In the past days the story of Father John Corapi’s taking a break from the Catholic priesthood has been circulating. In the meantime, read the current news of Father Corapi, 64, on his blog, The Black Sheep Dog.
Distressing indeed and a situation that requires guidance from the Holy Spirit. So, pray to Saints Padre Pio and John Neumann and John Mary Vianney for their intercession.
Corapi’s account of the situation and the process of investigation for innocence (or guilt) is too problematic. The problem with the case is not with Father Corapi –yet there are questions that persist– but in the process of coming to truth. Or so it seems.
May the Most Trinity, shower grace on us.

I am so sad by all of this:(
It all comes down to pride. We should never be so prideful as to accept whatever accusations leveled at us. Whether they are just or not is not the point. The repurcussions from other people’s perceptions can give us a chance at penance which is directly from God…
Praying for everyone involved. So so sad at this time:(
