

I like this line regarding Ambrose:

"It is to the credit of the Resistance that we do not take this Mickey Mouse seriously." -Fr. Chazal

FWIW, Father Chazal, you were much harder on ol' Ambrose "moron" than we've been. Relatively, it could be said that CathInfo members are some of his biggest fans.

If you're short on time, the first 19 minutes is a review of Ambrose's videos. There's nothing very surprising there for anyone who has been following the discussions here. Beginning at 19 minutes, he discusses Fr. Pfeiffer's sermon about Ambrose.

I've never met Fr. Chazal but he seems like a good priest.  I like what I've seen in this video so far.  The Fr. Hewko impersonation was funny.

One interesting thing is that Father Chazal won't use anything from CathInfo because Father Pfeiffer is "wary" of anything he might find there.  In other words, Father Pfeiffer has come to tune out CathInfo entirely.  He won't look honestly and objectively at anything here.

Fr. John Ropke is dead.
