Sure is nice to see a REAL MAN behind the Roman Collar! God bless you, Father Corapi, this nation (USA), this WORLD needs more priests like you! Couraggio, couraggio!!!
Fr John Corapi is the best Homilist, teacher and a holy man! He inspired many many people with his teachings. So grateful to the Lord that he’s back. We love you Fr John Corapi and will continue to pray for your protection and success in your priestly ministry🙏🙏🙏
I will always pray for Fr. Corapi. He always gave us the truth. The good, bad, and ugly. The "hierarchy" wanted him out. He was gone in 3 wks. It shows how much corruption in the church. Well, they will have to answer before God too. TRUTH BE TOLD!
I don't care what anybody says' his preaching was authentic, he preached the truth! No one is perfect, but Fr Corapi preached the truth and I'm sure he was instrumental in converting many. Why should we destroy all the good he's done by judging him. God said "judge not lest you be judged".
Learn to take Scripture in context. God never said not to judge, but not to make hypocritical judgements. Matthew 7:1-5 is quite clear: “Stop judging, so that you may not be judged. For with the judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the beam in your own eye? Or how will you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and look, the beam is in your own eye? Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye." We are to be careful when we judge a brother or sister to make sure we are not guilty of the same thing we judge them on. So often we see the speck in someone else's eyes, and so often we don't see the plank in our eye that is equally as sinful. Later on in Matthew 7, Yeshua tells us to judge someone by their fruits. In Matthew 18, again we are told that the church is to judge, and in 1 Cor. 5:9-13 we are taught that we the saints (I know you catholics don't use the term saints about all Christians, but the Bible does) are to judge inside the church and not outside the church!
I think there is also the psychological fact that when we judge another, by the very fact of that, we are making a statement about ourselves. We are exposing our own values and beliefs; so, our own house must, therefore, be in order. May God bless Fr. Corapi!
Hi .. I just expressed my own opinion ? Pl correct me if am wrong and tell me , i have the right to express my opinion? Its my Freedom of Expression., isin't?
+Robert Pentangelo Let me guess, you're a Sedevacant "Catholic" that believes that the Catholic Church went astray with Vatican II, or a protestant. It amazes me how many people expect to receive forgiveness for their sins, yet are so unwilling to forgive the sins of others.
In Heaven we will be displaying our battle wounds and thankful to God for them. But none of us will outdo Jesus' wounds. Come let us embrace the battle with Fr. Corapi and all the great priests and lay people God has given us to encourage us. - Blessings - Rene
Father Corapi, what a great priest. I watch some if not all of his sermons on EWTN whenever they are on and I enjoy each and every one. He's firm but fair with what he says theres no doubt about it. God bless everyone, even the disbelievers for they need prayer too.
Father I believe you are truly giving the message the Words .. that Jesus Christ Himself would reiterate and no matter what always I will pray for you Father ! Thank you responding to His call
This is truth. I have suffered, I am still alive, and what these men say is the reason I still have hope, and joy, and life. Brave men to speak such words ... they will surely be ridiculed and rejected. God, they are in good company.
"The Leadership of the Church has to Galvanised". You guys are certainly lighting the fires beneath the leadership. Good. As a 'lapsed Catholic' it is voices such as yours that are leading me back.
This man spoke with much understanding and truth. The truth of his message is proven by the scandal and manner of his fall. In Satan's world power trumps truth every time. St. Michael, please, defend (and, if necessary, rescue) him from evil.
Amen! I'll never forget his homily on priests that fall. He pleaded not for condemnation, but for the faithful to pray and do penance for them. I believe this was providential. I plead for all the faithful to do penance and pray for this priest. God Bless.
Three years ago the 44 yr-old son of a friend of mine died and I was asked to help clean out his things and give his clothes to the poor, etc. In his garage I came across two large caches of pornographic magazines. I can't tell you how satisfying it was to destroy that smut. I didn't just throw it in the trash, I destroyed it, and threw the remains in the trash. It felt so good to do so.
