Fighting to clear one's name is a positive Christian message. It is in fact the best message he can possibly have. We surely don't know what his sermons will be in the future. The esthetics he chose as well as his biker-priest image from before the scandal are not my preference, but matters of style should not be the subject matter today.
I believe SOLT probably knows more regarding Corapi
Possibly. You, however, are saying that not as an admission of ignorance of the facts -- as I would do -- but rather based on the public statements they already made. That is precisely the reason they made them: to encourage others to sin with them. The statements of SOLT, as Sitetest clearly explained are either detraction or calumny. It is grossly sinful to even listen to them, let alone pile innuendos on the victim.
I agree that we should pray for Fr. Corapi, the only victim I see in this. We should also pray for his tormentors, and for the sorry state of the Church in America. We should, finally, pray that the day when the Holy Inquisition sets a comprehensive review of American bishops' behavior and faithfullness. I do.

That's all I need to know.
