  • Sorry, I can't figure out how to make this picture smaller.
    Note the comment below the blog post speaking about how much evidence he had to support his claims.

  • Definitely the same fellow "prince Alexis" of Ambrose's picture. The long article referenced by Mater is very revealing. All charlatans.

  • Meaning this article http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~dubar/x/uses-anjou.htm starting at

    The press and the public eventually lost interest in the claims of the two branches of the Anjou-Durassow until 1982 when it surfaced again following the publication in Paris of a book entitled "I, Alexis, Great Grandson of the Tsar" by "H.R.H. Prince Alexis d'Anjou Romanov-Dolgorouki, Duke of Durazzo".


    Some interesting tidbits about this friend of Ambrose:

    - In 1969, by means of a passport he obtained from the artificial island of "Sealand", Alexis metamorphosized into the "Prince Romanov Dolgorouki". This island had been built by the Royal Navy during the second World War and was located off the southern coast of England. It had been used in connection with the Normandy landings in 1944 and after the war, the Navy decided to get rid of it. A wealthy English gentleman, Mr.Danyl Stevens (Note 21) who had long had a dream to rule over his own country bought the island. Subsequently, he sold nobiliary titles to enterprising individuals each of which came with a passport from the "Principality of Sealand". It was thus that on 4 June 1969 Alexis obtained passport No.6949 in the name of "His Highness Prince Alexis Romanov Dolgorouki". Oddly the passport showed neither his place of birth nor the identity of his royal parents. Apparently this was of no importance in the "Principality of Sealand".

    - He spoke French, English, Italian and Spanish but curiously no Russian. It was this lack of what should have been his native tongue which three months later aroused the suspicions of Father Jean Maljinowski, a priest at the avenue Dupré Russian Orthodox Church in Brussels. On 7 September 1969, Alexis called upon Father Jean and asked to be baptized. The priest was nonplused. How, he asked himself, could a Russian prince of royal blood have waited until he was twenty three years of age to be baptized? Further, he did not speak one word of the language of his illustrious martyred ancestors. The priest, who had never heard of the island of Sealand, refused to administer the sacrament. Mr. Nicolas Zouboff and his daughter who were visiting Father Jean, witnessed the exchange. The "prince" was furious. He apparently needed to obtain a baptismal certificate in Russian, but the priest was adamant. As he stormily took his leave, Alexis angrily told him: "You'll see, you'll soon know who I am!"

    - Another exhibit presented by the prosecutor as evidence was an amateurishly fabricated patent of nobility, allegedly issued by Emperor Charles V, dated 1546 which ennobled the Brimeyers. A further exhibit was a decree supposedly signed by Tsar Alexander II dated 5 February 1860 conferring nobility and the title of "imperial highness" to a Dolgorouki family. The use of the word "automatically" in the docuмent proved it to be indisputably false as that word was not in use in the Russian language in 1860. It would be too long to cite all of the docuмents used by the prosecution. In any event, Alexis Brimeyer was sentenced to eighteen months in jail, but he had, by then, put some distance between himself and the Belgian authorities and had taken himself to Greece.

    - In a letter he wrote to the Belgian prosecutor from Athens, which he signed: "Imperator Rex", he complained bitterly about the unfairness of his sentence and informed him haughtily that he was a direct descendant of among other former reigning monarchs, the emperors of Byzantium, which might lead one to suspect that in addition to any other tendencies Alexis suffered from an imperial case of megalomania.

    - One of his most notable successes was to convince the Metropolitan of the Carpatho-Ukrainian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church in America, Archbishop Ambrosij, of his authenticity as a Romanov and a Dolgorouki. This was to be extremely helpful to him in establishing solid contacts in the Ukrainian diaspora. Some have said that until recently he has received a monthly living allowance from these Ukrainian circles, but we have no way of verifying this.

  • It looks certain that Fr Bill Moran from CITI and Ambrose Moran are not the same fella.

    It also is clear from what is posted on the ambrose website that his real name is William.  

    To the Ambrose webmaster:

    Please post the following

    -scan of his current drivers license
    -scan of his birth certificate
    -obituaries of both parents
    -transcripts from Columbia University
    -explanation why he uses the alias "Ambrose"
    -evidence that his mother or father belongs to the Serbian royal family (which still exists)
    -explanation why Ambrose attaches the title "Dolgulruky" to himself which is not a Ukrainian or Serbian name
    -docuмentation of membership in the Serbian royal family
    -why is the official religion of the Serbian royals Orthodox yet Ambrose claims his Serbian aunts were Catholic?