This priest has awesome integrity, and big pair of balls , my type of preaching just like the apostles ,,, speak the truth it will set you free Jesus said , he gives me faith for the Catholic revive
Kolbe19---Agreed. His comments were also, ironically, prophetic. And prayer may be the only effective weapon, as this battle is truthfully fought in the spiritual realm---invisible to most!
Two great men in conference. RCC is the best... People should realize how intelligent all the clergy are in the RCC. Nuns, Priests, Brothers, Decon's.., These people are so brave and loving this is why I praise the the Father the Son & the Holy Spirit with the RCC. God Bless the Beloved Holy Mother & all the Saints...
I totally agree with everything that you have presented here to us, especially the part about prayer and Panitz now I think a lot of prayer is Panitz ??? And I won't reveal how much I pray if it comes down to physical confrontation unfortunately I am in agreement with that, I love Jesus !!!
@mufc1970ok I bought Fr. Corapi's The Catechism of the Catholic Church DVDs. His talk about confession helped me quit smoking. Fr. Corapi said that even smoking (by definition of what a mortal sin is - grave matter (smoking kills), full knowledge ("the surgeon general says ..."), full consent (how many times do you smoke in a day?) is a mortal sin. Whoever commits sin, becomes a slave to sin ! With the help of a priest friend who offered mass for me, i was freed from the chain of smoking !
Whoever REJECTS TEACHING OF POPE and bishops in union to pope REJECTS JESUS. Why? Jesus said to His apostles: "Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me...(Luke 10:16)
Humanae vitae pierced the human conscience in people, they wanted convenience, but ended up being told to regulate their sex life. Many didn't like it, and might have pressured the bishops against it. Remind ppl about it if you have the courage, they'll most likely run you out of town or get the bishop to ship you to a monastery. The pleasure and satisfaction you feel is dependent on the love you have. Lust can never increase love.
Here in Australia we miss you. I hope this all gets sorted out? Good people do not go to heaven, no one is good enough for heaven. We are all sinners and not worthy of heaven. Where is the forgiveness in this case...AMEN+
"Judge not lest ye be judged' does not mean check your mind at the door. It means not to be judgemental (and/or self-righteous). We are all still called to be discerning. The Bible also says that bad company corrupts good morals. Thank Heaven for Fr. Corapi! May the Father continue to Bless you and your ministry!
@Gullytale Really? Come on. He is a real man of God. He did not have any vanitial improvements done. He is a dang good-looking guy. But more important by far is he is preaching to save souls and the hateful heretics in the church have found a tidy way to get rid of him!! It is so sad and sickening--and for you to stoop to that when he is going through this undeserved crisis! I miss seeing him on EWTN!!
What Father is speaking of I saw coming in the seventies. I knew that with one thing comes another. Our Episcopalian friends accepted women clergy. Equal right? But then it comes. Feminist theology. Goddess worship. In our own Catholic church we have women religious saying "we have come past Jesus..the goddess is our only meaningful person now. And in our Church! HEAD FATIMA!
Encyslical Humanae Vitae is a letter from church doctrine on the vitality and importance of life. Not just the sacred ness of life but the necessity of human life in the human condition.
I like to see this man in politics , sadly he a dead man , truth kills today it happened to Jesus he spoked the truth , Paul got his head caught off , have we changed ,ask men like Martin Luther King etc etc your a dead man this gives me the power to choose I might take Paul place one day I love Jesus
They change words to pretty up their "evils" for example, take 3 different words that technicaly mean the same thing: 1. Baby Killers 2. Abortion 3. Pro-choice "abortion" sounds morally better than "baby-killers" and "pro-choice" sounds morally better than "abortion".
Its outrageous that churches have removed crucifixs and the tabernacles! I didnt know that! Wow, that's insane! How can they justify such an affront to God? If my church did that, we would have had every person in my congration go crazy!
