He does not claim that they are lies, but they are "unproven allegations." Serious word-smithing there.
Corapi also talks about his ‘fan-base’ on his website. What type of priest centralizes adoration upon himself versus God?
I have seen Him speak, My thought’s afterwards , “bomb thrower” story’s with just too many strange twists that could never be “unproven” but I was to say the least suspicious.
The wordsmithing is by the author of the article - in both the video, which I don't find 'creepy', and in his own written statement (the video is just a reading of it), he says that he can't be proven guilty of the charges because they are false.
I still can't find any mention of whether he's asked for laicization, so 'leaving the priesthood' is also wordsmithing. I'm going to try to remember this very crafty author's name for the future.
He seems to be suspended, but not silenced-under-obedience, except in that specific matter.
John Corapi does have a “thin skin” about certain things. Too bad he didn’t opt to be obedient to the bishop and wait for things to play out....there’s MANY saints in the Catholic church who did just that in their lives — they suffered for the truth. Perhaps John Corapi will have a change of heart....I pray he does....
