“Father Corapi, a priest of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (SOLT), was removed from public ministry by his order while it investigated allegations of misconduct leveled by one of his former employees.”
And tragic.
His sermons helped me through a very dark time in my life. He’s helped and inspired a lot of people.
Whatever it is he’s going through, I pray for his salvation.
It’s really quite simple. He had a different arrangement than the rest of the members of his Order. They wanted him to abide by the arrangement everyone had. When he refused, rumors were spread about him. He left public ministry altogether after spending a year as the Black Sheep Dog.
Not that I know of. I keep searching in hopes that he’ll create a new one. I wish he would return to public ministry. He’s helped so many people come to Christ and to come home to the Catholic Church.
Fr. Corapi’s sermons are extremely excellent and everyone should watch his videos. They are very instructive in the faith. Whatever happened to him in recent years is irrelevant to the quality of his sermons before that happened. They remain an excellent source to help people grow in their faith. I highly recommend them. I understand that many are on You Tube now.
His sermons got me back into practicing my faith - my reversion began after hearing something he said in one of his sermons - I think it was when he said “we [the Catholic church] don’t wear hair shirts any more - but you may be sitting next to your hair shirt” or something like that I laughed so hard that I’d tune in every day to his talks, which started my return to the faith.
Father Corapi has been reestablished in his order. All the rumors of the past are just that. Some matters are rightly protected to avoid those who feed on the worst speculation they can come up with. It is understood that his good works have and are continuing. It is his decision to remain free of appearances.
