"If the allegations had been found to be credible, the proper canonical due process would have been offered to Fr. Corapi, including his right to defense, to know his accuser and the complaint lodged, and a fair canonical trial with the right of recourse to the Holy See."

So, Fr Corapi leaves even before there's been a finding that the charges are credible complaining that he doesn't have recourse to the very things he would have recourse to if and when the charges were classified as credible? This is making no sense at all to me now.

If they find it's a credible accusation, a whole process kicks in which sounds like solid due process but for some reason Corapi, in spite of his own admission that he had plenty of legal advice, didn't know this? Very strange to me because he directly stated he wouldn't have those rights that this piece enumerates as being a part of the process if a charge is actually brought. Right?

Someone please explain for me why Fr Corapi was feeling shafted because in light of this it seems like he just didn't want the hassle of dealing with the situation.

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.

It has been reported that the investigation couldn’t proceed due to Fr. Corapi holding non-disclosure agreements from the witnesses, who cannot be interviewed.

The accuser also reportedly signed a non-disclosure agreement concerning anything which went on during her employment at Santa Cruz Media. Father Corapi is now suing the accuser for breach of contract. This sounds more and more like a mess of Father Corapi’s making.

Note that SOLT skirts the issue of WHEN the determination of credibility was set to occur. Fr. Corapi's complaint was that it was not going to happen in any kind of timely manner and he is seriously ill.