  • Quote from: Colombiere
    I do think the picture of the Bishop and Cardinal Slepyj looks odd. But I don't think the Bishop's beard is longer on one side, that looks like his hair. The staff seems out of line. The Cardinal might be in a ray of sunlight while Ambrose is in a shadow. It's odd the Cardinal looks like he's in motion and the Bishop is so still.


    Um...look at the full version, and zoom in on the left beard. When you zoom in, you can see how artificial it is. It's less convincing than my "Pablo" version of the same picture.

    Look at his sideburns. He doesn't have any on the right side, but has nice dark ones on the left side. The whole thing is fake.

  • Isn't it odd that he doesn't have multiple pictures of something as important as  a "post-consecration photo" with Cardinal Slipyj? (Nevermind the fact they didn't "do over" the picture when the Cardinal was looking down, nor did they bother to have him face forward. He was clearly leaving St. Sophia in that picture!)

    That's the strangest "post ceremony" picture I've ever seen.

    But how many of us have taken pictures of an event? Don't you usually have more than one copy of each pose? Pictures are only rare and hard to come by when you have to spend hours Photoshopping each one... For a charletan, one photo is more than enough!

    Also, this Ambrose Moran seems to have gone ALL OVER the place. Didn't he stay anywhere longer than a few weeks? Was he like "Abdul the Butcher", packing up his tent, loading up his camels, and moving on -- a classic "fly by night"?

    Why doesn't he have Confirmations 1989, Confirmations 1991, Confirmations 1993 at the same place?

    Also, I noticed he's basically in very small groups, not unlike our own Traditional movement. Nice vestments, pomp, grandeur -- for 20 people. But we also know that small, marginal groups are more likely to be desperate for a bishop, and won't have the resources to look into his story. Just like today!

    If only the people in those photos could talk --

    See, once he has photos, it adds to his apparent "credibility as a priest/bishop", even though it actually doesn't. It shows him acting like a priest or bishop A LOT for various people over the years. But how about giving me the names/addresses of some of the people pictured? How about some REAL docuмentation, not just evidence that select small groups of people have considered you a priest -- for a short period of time -- at various points in the past (which is all these photos prove).

  • Matthew - there is another post consecration photo.  He shows it in the upper left hand corner during the hewko video interview.  However, it is really too blurry to make much use of the physical features.  But, look at that lighting that lines the front of the ambrose when sitting.  What is that, and how could that naturally occur?  Where is that light coming from?  Is that a smoking gun?  It looks like he is on fire.

  • Yes, it's so blurry as to be useless. That could be Pee-Wee Herman sitting there, for all we know.

    Blurry pictures are the last refuge of a con man.

    Recently, in Ukraine, we had countless cases over the past few years where the US-controlled/puppet government accused Russia of invading Ukraine.

    (Word to the wise: if Russia invaded, you'd know it. Look at Syria! The US forces have been totally denied entry by a mysteriously powerful radar, and Russia's forces are all over the place. They have some pretty powerful weapons being shown off. They're annihilating the United States' proxy army, the Islamic State/ISIS. THAT'S what a Russian invasion looks like.)

    What did they show for evidence? Blurry, zoomed-out, so-called "satellite images" which looked like a throwback to 1960's technology. Black and white, hard to make out anything. Google Earth does better than that! We know the United States Department of Defense has much better satellites.

    Blurry pictures are used when you have no evidence, but you want to make it LOOK like you do.

    Is it only me, or do others, perhaps, question why a topic like this should get over 20,000 views.  I realize that many of these are repeated hits by the same individuals.  But really, how can the identity of a man brought in for an interview by Frs. Pfeiffer and Hewko, command so much attention?  What are people trying to prove? Cui bono? :confused1:


    I don't question it at all.

    Cui bono? Um...the good of the Traditional world? It isn't rocket science.

    If we can find concrete proof that Ambrose Moran is a fraud, then Fr. Pfeiffer will be forced to drop him like a bad habit. Countless evils will be averted.

    What evils?

    Let's see...

