Check if there is a .lock file in the catalog folder and delete it before starting Lightroom. I'm only guessing from my schoolboy French.

Google translation of the error message: "The Lightroom catalog cannot be used because the parent folder "/Volumes/LACIE SETUP/My passport external hard drive/LR.organization/CR-LRCatalog" does not allow creating files. Modify the access rights to the folder before continuing or choose another catalog."
First, go to the Mac System Preferences and make sure Lightroom Classic has access to all the categories of folders, as shown below:
Next, in Finder, right-click the volume LACIE SETUP and do Get Info. What is shown for Format?
Is it NTFS or something else?
