First Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus for 3. Next, Peter denied Christ three times while the other Apostles except John ran off and went into hiding. Each century that followed presented even more scandals of different kinds.

From heresies to sexual misconduct and theft, the Church has experienced it all. Today, a repeat took place with a monsignor and laywoman doing the same along with a priest revealing he is gay and with a partner.

When they do happen, I do not run and panic or cry out 'conspiracy!'  I pray for all those involved but acknowledge the facts of any scandal even if it brings me enemies or gets me banned from Facebook groups after fellow Catholics slander me (see: http: //www. One scandal which is still talked about today is that of John Corapi who was accused by a former employee for sexual misconduct and abuse of drugs as well as alcohol. The priest was immediately suspended as an investigation took hold on Ash Wednesday in 2. In respond, many Catholics who were fans of his work were shocked. Others reserved judgment until the facts came in; however, when they did come in, some of these still remained confident that Corapi was a victim of some conspiracy to silence him. Corapi claimed to be innocent but never followed through with his defense.

He claimed that there were factions in the hierarchy that wanted him to . Corapi seemed to have branched away from Catholic ministry and started a business where he would speak to a . New images of Corapi appeared with a dyed beard, an expensive leather jacket looking nothing like his image of a religious order priest wearing a gray habit. His order, the Society of Our Lady of the most Holy Trinity kept accusing him of not conforming to their way of life. I tried to search the order's website but it is no longer operational see: www.

This would clearly defy the vow of poverty. Corapi would only state this. My Response Regarding Tuesday’s Press Release From SOLT. Jul 7. Posted by The Black Sheep. Dog 5: 0. 0 EST. I am going to answer in a simple, straight forward way what seem to me the main elements of the action taken against me by the Diocese of Corpus Christi and the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity.

Regarding my personal financial situation—From the earliest days (more than twenty years ago) the Founder of the Society of Our Lady, Fr. James Flanagan, encouraged me to support myself and the Church as well. He said they could not afford to support my ministry and me personally because of the unique nature of the mission. At every step of the way, through the entire past twenty years, the Society of Our Lady’s leadership knew of my financial independence. Flanagan encouraged, I have supported SOLT and myself from . I have never had any promiscuous or even inappropriate relations with her.

Never. Regarding the investigation—As standard practice, my legal counsel advised me not to cooperate with the investigation until I was able to determine that the Commission’s process was fair and I had adequate rights to defend myself. Questions that certainly qualify the validity of any legal case have never been answered by the so called “fact finding team.” They refuse to reveal, and therefore utilize, any of the so- called evidence perhaps because if . Clearly, as my legal counsel has portrayed, the evidence supplied by the accused (of which my counsel is not permitted access to) must not have any substance. Regarding . On two occasions there were standard severance agreements executed with former employees and independent contractors. These agreements contained very common non- disclosure provisions. Any attorney who would not include such provisions in such agreements would rightly be guilty of negligent and actionable conduct.

Regarding my resignation—I resigned because the process used by the Church is grossly unjust, and, hence, immoral. I resigned because I had no chance from the beginning of a fair and just hearing. As I have indicated from the beginning of all this, I am not extinguished! If I were to commit to the suggestion of the Society, then I would essentially crawl under a rock and wait to die. However, I can not deny this desire to share aspects of Truth and Hope with all those willing to hear. This is what I shall continue to fight for!

Many are not going to appreciate this decision, and I respect that. For those who can accept it, onward! However, after a back and forth between himself and his order, Corapi filed a lawsuit against his accuser which I think destroyed his credibility see: http: //jimmyakin. Redacted. Charge.

However, if she violated the agreement, she had to pay him back the $1. What did he want to remain quiet? Gerard Sheehan, SOLT Regional Priest Servant Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Robstown, Texas.

Fr. Corapi submitted his resignation from the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (. SOLT is a Society of Apostolic Life of Diocesan Right with its regional office in Robstown, Texas.

While SOLT does not typically comment publicly on personnel matters, it recognizes that Fr. John Corapi, through his ministry, has inspired thousands of faithful Catholics, many of whom continue to express their support of him.

SOLT also recognizes that Fr. Corapi is now misleading these individuals through his false statements and characterizations. It is for these Catholics that SOLT, by means of this announcement, seeks to set the record straight. A woman, well known to Fr. The Sisterhood Of Night (2015) Video Download here. John Corapi, mailed SOLT a signed letter detailing allegations of Fr. Corapi's sexual activity with adult women, abuse of alcohol and drugs, improper sacramental practices, violation of his promise of poverty, and other wrongdoing.

After receiving the allegation, SOLT formed a three person fact- finding team to ensure that it handled this matter in accordance with canonical norms. The team included a priest- canonist, a psychiatrist, and a lawyer. Two were members of religious orders, and one was a lay Catholic. Two were men, and one was a woman. All three have national reputations and substantial experience in ecclesiastical processes related to priest disciplinary issues. As the Society was engaging this team, Fr.

Corapi filed a civil lawsuit against his principal accuser. He contended that she had defamed him and breached her contract.

The contract, according to Corapi's lawsuit, contained a provision binding the woman to silence about him. He offered the woman $1. SOLT's fact- finding team subsequently learned that Fr. Corapi may have negotiated contracts with other key witnesses that precluded them from speaking with SOLT's fact- finding team. Many of these witnesses likely had key information about the accusations being investigated and declined to answer questions and provide documents. When the fact- finding team asked Fr. Corapi to dismiss the lawsuit, to forbear from foreclosing his mortgage, and to release her and other individuals from their contractual obligations to remain silent about him, he refused to do so and, through his canonical advocate, stated: .

Corapi's e- mails, various witnesses, and public sources that, together, state that, during his years of public ministry: He did have sexual relations and years of cohabitation (in California and Montana) with a woman known to him, when the relationship began, as a prostitute; He repeatedly abused alcohol and drugs; He has recently engaged in sexting activity with one or more women in Montana; He holds legal title to over $1 million in real estate, numerous luxury vehicles, motorcycles, an ATV, a boat dock, and several motor boats, which is a serious violation of his promise of poverty as a perpetually professed member of the Society. SOLT has contemporaneously with the issuance of this press release directed Fr.