    * Consecration of Fr. Pfeiffer by this fake bishop, and all the evils that will flow from that
    * Ordination of seminarian(s) by this fake bishop, with all the simulated/doubtful sacraments that will come from that.
    * This priest/layman continuing to say Mass at Pfeiffer-affiliated Mass centers, with all the false confessions/simulated sacraments that come from that

    And you see no reason to expose this fraud?

    You think Boston, KY is a mess now. That's nothing compared to where we'll be when we have doubtful "resistance" priests running around, ordained by this possibly fake bishop (or ordained by Fr. Pfeiffer, after he's consecrated by this bishop).

    The seminary is already dysfunctional. Most people can see that. But at least no major harm has been done, except maybe the permanent destruction of a few precious vocations. But the damage at least ends there.

    And while serious Catholics should red-light the seminary for its grave problems, the Mass centers are another story (except for Colorado, where a doubtful priest/bishop is saying Mass). Right now, if you go to a SSPX-MC (Fr. Pfeiffer affiliated) Mass center, you're going to get a valid Mass by a valid priest (Fr. Pfeiffer, Fr. Hewko). Once the floodgates are opened by this con man bishop, you'll never know if one of those invalid priests will be saying your Mass. Many people will stop going to ALL Fr. Pfeiffer's Mass centers just to be safe, and that will be a sizable blow to the US Resistance (unfortunately, at this point many people must still rely on this group).

    Because he's already administering sacraments at the established Resistance mass locations in the US (New Mexico and Colorado).  Post Falls isn't too far from there.

    The above two points are interesting.  Ambrose calls himself Moran-Dolgorouky.  That seems highly suspicious that his name is the same as this known imposter.  And Ambrose proudly posts a picture of the imposter on his website.  And then the second point is equally disturbing.  Is Ambrosij another alias for Ambrose?  This thing is really getting weird.  Maybe Ambrose is the janitor after all?

  • clemens maria - really, is that "prince" he is pictured with the "roman dolgorouki" from the article?  If that is the case, then maybe ambrose is the ambrosij from the article?  This needs to be read into much further.  

    Hollingsworth - I think this the second time you have tried to muzzle and belittle this investigation.  But, it is simple.  Fr. pfieffer and pablo are a force to be reckoned with.  And, there will be many casualties if we do not expose and crush this.

  • This is a good time to bring up another point:

    The smarter you are, the better your imagination, the easier you fall prey to compulsive liars, con-men, etc.

    Fr. Pfeiffer is an intelligent and gifted man.

    I've seen it many times, not just online but offline as well. The reason is simple: you use your formidable and powerful imagination to find "explanations" for the various gaps, inconsistencies, and even contradictions you witness. Reading Colombiere's "charitable spontaneous biography" of Ambrose brought this to my mind.

    In many cases, the smart person being duped comes up with better explanations than the con-man/liar! Or certain pathetic explanations are replaced with better ones because "after all, it's not like he's a con-man, so my explanation, which makes more sense, must be it." You might not say that, but it's deep down. You just find yourself giving others the better explanations -- the ones that you managed to fool yourself with!

    And above all, not too much thought is given to the person's stories, a topic which you prefer to avoid because it makes you uncomfortable; you generally would rather not go there. Why? Because you don't want to face your worst fears: usually these con-men and compulsive liars give you something you're not likely to get elsewhere, or you DON'T THINK you're likely to get elsewhere (wealth/success, a romantic relationship, friendship...or episcopal consecration)

  • Hollingsworth, I'm re-posting this for YOUR BENEFIT.

    http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php/Ambrose-Moran-saying-Mass-for-Pfeiffer-Faithful

    Now read it, or stay out of the thread. I don't have time for stragglers, or the willfully-ignorant.

    He has said Mass in Colorado at least twice. There is no RATIONAL reason any of us can cling to, to believe that this will stop anytime soon. What makes you think this isn't going to continue? Blind hope?

    The priests of Boston, KY are telling different stories as to the status of the "investigation". But actions speak louder than words. We already know about the public Mass he said for them on Day One. And now, at least one group of SSPX-MC "faithful" is attending the Masses of this doubtful bishop, and already drinking the kool-aid, defending it, etc.

    This is a taste of things to come if we can't expose this fraud with conclusive proof, and soon.
