Small monthly gifts, big Catholic mission. Become a sustaining member today. The stunning announcement by John Corapi that he is leaving the Catholic priesthood has raised a series of questions about the man who had earned national attention as a preacher. He did not indicate whether he intended to continue speaking as a Catholic, or whether he would seek to appeal to a different clientele.

Corapi charges that his accuser, a former employee, had received a settlement under which she agreed not to speak critically about his corporation. Because of the lawsuit, Father Sheehan reported, key witnesses in the canonical investigation were unable to speak freely. By leaving the priesthood, Corapi seems to have derailed the canonical investigation and avoided the possibility of a final disciplinary judgment by the Church.

The nature of the charges against him has never been revealed.

Although it is widely assumed by commentators that he was accused of sexual misconduct, it is also possible that the complaints included concerns about the handling of the considerable income Corapi derives from his public appearances, books, and tapes. Father Corapi lives with his staff in Montana, in a diocese where—even before his suspension—he did not have faculties to minister publicly as a Catholic priest.

Father Sheehan, his SOLT superior, revealed that the society had asked Corapi to leave his solitary business and live with the other members of his religious community.
