I agree with what you said. As for one of the other posters, I agree with mostly with what he said too. However, I don’t think we could find fault with his (Fr. Corapi’s) opinion because he doesn’t teach opinions - only facts. I think that’s where some people go wrong. They don’t know their catechism and think Fr. is preaching what “he” thinks, and not what “is” fact. That’s what I like about Fr. Corapi - obedient to the letter of the Magisterium!
You are Correct!JimmyB & Johnny:
Glad someone agrees with me (and a few others of us out there). I don’t get it - what’s so hard to understand about Fr. Corapi??? The issue isn’t really Father, himself, but the teachings of our faith! Am I right or not?
Anyway, I just wish that we had more priests that wouldn’t hold back for fear of offending someone. We can never have too much truth. Especially when it relates to salvation. Preach on, Father!you’re right. it’s difficult to fathom that people actually have such issues with him. to label someone in error, spreading lies, just because you don’t like the underlying message is really sad. but in talking the catholic church with someone else, they honestly said that it is really hard for them to follow the rules, commandments, of the church. to me, that is more honest to fess up that you can’t find the narrow gate, than to criticize someone who is trying to show you the way thru the gate.JimmyB & Johnny:

Dunno 'bout you, but my week doesn’t seem complete without Fadda John yelling at me.

Yep…good one…Dunno 'bout you, but my week doesn’t seem complete without Fadda John yelling at me.
(because there are times when I AM stupid!
)Only a Catholic who is not completely following all the teachings of the Church might think what you are thinking.
No. I would call it more along the lines of “proclaiming Jesus Christ will all BOLDNESS!” That is what the disciples did after the Holy Spirit came down on them. There is a prayer that is prayed after every Mass on EWTN. In the prayer we ask for God to send laborers to the harvest so they can preach the Gospel with all boldness. Well, we have Father Corapi! He preaches Jesus Christ with all boldness and that’s what we need.
So I guess you are not the most faithful Catholic? You said you turn the channel when you see him, I would call that being alienated. Only thing is, you alienate yourself when you change the channel. There is a reason for that. You need to examine why that is. I think you need to examine your concious. I don’t think Father Corapi has ever expressed unfair judgments on anyone.
Fr. Corapi’s message is never wrong. He might not use the best approach at times but his message is never wrong. You and Roy don’t like his approach and some of what he has to say about the Catholic faith and how some Catholics don’t live out their faith like they should. All he wants to preach is the Truth. And in Father’s famous words, the Truth is not something, it’s someBODY, the Truth is Jesus Christ. He is not wrong about Jesus Christ.
You’re right. He does ask us to pray for him. And he tells us that he prays for us. I like that he places us in the Immaculate Heart of Mary; this way he can’t forget to pray for us, instead he leaves it up to Mary to remember all of us.
