the process could drag on for years, during which Corapi would hang in suspense. It may boil down to a he-said, she-said matter, in which case there could be no real resolution in time for him to resume hois former role. IAC, as Father Neuhaus once pointed out, since Dallas, the bishops have been running scared and have basically told their priests—you are on your own if you get into trouble. A sad start of affairs, whether you be “liberal” or “orthodox.” What a mess. Vatican II was touted as a New Pentecost, but it has turned out to be the most useless council since the one of 1512. That one reformed nothing ; Vatican II tried to reform eveything. Like The meeting of the Estates general in 1789, the Council led to revolution and not, it seems, a fruitful one.

I guess he didn't want to hang around and see how long it would drag on, I see that. I'm just a bit miffed that he didn't wait somewhat longer, I guess. I've just begun my process of reconciling with the Catholic Church but I can see where Vatican II made a real mess of things. It seems to me, and as I say I'm new to looking at things in the Catholic Church, that a lot of bishops and priests who were so inclined used Vatican II as their excuse to become a lot more Protestant and a lot less Catholic. After looking into it, there seems to be a lot that gets attributed to Vatican II that I really can't see being in the documents from that council. It's like people read into it what they wanted it to be in a lot of cases.

Thanks for the response. The fact that Corapi feels hung out to dry is probably a lot of it. From what little I know about his background it seems to me he would expect to have some loyalty from his superiors that he obviously doesn't feel is there.
