“Fr. Corapi Has Lost It”

“I am not in any way unsympathetic to falsely accused priests or priests who feel that there need to be more stringent safeguards against false accusations. In fact, if Fr. Corapi were innocent (as he may be) then he could have chosen to make himself a test case to get better safeguards enacted.

But Fr. Corapi—or “the Black SheepDog”—or whatever he wants to be called—chose not to stand firm in the face of what he claimed were false allegations.

Instead, he chose to defy authority and strike off on his own as a “sheep dog” protecting the flock whose leaders he is defying.

Unless something very improbable happens, he has thus abandoned his priesthood in a way that will from here on out prevent him from serving as a Catholic priest.”

Just when was faced with adversity or test, in instead of relying upon God for strength, he abandons his vows in just 3 short months after 20 years in the priesthood? Something mighty fishy there.

His creepy video says it all; there's no mention of the Blessed Mother.

“something mighty fishy here”

ya think??

are we all supposed to suspend common sense, because the man is a Catholic priest?

he is high profile enough that it would be impossible for the Church to suspend him indefinitely without real solid proof.

his actions speak as though coming from someone who knows the real truth of what happened and he’s decided to get out of Dodge.

sometimes 2 plus 2 equals 4.

I really respect what Jimmy Akin thinks/says (listen to him quite a bit on the Catholic Answers Live podcast)....so....I guess I have to weigh what I know has happened (thus far) with John Corapi versus what Jimmy/John have both said. Both have their merits....
