Retraction

Regarding my former support of Fr. Corapi, after the official and shocking press release by his religious order SOLT, I so sadly withdraw my favorable opinion. I'm am really too stunned to comment as I'm sure many of you are, except to say, "Lord, have mercy."

This is so disheartening

I'm with you both. I don't know exactly what's accurate, and what's not, in the details of all this (though the core points seem beyond reasonable dispute, now)... but we need, more than ever, to pray for him, and to hold each other up in prayer, that we may not "despair, nor become despondent, but rather submit ourselves to [His] Holy Will, which is love and mercy Itself." I'm sure we're not the only ones who feel as if we've been emotionally hit by a train!

Thank you for posting this. I was trying to find more information about exactly what the allegations were and what the SOLT had to say. It's devastating. He has always been a good kick in the pants when I've felt despair. I will still use the videos, but I too must retract my support of him. God be with him!
