“Corapi never should have been ordained a priest, if his background is as depraved as he seems to delight in describing.”
There are other people with “depraved backgrounds” whom the Lord has chosen to use as beacons of hope for sinners (St. Mary Magdalene, for instance).
What about St. Paul?
Mary Magdalene was not ordained in the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Mary Magdalene was not charged with offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in persona Christi.
My point was NOT that Corapi was a sinner before he entered the priesthood, obviously that applies to almost everyone. My point was that there are special, no that’s not specific enough, UNIQUE qualifications one must have to be ordained. That’s why there is a careful process of qualification, a process which Corapi apparently failed many times before getting to “S” on his list of prospective religious orders.
