A good Catholic (respected!) writer friend of ours (on the Net) said in regard to calumnies and fraudulent priests, you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Read what Fr. Jenkins has to say in this regard. Corapi was not forced away from SOLT. He has been disobedient to them and has so far refused to go back.

If you don't want to believe Fr. Joe (he lists SOLT's statement points as well), that's your own business of course. Anyway, here's the link: http://bloggerpriest.wordpress.com/2011/07/05/solt-press-release-on-father-corapi/

Corapi was not forced away from SOLT

His choices were as he himself described them: to be put indefinitely on ice or to leave SOLT and fight in civil courts. He chose the latter. With that his debt of obedience to SOLT ceased. Of course SOLT did not force him out, they decided to put him out of circulation. When he instead resigned, they slandered him.

Observe too that the hounding of Fr. Corapi that is taking place on the Net is never about disobedience to SOLT. It is rather to spread innuendos about his character - sex, drugs and darkly hinted at "liturgical practices" -- which innuendos SOLT provided. It is when a slanderer is confronted directly on his slander that he or she pulls out the vaguely defined "disobedience". But there is no disobedience. Disobedience would be to stay in the order and not do what the superior tells him. There is a fight for the truth in the course of which Fr. Corapi left the order that betrayed him.

Which part of Fr. Jenkin's blog do you ask me to comment on?
