As it happened, a week ago or so, I was sitting in the well-upholstered and elegant library of St Jean Baptiste Church in Manhattan, in the Upper East Side, with Fr Carlos Martins. I was able to ask him about the difficulties the last eight months had posed since he had to pause his ministry after having had what proved, as expected, to be unfounded accusations
I was in New York to plan a dramatic and rather exciting programme called Reclaiming Christendom that he and I, with one or two other colleagues, are planning to put together for launching later this year. But like everything else, it has had to be paused until the false charges were dropped and he was restored to his ministry.
