Santa Cruz Ministries was still offering a 50 per cent discount on his [the B.S.] CDs, DVDs and books in recognition of the 20th anniversary of his ordination.
50% off Benny. Time to pick up a few more DVDs?

No, HC, I am doubting that you are in a position to verify your quotation, even as you assert it, again, with undoubted confidence.
I don't expect that this will affect your opinion in the slightest. Not even a notorized statement, signed by 3 witnesses, would be enough for a person who has chosen to disconnect with reality and the indisputalbe facts in this case.

So, here we go again this time I'm going to quote from the National Catholic Register

He [Father Sheehan] expressed disappointment that Father Corapi chose not to remain in SOLT and to refuse the order’s invitation for him to live in community, leaving his Montana home. Father Sheehan said he had tried to arrange a meeting with Father Corapi before any final decision was announced, but had not heard back from him. Father Sheehan said that SOLT would issue a statement shortly.

β€œWe wanted him to come back to the community, and that would have meant leaving everything he has. It would have been a drastic change for him,” Father Sheehan said. β€œWe will continue to move pastorally and charitably, taking steps to protect his good name.”

You are indulging in hearsay, and publishing it on the web....you have no evidence at all to present.

You are in denial and are defending the indefensible. Testimony of, in this case an eyewitness (Fr. Sheehan), is extremely strong evidence. This quote from the Superior of SOLT is not hearsay and you are a liar for suggesting it is.

Out of charity, you would simply do best to drop all the bad palaver about somebody you know NOTHING of.

Nonsense. I know very little about the stars in deep space but I feel perfectly able to make informed comments based on my reading of the studies done by individuals who have made sceintific calculations. According to your way of thinking, I should refrain from commenting on the cosmos, on the pope, on Aquinas, on Augustine, and on Corapi because I, Holy Cannoli, have had NO direct contact with these men?

No. I am perfectly able to comment on all these men including the B.S. provided I do not fabricate any facts. Unless you can show that I did, your argument fails. Actually, it is YOU who have denied the clear statement by the Superior of SOLT quoted now in several reputable sources. It is YOU who has no evidence that those quotes are false. Therefore, it is YOU who are engaging in hearsay and possibly worse.

Who is lying to whom?

The answer is that you are lying to yourself and you are attempting to defend an indefesible position.

lashing out as you are now doing persuades nobody.

You will not be persuaded by me or by anyone else. You are in denial and will not accept any information that in any way disturbs your preconceived notions regarding the Black Sheepdog β„’.

You knew he was cancelled from EWTN? Why don't you petition them and tell them that Judging people out of our sight, which would presumably include Fr. Corapi, is a sin.

Greetings gentlemen! πŸ€— Philosopher - the owning of property is not bad in and of itself. However, ones station in life dictates what is allowed, in addition to which the regula by which one lives. If one is a secular priest, ones regula depends upon ones Bishop. The Bishop has the authority to approve or disapporve of a cleric owning something, e.g. a home. On the other hand, if one is a religious priest, i.e. a priest in religious vows (evangelical vows), ones regula is decidedly different, it resides in ones superior, e.g. Abbot, Father General, Prior, etc. In community religious own temporal goods in common, NOT privately. Herein lies the problem.

SBpfu - The whole ugly buisness of judging people, is a tad too strong. Upon the evidence provided one can form an informed oppinion of the case or situation at hand. However, one is not to condemn - this is reserved for Fr Corapi's ultimate superiors, viz. God and the Magesterium on earth.

During that interview, Father Sheehan confirmed that SOLT had β€œbegun to address the issues of members who joined the society before the new constitution. The society is moving to a more organized structural phase of its existence, with all the Church discipline that entails.” The implication of his remarks was that Father Corapi had not accommodated the discipline imposed by the new constitution. [The compound and lifestyle seem to have meant more than his vows, and the promise he made when he put his hands into the hands of Pope John Paul II. Of course, that requires money - money he cannot get if he does not speak, which really clears up why he decided to jump ship after just three months. Based on comments flowing into NC Regsiter's article, he is losing support. My best guess is that he will have only a fraction of the support he enjoyed previously. If he shifts over to political pundrity at his site and in his media, as Bishop Gracida, the bishop emeritus of Corpus Christi, suggested then he may pick some people up. But, consider what he is giving up to pursue that.

Do Catholics really have nothing better to do than to speculate, darkly, about a man we do not know?

Give your sanctimonious attitude a rest, Benny. We post about lots of things on this board including Flamenco dancing chiwauwas . If you don't like one of mine or anyone elses post, don't view them.

Since when is owning a home, a car, a boat, motorcycle, and taking vacations a sin?
Having a woman is not a sin in itself but is unseemly when it involves a priest. So is disobedicence to your superiors. I don't have a superior: the B.S. did.

fame and fortune are lethal to the vocation of anyone called to serve God in such a deep and profound way.
I would expand that to say that fame and fortune can be lethal to anyone of us who call ourselves followers of Jesus Christ (Christians).
You could also add "good looks" to the equation. Trust me, physcial attractiveness is both a blessing and a curse.

The history of the Church is fraught with examples of those who have both failed and succeeded. It is sheer pride to think that one can be better than a saint who renounced all for God. Clearly Fr Corapi thought he could serve both God and mammon! 🀦

He drives a fast car with lots of horsepower and keeps a loaded .45 in the glove compartment. He also rides a fat boy Harley Davidson motorcycle, owns a boat of unspecified size, and vacations in Key West. He works out six times a week, twice with a female physical trainer, and has lost seventy pounds and increased his strength by a hundred percent in the past year.
