Corapi Has Lost It
By Jimmy Akin
Fr. John ...Fr. Corapi Has Lost It <br />By Jimmy Akin <br /> <br />Fr. John Corapi has published a statement—also available in video form—in which he has announced that he is leaving active ministry as a priest.<br /><br />He’s right.<br /><br />He is. And he has.<br /><br />Unless something extraordinarily improbable occurs, he will never again function as a Catholic priest.<br /><br />And it’s his decision.<br /><br />I’m quite sympathetic to innocently accused priests and the need to have better safeguards to protect them. I think there is room for potential criticism of how the Church has formulated its policy, or how it applies that policy in particular cases.<br /><br />I also do not know whether he is guilty of the sexual and other misconduct of which he is accused. I have no way of determining that.<br /><br />Frankly, from what is known of the situation, the entire thing sounds weird, and it did from the beginning. What was known about the accuser’s actions sounded weird (although that could have been due to imperfect representation of the facts), and Fr. Corapi’s public reaction was weird. This made if hard to judge where potential misdoing might lie. It could have been with either party—or both.<br /><br />But at this point it doesn’t really matter which one was at fault or whether both were, because Fr. Corapi has taken it upon himself to end the matter by publicly abandoning his priesthood.<br /><br />If his statement is any guide, this was not forced upon him. This was something he freely chose.<br /><br />In fact, he may have chosen it some time ago, since his statement says that his autobiography, titled “The Black SheepDog,” will be published soon. If he began working on this project while he has been on hiatus then he may have chosen to leave the priesthood—or been preparing to voluntarily leave it as a contingency plan—for some time.<br /><br />The name of the book is also worthy of attention: “The Black SheepDog.” This is a portmanteau of “the black sheep” and “sheep dog.” <br /><br />“Black sheep” is obviously a common English idiom for a member of a group (typically a family) who either has fallen from grace or who is regarded by members of the group as having fallen from grace. That fits Fr. Corapi’s status given the sexual misconduct allegations against him.<br /><br />What’s startling is that he would identify with this label and make it his own. It’s embracing an “on the run” identity that signals separation from and disobedience to the ecclesiastical authorities.<br /><br />After all, not every person accused of sexual misconduct would embrace such a label. Many would say, “I’m innocent! I’m a white sheep, and I look forward to vindicating myself against the charges that have been falsely lodged against me!”<br /><br />So the embrace of the “black sheep” label is itself disturbing . . . and unusual . . . a symbol of a “rebel” or “renegade” mindset...."<br /><br />The question is is: why does Carol McKinley continue to defend a priest who has left the ministry and who identifies himself as a "black sheep"?<br /><br />Answer: This blog and its author are part of a cult.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-5396887164796075702011-06-26T13:07:46.405-04:002011-06-26T13:07:46.405-04:00Cardinal Omalley and his petted

But Maria's point is, I believe, that given all the circumstantial evidence, the duty of the Cardinal would be to say "Hey Father, you are teaching and preaching celibacy, right? You're not, in any way, promoting promiscuity and condoms, correct?"<br /><br />Instead, the Cardinal and the Chancery look the other way. When people bring something scandalizing to souls to his attention, he circles the people bringing the scandal to his attention and bullies in the press and public square with PR spin. <br /><br />When a charge of Cardinal O'Malley's is causing injury to souls or the Church, his tack is to lie about it, praise the person doing the harm and slander and bully the people bringing it to his attention and asking him to do his job as a shepherd. THIS is what is outrageous.<br /><br />This is precisely the same tack the shepherds used to protect pedophiles. Nothing has changed. They are either incapable or unwilling to discipline their priests. <br /><br />The Mass was originally scheduled as a gay pride mass. Enough noise was made by the faithful, that the Cardinal's superiors gave him some orders. <br /><br />The Cardinal took the orders to cancel the Mass and approved a gay pride prayer service to appease Fr. Unni and then rescheduled the Mass outside of gay pride month. This all made it look like they were being obedient to the orders they received from above.<br /><br />The Cardinal then sent his public relations people to use the words he used in the press against the people bringing the scandal to his attention. Of course, he takes an arms-length approach from the malignant words Terry Donilon uses to maintain the meek and humble shoeless friar public persona.<br /><br />I've seen too much of it to continue applauding the charade. Love Christ and his Church and the souls being used and abused too much.<br /><br /><br />In reality, all the Cardinal has done here is to give John Unni the cover he needs to keep on going with his apostasy. Catholics who airing the dirty laundry of his administration are recipients of intimidation tactics.<br /><br />There is no such thing as having to schedule a special Mass where every parishioner is invited. That is what ever Mass is and always has been in the history of our 2000 years.<br /><br />The Cardinal abandoned his See to run a travelogue blog. All the people he appointed to run his diocese oppose the teachings of the Church. As they are running the diocese and we are revealing what is going on to the PEOPLE, he wants to boo-hoo about how holy and faithful HE is and how HE is being persecuted. <br /><br />I am sorry, but I am not edified about his own personal journey to holiness. I would be if he were a monk in a Monastery but he is a shepherd of a very large diocese that is in trouble. It is not about him, it is about the people he is starving.<br /><br />He needs to stop traveling the world like a prince and taking pictures of himself and sit in his rump in the chair to do his job as the Cardinal Archbishop of Boston. The days of being princes are over. <br /><br />He needs to stop lying to cover up the tracks of his staff harming people and he needs to stop maligning people who are bringing it to his attention. When he receives a complaint and investigates it, his actions should lead to discipline of the priest and truth.<br /><br />The faithful sees what he is doing on this one. Heck, the Boston Globe even sees what he is doing. He is not fooling anyone but himself and Terry Donilon.TTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738875888053745269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-62275827214183123412011-06-25T23:36:10.933-04:002011-06-25T23:36:10.933-04:00Let us take a look at one of the "assisting c...Let us take a look at one of the "assisting clergy" @ St. Cecelia's:<br /><br />We have:<br /><br />(1) Fr.

