I am far from sure that he has made the right decision. Even if he has been falsely accused, his decision seems questionable to me. I pray that God will guide him in the right way, whatever that might be.

I 2nd that statement and those of the other posters. Fr. Corapi preached on the warfare against satan. When put to the test, however, he himself folds like a cheap tent.

Some of you may recall another priest who preached authentic catholic teachings, through his homilies. In 2006, Archbishop Flynn silenced him - Faithful Priest Silenced by Archbishop Flynn for Criticism of Virtus Program. There was an immediate uproar in the blogosphere but Fr. Altier obeyed his bishop. Five years later, he is still remembered and included in many of our prayers.

Fr. Corapi, I expect, will end up like Fr. Francis Mary Stone. After doffing his collar, he will go into the business of preaching as a lay person. As of now, we have no additional information on the nature of that venture. Only time will tell.

Fr. John Corapi is on my daily prayer list and will remain there. Only God can judge his actions.

Where did he "fold"? We found a way to fight on when the original fight was blocked.

Fr. Altier obeyed his bishop.

Where did Fr. Corapi disobeyed his bishop? Did the bishop tell him "Sit home and wear a collar"?
