I am not going to make any comment regarding the Fr Corapi issue other than to say that is both tragic and immensely sad.
I try to measure it against a priestly anniversary party held recently in a Diocese I know of. It was for a priest who had, some years previously, fled his parish overnight and returned to his native Ireland rather than have the police press alleged charges against him regarding importuning for young men in a public lavatory. Within a couple of years he was back in the Diocese, admittedly in a non contact role and there he remains, celebrating I don't know how many years of priesthood.
Of one thing I am sure. The devil strikes those whom we love and respect the most. Prayers are needed.