I don't believe you do understand.
T...Daniel,<br /><br />I don't believe you do understand.<br /><br />The Cardinal has chosen to deal with Fr. Unni's apostasy by lying about the character of his ministry and the gay pride celebrations integrated into them - including the Sacred Liturgy.<br /><br />The lie is exposed because there is no such thing as a Mass that needs to be especially scheduled for 'all' parishioners.<br /><br />This is intellectual dishonesty that people can see through. Most disturbing that the Cardinal is playing along with the charade.<br /><br />Those who are uncatechized, and especially gays, will conclude that unless there is a specially scheduled Mass, they are not welcome. Further, Fr. Unni has characterized his parish as the only parish where the priest and fellow Catholics openly welcome all parishioners.<br /><br />The theology behind this is terrible. The lies being told are impossible for educated Catholics to believe. This leaves us to draw the rational conclusion that the Cardinal covers tracks with dishonesty. Something that is beginning to look like his mantra.<br /><br />I am sure the Cardinal is getting crappy advice. But the point is, he is willing to go along with it. He is the party accountable for it all. He makes the final call on how to play the cards.TTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738875888053745269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-2547005873962283172011-06-25T22:13:28.982-04:002011-06-25T22:13:28.982-04:00Daniel: I read your rather scathing review of Caro...Daniel: I read your rather scathing review of Carol's current post. In post, you questioned the source for the claim that The Jesuit Urban Center was the best place to find a gay mate. Here it is:<br /><br />Best Place To Meet A Mate, Gay: The Jesuit Urban Center, South End. True, many happy couples found their love in the Ralph Lauren paint department of Homo Depot -- er, Home Depot. But Sunday morning Mass at the Jesuit Urban Center spawns more blessed pairings. The Urban Center's liturgy is both classic and contemporary; its mixed congregation is mostly gay; its AIDS and HIV support programs are some of the best in town; and its coffee hour is a great place to get phone numbers. 775 Harrison Avenue, Boston, 617-536-8440 ["The Best of Boston 1999", in Boston Magazine, August, 1999].<br /><br />It would appear that the faithful have been begging the hierarchy of Boston to take care of the problem at St. Cecelia's and the Jesuit Urban Center for decades. Nice to denounce in words. Action is more forceful.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704944620839677383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-13702529272007461562011-06-25T21:52:47.199-04:002011-06-25T21:52:47.199-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105420990294820012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-16987189879518964762011-06-25T21:09:49.188-04:002011-06-25T21:09:49.188-04:00Veronica-yes.

The Jesuit Urband Center, may refer to this article about Fr. Loftus SJ @<br /><br />www.theinquiry.ca/Loftus.hide.php<br /><br />Fr. Loftus SJ is the former Director of the Jesuit Urban Center. This is not for the feinthearted. The article notes:<br /><br />" Loftus’ pro-homosexual and dissident sympathies have not diminished with time. Indeed as recently as Lent 2006 Loftus used his Boston pulpit to impart homosexual propaganda and undermine Church teaching when, on Ash Wednesday he boldly promoted the Brokeback Mountain, a film known to be a work of homosexual propaganda. Loftus concurrently proclaimed his notion that it is not homosexuality which is the sin, but the "sin that is before us always is our refusal to grow into the freedom for which we were born." <br /><br />Daniel: This did not all disappear w/ a new location and a new pastor. Like Carol, I am not implicating O'Malley. There are political forces that have infiltrated the church and some of them wear roman collars. And, yes, they have an agenda. Orthodox priests are held hostage by them. Oh, You will never guess whose articles always show up in St. Cecelia's bulletins? Yep, our friendly, charming and likable, homosexual acitvist, Padre James Martin SJ!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704944620839677383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-40706206284623018492011-06-25T20:55:06.180-04:002011-06-25T20:55:06.180-04:00St. John's Seminary is actually quite good. I...St. John's Seminary is actually quite good. It was cleaned up by the former rector (before Bishop Kennedy) who was also run out of town for his orthodoxy. He left a couple of scathing letters on the way out the door!<br /><br />Bishop Kennedy did a great job building on the work of his predecessor. You will great formation and support there.<br /><br />The Cardinal is surrounded by buffoons he appointed. He is so seldom in town, he does not know what is going on. That is his 'style' of leadership. There are ramifications to appointing people who oppose the teachings of the Church. He ignored those ramifications for the first seven or eight years he was here. <br /><br />In 2010, the day of reckoning arrived in blogosphere. Now, he finds the corruption under his nose splashed all over the internet. <br /><br />It was a very hard decision to make to do this - but the system in place left us no internal forum to reconcile the errors being taught with the teachings of the Church. It was either expose it, or lose another generation of children.<br /><br />I believe the departure of the present Vicar General and the appointment of Monsignor Deeley as the new sheriff in town is a sign the Cardinal realizes the faithful have drawn the line in the sand.<br /><br />The Cardinal has very poorly served by his spokesperson. If Mr. Donilon were trying to sabotage the Cardinal, he couldn't do a better job. But the Cardinal's spokesperson advises him how to play the cards and speaks for him in the press.
