He seems deeply wounded by his own perceptions of the past. <br /><br />In working with hundreds of men and women in the past 30 years in the areas of mental health and chemical dependency, his statement sounds very similar to what I have heard from other who are struggling with addictions or blows to their personalities.<br /><br />I fear him, or what he could do now, to cause division in the Church.<br /><br />I really hope he refrains from continuing to call himself, "The Black Sheep Dog." It is ominous.Deacon Bobhttp://bob.yerhot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-45892119325904258612011-06-18T00:01:42.243-06:002011-06-18T00:01:42.243-06:00News of theses sad events has only just reached me...News of theses sad events has only just reached me this side of the pond. Without wishing to rush to any sort of judgement it would seem to me that now is the time for prayer and quiet meditation rather than a full on media campaign. A priest friend of mine had some accusations made against him; he accepted what happened to him and after several months he was fully vindicated although I know he suffered greatly at the time. Ultimately good will triumph; if we do not believe that then we do not have true faith. I guess sometimes we all wish that God did not move in mysterious ways; one day we will understand him, in the meantime we keep praying.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14234034111126169326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-18956694218244411412011-06-17T21:45:59.119-06:002011-06-17T21:45:59.119-06:00One of the things I just posted on my own blog:

This couldn't have happened over night. So, it would seem to me that, instead of working with ecclesiastical authorities to deal with the accusations against him, he's been working with his company to develop this new marketing line! I'm not a cynical person by nature, but I have to wonder. . . ."<br /><br />Need to pray for his many followers who are so devastated right now because they fell into the trap of a "personality cult" about this guy.<br /><br />God bless,<br /><br />Deacon BillDeacon William T.

My guess is that Corapi is trying to pre-empt the results of the investigation underway since March, which I suppose would have resulted in serious disipline, perhaps even forced laicization, or at least not being able to exercise any public ministry as a priest.Dcn Scott Dodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09994604395739905637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-46205499252550291732011-06-17T20:53:51.635-06:002011-06-17T20:53:51.635-06:00Also: Does the priest understand the bishops - and...Also: Does the priest understand the bishops - and the church as a whole - work under the power of the Holy Spirit?Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16021781602272064901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-66270055949264710352011-06-17T20:53:10.537-06:002011-06-17T20:53:10.537-06:00Frankly, the opening picture of the video looks li...Frankly, the opening picture of the video looks like a wolf targeting the sheep.
