As I noted in another related thread, I am Presbyterian, but I really like Fr. Corapi, and listen to him when I can. I truly hope this is proven to be a bogus charge.
I heard him tell his story about speeding from LA to Vegas in his Ferrari with a well-known actress in the car and cocaine in the trunk. He is a gifted speaker and it would be tragic to lose his witness. I was just uninformed on the poverty vow issue.
Thank you for your charity towards Father Corapi.
Sometimes in pulling up the thistles you damage the grass, or something like that. I, too, hope Father Corapi is exonerated fully and this is a bogus charge. For some reason, I believe he will be, though EWTN has known shock and disappointment before. Until this is settled, we may not get to see his program on EWTN. I noticed his hour was used or replaced with a Lenten program the last couple of days, so I was wondering if it was the Season or a temporary change until all shakes out.
