This is a shame and travesty. I very much enjoyed listening to Fr. Corapi in my Neo-Cath days. He was very conservative and would have made a fine Trad priest if he had chosen to go that route.
As for the YouTube speech, the logic is schizophrenic. He says the process is fatally flawed and he is unjustly being thrown out like yesterday's trash and assumed guilty. On the other hand he probably deserves it anyway (even though he is innocent) and the Bishops have the "right" to make any decision they see fit.
This goes back to the flawed Neo-Cath version of blind obedience. Are Catholic bishops absolute despot/ dictators? Is there absolutely ZERO moral recourse for a soul if they have been flat out wronged by a Bishop and/ or the system? He says he did not want to fight because he'd be in a confrontational situation with "the Church" yet he says the Bishop of Corpus Christi, due to pressure from "other bishops" forced his superiors to investigate him or else the Bishop would release libelous letters publicly!!!
So, on the one hand, he seemingly accuses the Corpus Christi bishop of blackmailing his superiors, yet he doesn't want to be in a "confrontational relationship" so he'll just resign? Does he realize what he's saying? If this is truly the case, he has a right out of justice to clear his name and any responsibility for confrontation would be on the Churchmen who are forcing the issue.
