Or simply re-register at FE as "ILuvLua" and imbibe the genius they are dealing on this issue right now.

Damn, you're like the king of advice for wanna-be lovers, man...you should quit your day job (do you really have one?) and start writing a column or something...

But seriously, I'm sure Lua can give you the feminist take on this issue...

I imagine you could give me the feminist take, too. It just takes a little imagination

As for Lua's being a feminist, although I have only read a little bit of her stuff, the charge doesn't stick, IMO.

GV,

If you want to sift through the FE pile of manure to find hidden gems of insight on this, be my guest.

Have a good one.

Former Bishop of Corpus Christi on Fr. Corapi

The [trademarked]Black Sheep Dog has a new statement.

I find the comments by Adam West from Fisheaters interesting on this subject.

Also, it appears that John Corapi didn't say Mass often or offer Sacraments much at all over his 20-year career.

He still has a hard-core group of fans, which may be due to an understandable backlash by the majority of people who despise effeminate priests.

How can they show he didn't offer the sacraments "much" over 20 years?

These people need to be careful they are not calumniating or detracting the man.

What has the man been proven guilty of? Nothing.

He was in a catch 22. "Give up your civil rights or this star chamber canonical process (by which you are guilty until proven innocent) cannot go forward. You will be suspended in the meantime."

Read the link I posted. Far from giving up his legal rights he may very well sue his accusers ( if he ever is allowed to figure out who they are).

He knows who it is and says he has tapes of phone messages (calls) which prove her lack of credibility. It is a former business partner of his media company.

I should really get links about the lack of sacraments (he had no jurisdiction), but for me his recorded statements say it all.

I also believe he had impediments to the priesthood in the first place.

Liz,

Those are serious claims! And even if true, why do we need to know them?

Elizabeth · « **Reply #53 on:** June 22, 2011, 12:26:07 AM »

Fr. Corapi has made it all public himself. He has made recordings about his suspension, the Black Sheep Dog talks.

No calumny from me. He has many talks about his lifestyle before his conversion.

It is not detraction to state that his former lifestyle would be an impediment to the priesthood.

Here is something to begin with, Stevus. You do realise he quit the priesthood, right? Some of the legal problems are addressed in this article:

On his blog, Corapi is calling himself "black sheep dog". I wonder if he's been dabbling in some satanic stuff...

Elizabeth · « **Reply #56 on:** June 22, 2011, 05:42:50 PM »

SS, I THINK he owns some big dogs at his Montana ranch...in any case, questions about him having trademarked the nickname in 2010 before he quit the priesthood are being asked.

I think it is creepy and suggestive of the occult also, but I'm sure his die hard fans love the Black Sheep Dog thing.

His trademarked BSD image is hardly Catholic looking.

"I didn't do very much of that quite honestly in the twenty years that I did minister....90% of what I did in the past did not require ordination. Speaking through sound communication-radio, TV, so forth--that's not ministry, strictly speaking. My particular mission was speaking, writing, and teaching--not so much in the sacraments, but outside of them. Sowaht I'm going to be doing in the future is pretty much the same thing."

Arborman, hope I can be forgiven for wondering if Black Dog is on a long military operation.
