I happen to be a fan of his and I don't appreciate your insinuation that I am a half wit.

I don't particularly care what his motivation is for speaking, however I have always liked what he had to say. At least you are willing to admit that he speaks the truth.

He preached well, and it was definitely above a sixth grade level. He inspired many Catholics to become stronger in their faith. He has also brought many people into and back to the faith.

If you are a Catholic, why don't you try being a little bit more charitable. If you don't care for him that is your right and your choice. I also have a right to like him without being insulted for it.

How do you know what he does with all of that money? I don't know, and you cannot honestly say that you do. He may do a lot of charitable things with it that he does not advertise. He was also employing a lot of people with it as well. Now all of those people will most likely be out of a job.

If there was anything that he said and preached that you don't like I would like to hear what it was. Otherwise spare me the character assassination.

Kicking a person while they are down is not a particularly “Christian” and not a particularly charitable thing to do.

The whole matter has been completely disedifying.

I'll put it this way: assuming that Mr. Corapi is entirely innocent and has been falsely accused, what examples were there for him to follow?

John of the Cross and Lorenzo Scupoli (author of The Spiritual Combat) were priests falsely accused and were subjected to slow canonical processes and years of suspicion and marginalization. To this day, questions linger about Scupoli and have been the main impediment to his canonization.

Mr. Corapi has declined to follow their example, and the faithful will naturally find his decision troubling. They have to ask themselves a question: is it spiritually safe to continue patronizing Mr. Corapi, or would avoiding him be better? At this point, they have to wish him well, but walk away.
