Brethren, as many of you know already, popular speaker and author Fr. John Corapi has been placed on administrative leave by superiors within his religious order following recent allegations of misconduct, which he denies (More here).
Frankly, I believe the charges are bunk and the fact that no civil action has been directed at Fr. Corapi indicates to me that this is a willful and determined attempt to destroy his reputation, public image, and moral authority. Moreover, I consider this a satanic attack against a good priest.
Our priests – all of them – are under attack from the prince of darkness. We need to pray, not only for Fr. Corapi, but for all our priests:
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.Amen.
