Maybe it was already said but Fr. Corapi is back and is active as a priest.
 
How did you find that out? I still can find no current news on him…
 
A lot of the stuff about him on the internet is old. And unreliable. And rumors and gossip. No facts. Just “he said” “she said” stuff.

I’m going to pray more often for him. He helped a lot of people.

I bet some Catholics here don’t know this.

My protestant husband came to the faith by listening to Fr. Corapi and Bishop Sheen on the radio. Thank you, Lormar for sharing that channel.
 
I would love it SO SO SO much if he came back. Apparently he came to my city to give a conference when I was a baby. I would love to see him in person.

What happened with him towards the end was really, really weird. It kind of freaks me out.
 
I remembered him a couple months ago and started researching about his case, if what happened was really true, then he should just stay out of media and everything for his own sake, but I do miss seeing his preaching on EWTN … We seen him in person a long time ago he was very powerful. Its sad and dissapointing what happened with him, I hope he’s in a good place right now with his relationship with God
 
Fr. Corapi had many enemies who were only too willing to throw him under the bus at the first opportunity.

We still don’t know the truth or what really happened. Hearsay isn’t truth.

Don’t judge him until the facts come out. One day they will. In the meantime, we can pray for him, and take heed ourselves lest we fall too. It can happen to anyone at anytime. The saints knew they weren’t safe from sinning until they breathed their final breath.
 
Love Fr Corapi. So glad I got his appearances on Mother Angelica’s and Fr Mitch’s shows. They aren’t available through the network anymore.
 
It’s about humility and obedience for each one of us, not just priests and religious.
 
Pray for Father in a special way tomorrow at Mass. I just watched a video from June 17, 2011. He said it was the 20th anniversary of his ordination.

So tomorrow is June 17th. That would make it the 27th anniversary of his ordination. Remember him at Mass and Holy Communion. If you can, offer your Mass and Holy Communion for him.

We all need prayers, but priests especially need prayers.
 
His fall should by no means discredit his powerful message. It was sad to see him of all people succumb to occult forces, but we must remember that we can, and must, pick up where he left off and press on.

This YIM Catholic article from back in 2011 should be helpful:
So, let’s assume the Skipper (Marine slang for Captains/Company Commanders) won’t be back, OK? But we’re still at war. So here is a little list of things to do to fill your time while Fr. John is on hiatus.
  1. Read Your Bible for an Hour a Week. What, you don’t have a Bible? What kind of soldier are you? Besides, the battlefield is littered with them. I may not be a heavy user of Catholic Media (and TV…no time!), but the USSCB website has the Bible available 24/7. No excuses for not heading to the rifle range. I bet your parish has a bible study class available too. Sign up for it ASAP.
  2. Pray the Liturgy of the Hours. This is like #1 above, but with spiritual direction provided by the Church. The readings and psalms are all laid out for you. It is a great way to spend your time, any time of the day. Available 24/7 at Universalis.
  3. Meet the Doctors of the Church Where do you think Fr. John learned to shoot like he does? He’s standing on the shoulders of giants, and so can you. Head to the library and read some of the sermons of St. Athansius, St. Augustine, St. John Chrysostom, and others. You’ll be amazed at the stuff they wrote, and the skills you’ll pick up.
  4. Read The Spiritual Combat by Dom. Lorenzo Scupoli. Want action? Want a riveting read on tactics and strategies for living through this fight called Christian life? You’ve come to the right place with this book. This will get you started on Chapter One.
  5. Pray for our priests and for vocations. We have deaths, retirements, and casualties. And the troops always need leaders. Pray for us soldiers for Christ and pray for our officer corps. If Adoration is available at your parish, that is a great place to pray. But anywhere will do, if you just make the time.
  6. Go to Confession. A great way to kill an hour, at least for this week. Only you and God know the state of your own soul, so go take care of business.
  7. Go to Daily Mass. This is a great way to spend a half-hour everyday, if you can swing it. You will be surprised at how easy it is to form this habit.
  8. Get to know your own parish priest(s) better. This sort of takes care of itself as a result of #6 and #7 above. You know their names, but do they know yours? Why not?!
  9. Get Involved in Your Parish. Here is an idea: become a lector, or an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. Or join the choir, a committee, or help out at the next parish function. Don’t hide your light under a bushel. Help pull some of the load in your parish.
  10. Pray the Rosary with your family. Pope John Paul II said, "How beautiful is the family that recites the Rosary every evening.” Hard to do in my family, I’ll admit, but it’s not impossible to do at least once a week. You can even pray along with Mother Angelica and the gang over at EWTN (9:30 PM Eastern).

And here’s his “Spiritual 911” for those who need emergency spiritual assistance:

"If you find yourself in dire need of help from God, pray the following prayers with as much trust as you can muster. This trust, or childlike confidence, is of extreme importance. In a sense, the more you trust God, the more you permit Him to help you:

9 Memoraries

1 Rosary

1 Chaplet of Divine Mercy"

How did he “succumb to occult forces?”

Fr Corapi’s videos are still available on YouTube. And many have purchased his books, CDs, videos and DVDs though his website and other sources. Unless all resources are taken away, we can still read, listen to and watch the man himself.
