Thank you for your response, it explained a lot. I agree that he shouldn’t have lived alone with his past. Also, if it is true that another SOLT priest was allowed to live alone and was accused of abuse, then I see this policy as a problem.
AFA, not originally having a vow of poverty, that shocked me. Poverty, Chastity and Obedience are the trinity of vows, to not require poverty, can only lead to problems and isn’t different than not requiring chastity or obedience.
Well, diocesan priests don't take vows of poverty. OTOH, they have a full-time job (usually more of an "all of your time" job) which doesn't pay very much. And if they tried to do a second job on the side that interfered with their pastoral work, the bishop would probably hear about it. But they can keep money they inherit, for example.
A person can have a lot of money and still live the evangelical counsel of poverty. We had a priest in our diocese who inherited a lot of money. AFAIK, he lived a lifestyle just as humble as any other priest. After his death, the diocesan high school suddenly had some nice new facilities with his name on them.
Corapi could have lived evangelical poverty too, without a formal vow. But he didn't.
