Michael Voris\u2019 latest contribution to the fray<\/a>. If I don\u2019t reply, I\u2019m \u201cdodging the TRVTH\u201d. If I do, I\u2019m \u201cobsessing over this issue.\u201d Since I\u2019m obviously one of the people being addressed in his video, I\u2019ll give a fair answer to issues fairly raised.<\/p>\nHe is, God bless him, entitled to his opinion. It would be good, however, if less attention were paid by \u201cfans\u201d to regurgitating Fr. Corapi\u2019s highly edited version of reality, and more attention were paid to the fact that he is, as he betrays his fatherly vows, also demanding we credit\u2013on his word alone\u2013<\/p>\n
his claim that his bishop is a blackmailer and libeller, <\/p>\n
his promise of \u201ccomplete cooperation\u201d (while in fact stymying the investigation with his lawsuit and destroying it by betraying his vocation and leaving the priesthood) and <\/p>\n
his claim that certain people in authority \u201cwanted me gone\u201d when in fact we now know that his superior labored to persuade him to stay in the priesthood. <\/p>\n
The automatic credulity given this man has to give way to some skepticism in the face of these lies and baseless accusations. The disturbing lack of evidence for other Big Fish Tales he has told about his supposed Special Forces Training just confirms the pattern. But the Big Fish tale is nothing compared to the lie he is making of his fatherly vows as a priest by walking away from the priesthood. <\/p>\n
Have people learned nothing from the Maciel scandal about extending infinite credulity to a clever man whose story does not add up\u2013particularly when he is abandoning his vows and attacking his bishop?<\/p>\n
Now please. I really do want to give it a rest. Unless the Pope releases a video saying, \u201cMark Shea! Never doubt Fr. Corapi when he calls his bishop a blackmailer and a libeller!\u201d can we please move on?<\/p>\n
And yes. Comments will again be closed. I don\u2019t have time for all the craziness.<\/p>\n
