Ah Peace!

You may have noticed that all the Corapi comments are gone and you can’t post to those entries.

I decided that between my time, people’s need to engage in all sorts of non sequiturs and speculation and the sheer ambient sense of degrading signal to noise ratio, my time won out. I don’t have time to monitor the craziness, so I made the craziness go away. Sorry. Can’t be everywhere at once.

Update: And comments are off here too. If people want to give me some solid evidence that the Special Forces Training Tale, replete with helicopter accident, adventures in Georgia, and the Class that All Died has solid evidence to back it up, I’m quite willing to eat crow. But I’m not seeing it yet. And please, give me evidence, not allegations that I hate Fr. Corapi and am out to destroy the Church, Mom and Apple Pie. If the evidence really holds up and documents the Tale then, by golly, I’m wrong and will say so and offer a full apology for misinterpreting his record. But show me.

I will still maintain, of course, that Fr. Corapi is grossly sinning by walking away from vocation (breaking his fatherly vow is a lie far more serious than any Big Fish story he may tell his “fans” about his Military record). And I will still lack trust in him since it is now documented that his pledges of “complete cooperation” with the investigation were false and that he, in fact, hindered and destroyed the investigation. And I will still, when forced to choose between the bishop he baselessly charges with blackmail and libel and his highly dubious account of himself, trust his bishop and not him–and urge you to exercise the same common sense rather than fall into rebellion along with him. That’s what has been my concern since he chose to bail on his vocation, not some dumb “vendetta” again a guy who I have hardly paid attention to except for the past few days and, before that, for a few days in March/April when the story broke.

Having said that, I am (please God) really done with this story for now. Others will, I am morally certain, be finding a lot more in this man’s story that does not add up. But for me, I’ve really got to do other stuff.
