Father Corapi is more charitable than I can imagine being. The people he requests prayers for are despicable--the worst abusers of power. As you reflect on the way the bishops throw priests away as though they were garbage, reflect on the fact that hundreds of millions, perhaps a billion of the Church's money has been spent for one purpose and one purpose only: to keep certain bishops out of jail.

That may be true. But the people who accused Padre Pio of all sorts of misdeeds were equally nefarious. Padre Pio, even when suspended for many years, didn't leave the priesthood. He didn't write an autobiography. He didn't create a cheesy nickname for himself. He suffered. He endured. He was exonerated. He's now a saint.

Sorry, but Corapi has actually proven the bishops right and destroyed his life's work by his actions here. We may never know the details but something was seriously wrong with him. Satan rejoices in his downfall.
