I can honestly say I have not done drugs, been to prison, been on high speed car chases with cops, dealt drugs, been with prostitutes like Father Corapi. Neither have most Catholics in my parish.
We deserve better.
Good thing God does not put a value rating on our sins. Once the are forgiven, they are gone. Corapi need not be held to a higher standard by a human than he is by God.
When you meet people do you emphasized the Bad or the Good. I know my sins are not the first thing I tell every body at Church. So how would they know. HELLO!!!
He keeps it real. He was into the truth when he remarked these quotes! Thats why he has a good reputation for now anyway. I could be wrong. I will pray for all involved.

The man who killed St. Peter of Verona, OP,later became a cooperator brother (lay member of the first order) and is venerated for his holiness after his repentance and holiness of life.

But what God does with those he saves - - - we don’t deserve something that good.
