A synthesis of his autobiography, \u201cTHE BLACK SHEEP DOG\u2026CROSSING THE RUBICON,\u201d you won\u2019t want to miss hearing the expanded version of his classic \u201cPersonal Testimony.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Um.  He was not dismissed.  He quit, vamoosed, bailed on his vows, ditched his vocation, defied and smeared his bishop and investigators\u2013in order to stop the investigation of his drugging, whoring, sexting and unfitness to be a priest, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncregister.com\/site\/article\/solt-father-corapi-unfit-for-ministry\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">as the findings showed<\/a>.  And that lie is all the warning you need that the latest phase of Fr. Corapi\u2019s career is to begin attacking the Church and playing victim as he continues his attempt to rebrand himself as the chaplain to Right Wing Generic American Civil Religion.  His whole \u201cI was the greatest Catholic of my time, but was shocked at the corruption and the Powers That Be had to silence me\u201d schtick is taking shape.<\/p>\n<p>I reiterate: the real hero of this whole sham is Bp.
