The article cited by Maxirad ignores the strong connection between holiness and orthodoxy that we see in St theresa of Calcutta, among so many others. It’s a question of ensuring our teaching is orthodox, regardless of our private opinions. The article is misleading on that.

Holiness requires orthodoxy in teaching, if we do any teaching. It also requires orthodoxy in practice. I am not sure Fr Corapi was in unity with his religious superior and his ordinary.
 
Whether you liked him or not, what Fr. Corali said in the video was powerful. If people did not know it was him saying it, if they read a transcript of it, they would agree with what he was saying.

Yes, Mother Angelica got into it with a bishop. I don’t remember what it was about, but she is most likely who is being referred to as the little nun with the big mouth. Thank God for her!
 
Bishop of Los Angeles, and it was over irregularities with the Eucharist and Mass.
 
Thankful Mother Angelica did not have to live to see this day.
Just the thought of her knowing makes me :cry:

Over the past few decades I have heard countless people on the Left, Right, center, leaning fundamentalist, charismatic, secularists, orthodox Catholics, and others, say the Church is approaching a severe chastisement, and that priests and bishops are not sinless.

Fr Corapi is one of those thousands.

I have heard no sermons, seen no articles urging complancy, and assurance that bishops and priests are free of sin and poor judgement.
 
I will not comment on something I was not directly involved in. You posting this video does no good. You should be praying for him and all priests.
 
Mother Angelica’s verbal slam dunking is one of the greatest moments on TV I’ve ever seen.
 
This is a much better video without the grainy image that skips past important parts of the message.

 
I heard Fr. Corapi speak many times in person as well as tv and radio.

People forget that he constantly affirmed the authority of the bishops. His teaching was totally guided by the magisterium. He did not go into a diocese without permission of the bishop.

To my knowledge he did not cooperate with ministries not approved by the Church

He was very different from Voris, and
that whole crew.
 
The bible is full of imperfect saints called righteous, Abraham for starters (Hebrews ch. 11). Then there is St. Peter who denied Christ, and St. Paul who was there observing when they stoned the first Christian martyr St. Stephen. As long as they have breath a sinner can achieve righteousness.
 
Yeah, I’m confused. I’m not the expert on Fr. Corapi, but from what I have heard and read, he was a good priest who unfortunately lost his way and fell back into some old bad habits of his own. I didn’t get any sense that he was railroaded.

Also, we didn’t need Fr. Corapi to tell us there were some sinful people among the clergy and hierarchy. It’s a given that all people are sinners, some are serious sinners, and the clergy and hierarchy are not immune. HIstory shows that just as there were a number of saintly priests, bishops etc there were others who were not so saintly. I would expect the same situation today as in the past, as human nature does not change.

There are separate issues here.

First, the allegations of immoral behavior. The personal impact can be removed either by the fact he was innocent all along, or now forgiven.

The second issue is alleged disobedience to his ordinary and his religious superior. This issue could keep him from service as a priest again, even if vindicated on the first issue.
 
We need a thread titled ‘People who are vindicated.’


“I would never make a spot with a homosexual family. Not out of a lack of respect but because I do not see it like they do. (My idea of) family is a classic family where the woman has a fundamental role.” said Mr. Barilla

This apology ripped my heart out.
I suppose only Catholic Italians will hear me out on this…it is a sauce and pasta thing at home.
Here and now we can weep aloud.

I never felt very settled about that secret meeting Pope Francis had with Kim Davis.

I googled this guy and apparently he’s some CEO of some pasta company? (I’ve never heard of him)

What does he have to do with Fr. Corapi, and how was the Pope’s meeting with Kim Davis “secret” given that it was covered in all the media?

Tis_Berself, you probably don’t know about VP Mike Pence, Israel Folau or Anita Bryant and a host of others that have suffered silently in public and also within their worship communities while persecuted for trying to uphold the Word of God and/or protecting others from that sin. The list should include all those good Catholics that have spoken out against the desecration of holy altars, beautiful churches, sacraments and liturgy of the Mass because (don’t be confused) all that is very much part and parcel of this current crisis. Thanks to God for CAF all these years for having this space for a good many Faithful to come and commiserate and draw strength in numbers in prayer. CAF has been a tent for many.

Just saying there is a list of Christians that could be on a thread titled ‘vindicated’ not limited to Catholics but also including Christians…namely Christians that believe acting out homosexual desires is a sin.

Why would you think I “don’t know” about Mike Pence or Anita Bryant? I don’t live under a rock.

Neither one of them have anything to do with Fr. Corapi either. They aren’t even Catholic.

But at least I see where you’re coming from with the anti-gay rhetoric, as usual for this forum. And as usual for this forum, I will refrain from more pointless discussion on it here.

When children are sodomized no one. I repeat. No one is vindicated. Least of all a man who had sexual problems of his own. Corapi is PART of the scandal.
 
I disagree with Hoosier-Daddy. All Catholics have been trodden on almost equally the past 40+ years by various negativities in the Church. How can you say that Fr. Corapi along with many other religious were not recipients of the same negativities, poor formation, liturgical abuses, bullying or non-support.
Based on the video, it was clear that Fr. Corapi was also seeing the short end of the stick just like the rest of us. How it was that he left the priesthood isn’t the topic as much as all those who were in pain watching our Church being taken from us are now vindicated.

Part of healing is having the pain validated. Right now we are all throbbing and in need of healing.

I mentioned Anita Bryant because she is the first Christian that I can recall being upended by MSM. After her, it was like blood in a shark tank.

Anita Bryant, scorned for conservative views, is planned subject of Hollywood biopic

Anita Bryant, a former beauty pageant queen and singer who recorded several Top 40 hits and performed at the Super Bowl before being ostracized for her conservative political views, is set to become the subject of a Hollywood film.
www.foxnews.com www.foxnews.com
The Gay Community News of Boston published an article at the time that declared: “We should not rest until Anita Bryant is utterly destroyed." The article also called for a boycott of Florida orange juice, which was paying Bryant $100,000 as part of an endorsement deal, the Times reported.

Seeing all along… very significant parallels inside and outside the Church. Topic staying with vindication.
