I went to a convention of his in Newark this past winter and he kind of warned us that this was on it's way.

At the very end of the talk, he talked about a person trying to shake him down for cash and that they were threatening to reveal that he was doing drugs again and that he was having all kinds of illicit sex with women and that he had mistresses all over the place, etc. The attorney's of the accuser went to the Bishop and offered to keep quiet for a “sum”. When the Bishop called Father Corapi in to talk about it, he asked Father Corapi how much he was going to pay to make these people go away. Father Corapi said that his answer was “I will cut their privates off!”. So the answer was no on his part.

Now I don't know if this woman accusing him is the same person that he has been being threatened by, but I have to think that it probably is. I think that by talking about it at the convention, he was trying to brace us all for the storm ahead. He adamantly denied doing anything at all! I tend to take his word for it.

Father Corapi is not a stupid man. He wouldn't be dumb enough to deny something that he knows that the accuser can prove. If you cannot prove your claim(a claim like this would have to have had some evidence proving it) than you are a liar and a swindler. If there were any evidence at all, we would see it all over the place! This woman is trying to “destroy” him like she said. She knows that in this day and age, all you need to destroy a priests reputation is your mouth! Even if this is proven to be false(I believe it will), his reputation will still be tarnished.

That is why it is so rotten of that Bishop for suspending him without even substantiating the claim!
