Never underestimate the power of prayer! I know many of you have been praying for Fr. Corapi. Please continue those prayers. May the new year bring us better news regarding Fr. Corapi.

i am sorry, but Corapi has been a phony masquerading as a priest all along. his god is the almighty dollar.
i pray he becomes a Christian.

[Heart-Rest]

Fr. Corapi had/has a public speaking and teaching ability (gift) that very few people possess. I learned a lot from his EWTN Catechism series, and some of the other series he did there.

We know that even a righteous man stumbles seven times a day, so I know for sure that I ain't going to be casting any stones at him. I think I'll just let God handle all the judging for everybody.

I also know certain addictions and related problems can be extremely difficult for some people to overcome in the first place, and just as difficult at times to maintain and remain in that clean/pure state where the problem never returns.

I have no idea what's going on with Fr. Corapi right now, but I think you have the best advice -- keep praying for him -- and I intend to keep doing that too. I too hope he is in the process of reconciling with his SOLT order, and that maybe his rare gifts can once again be used in some way for the glory of God.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Fr. Corapi was ordained as a Priest by John Paul the Great. Prayers for his intercession may be a good idea.

(By the way NYer, if it's not too much trouble right now, could you please add me to your Catholic Ping list? Thanks!)

Pride is such an insidious sin.

I will keep him in my prayers.

I heard Father Corapi preach in person about five or six years ago at a church in my area and he was the real thing. It was the best orthodox homily I had ever heard.

I never did follow his career after that and I don’t watch EWTN so I can’t chime on in on what happened, I do think at that time he was for real, and I have a very discerning radar for frauds.
