I am only just now catching up to the story on Fr. Corapi’s health. Has he had the surgery? If so, how did it go?
I met Father in the mid 1990’s or so at St Anthony’s Monastery in Kennebunkport, Maine, of all places, where he one day showed up as a visiting priest and said Mass in a very reverent way that reminded me of the Opus Dei priests I had seen celebrate. He did not look like an Opus Dei man, so after Mass I went up to him and asked him whether he had learned to celebrate Mass that way at the University of Navarre, and he said yes. We had a nice chat after that opener. I am praying for him.
I believe he underwent surgery during the week of the pope's visit. He must be doing well because Fr. Mitch Pacwa has already booked him as a guest for his Mary 14 EWTN Live program.
