Fr. Corapi

I know I'm tardy to the party, but I felt I needed a few days to digest everything.  I think Fr. Corapi's an amazing priest who has a true gift for preaching and teaching the Gospel.  However, this whole "Black Sheepdog" business is getting ridiculous.  A single question keeps resounding in my mind, and I can't shake it.  The question is simple:  Fr. Corapi, do you understand the pain you cause Jesus and His Most Blessed Mother with your pride?

You have been blessed with an abundance of Grace.  God hand-picked you, plucking you from your life of misery, calling you to shepherd His people towards His Mercy.  You are so knowledgable, so charismatic!  You seem to forget, however, that these are gifts that have been granted to you by the Holy Spirit... not for your own glorification, but for the glorification of God.  You, my good priest, have been placed on such a high pedestal by those who have clung to your words.  Fr. Corapi, these words are not YOURS.  They came from the Holy Spirit.  You were chosen worthy among so many others to bring the Light of God... the Light of His Mercy... into the hearts of the Church.  And now, because your ego has been bruised, you turn away from these gifts.  You turn away from these graces that have been so abundantly poured out on you!  You stifle the Light within your own heart because you think you can "go it alone."

Dear, dear Father Corapi, you are nothing without the Church.  How do you not understand that the frustrated words you speak are spoken against your own Lord?  How do you not understand that He felt the pain of your betrayal as He bore His Cross up to Calvary?  Fr. Corapi, I assure you, Jesus was clearly thinking of you, too, when He bowed His Sacred Head and begged His Father for forgiveness.  The Blessed Mother weeps for the pain inflicted upon Her Son's Precious Body... for the pain inflicted upon His Sacred Heart. You have been entrusted with so much, and you turn away for what?  PRIDE? 

Please, Fr. Corapi, let me remind you that Jesus was accused of far worse as they beat and scourged His Flesh.  Let me please remind you that Jesus stood accused in front of the very same people who laid palm branches at His Feet not a week earlier.  Let me remind you that He bore the shame, the hurt, the humility and the indescribable pain in silence... accepting only the Will of the Father for the Salvation of Mankind.

If these allegations be false, Father Corapi, then accept the method of His Church - YOUR Church - and patiently have faith that all is the Will of the Father.  Padre Pio and Saint Faustina are perfect examples of how God sometimes uses such extremes of humility to bring about His Glory.  Take heed, dear Father, take heed.  Offer these sacrifices for the conversion of souls... for those in Purgatory... for the intentions of the Pope!  No suffering allowed by the Lord is in vain.  All is for His Will and the Salvation of souls. 

If these allegations be honest, Father Corapi, then accept the Mercy of God and once again be an example to all of us that Mercy can be obtained through a contrite and resolute heart. 

But please, Father Corapi, halt your assault on your Bride.  She is your Church, and you are angrily lashing out against Her for the wrong reasons.  Jesus will defend His Bride, just as you, His hand-picked representative, should. 

My prayers are with you - and they are with all those who seek to follow you away from Christ.  Meditate on the Sorrowful Mysteries, Fr. Corapi.  Meditate on Saint Faustina's teachings, on Padre Pio's example.  Ask the Holy Spirit for clarity and strength.  Do not continue down this road.  You are meant for better.