@epicent What makes the Catholic Church so sick is that instead of calling the police and warning parents, the hierarchy engaged in cover up after cover up. I've seen scandal in churches, and I've seen the perpetrators get the boot right into jail. The Catholic Church is unique in their cavalier attitude toward this horrendus crime against children. Did I say cavalier? YES. The way they "forgave" these perverts and shuffled them off to other "areas of ministry" (excuse me while
@mufc1970ok .. not WELL DONE bro, i did not do anything .. PRAISE GOD !!! and i thank Him for my priest friend who offered daily mass for me. True bro, it's hard ... i tried twice .. used nicotine patches .. did not work. Only after i listened to Fr. Corapi's talk about sin, and after my priest friend offered mass for me, and after my dad's suffering in the hospital after a heart bypass, only then was i freed from smoking.
Sad to see such a great spokesman for the church get snagged by the very things he preached against. It is abundantly clear that pride consumed this once humble warrior of the the gospel.
@TheCannonofMohammed As G.K. Chesterton aptly put it, "Don't you see that we're all in the same boat? Yes, and we're all jolly sea-sick." We will not find a perfect person, a perfect institution, a perfect society, a perfect anything. We're fools to expect to find it on earth. But Jesus Christ sat among the fools, founded His Church on them; one betrayed Him, one denied Him, nine abandoned Him, one was left... But the Church still exists! How? Look up Matthew 16:18 for the answer. God bless you.
Fr. Corapi: Abortion is never a form of contraception because abortion kills a child already conceived. I guess that you mean that abortion is purely a form of birth control; i.e. birth prevention. That is the medical science. GBY in your ministry. Yours, Cyril Winter, Ottawa, Canada: anti-abortion activist-demonstrator-advertiser.
Just to clarify. I am drbobrd. My wife made the above statement. Although I am her husband I don't agree with her! And by the way, I going to hell, so don't feel so bad :)
@dognruth No one is throwing stones, but, priests who have been led astray and are not doing their job should not be catered to, as they have been. Many of us wander from parish to parish for daily Mass, avoiding the really bad ones. Sitting through a homily being called sinful and bad b/c we aren't "marching" against AZ b/c of their law: I will not tolerate it any more.
@dognruth I don't judge them for personal weakness, but, for promoting what is wrong, and actively opposing people who are trying to live the way they are supposed to. Purporting their silly political views giving them the authority of the Church when it doesn't and using the captive audience of Massgoers to shove it down our throats. I resent that very much.
He was not talking about the Catholic Church, but the body of Christ. Jesus actually was against the way Catholic Church is. How he talked about the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and how they wanted the the power!!! What about the corruption of the Church? This is nothing about that, so I guess they rather talk about other things.
He criticized God's bishops and spoke as if he were better then they. This was a great offense against God. We pray for our clergy and hold them up to Jesus Christ. In this way all are uplifted. All power & authority comes from God. Few remember this today. The Lord established His Church with a hierarchy. Everyone goes off in their own direction. Imagine a bunch of people rowing a boat with no common direction each impeding another. We have to row the boat together to get to Heaven.
I see nothing holy about this priest. "Some servicemen just take up oxygen" may be so, but it sounds as he'd prefer they are/were aborted. "You have to go to mass, to be in a state of grace." Only God knows what is in a persons heart. My feeling is that the Church could be taken from us, but they can't take away my faith.
He should have done some real penance and left out the makeover - teeth and dying the beard. A man who went from one extreme way of living to another. An American priest for an American public.
Sure is nice to see a REAL MAN behind the Roman Collar! God bless you, Father Corapi, this nation (USA), this WORLD needs more priests like you! Couraggio, couraggio!!!
I enjoy listening to Father Corapi. He says it like it is.
may god bless this holy holy priest
Fr John Corapi is the best Homilist, teacher and a holy man! He inspired many many people with his teachings. So grateful to the Lord that he’s back.
We love you Fr John Corapi and will continue to pray for your protection and success in your priestly ministry🙏🙏🙏
We need Fr Corapi back
I will always pray for Fr. Corapi. He always gave us the truth. The good, bad, and ugly. The "hierarchy" wanted him out. He was gone in 3 wks. It shows how much corruption in the church. Well, they will have to answer before God too. TRUTH BE TOLD!
God love you, Fr. Corapi...still holding you in prayer. Stay strong & stay close to Our Lady!!!
Thank God for Father Corapi and all the many, many faithful priests like him. May the Lord preserve and sustain them all!
i don't care what's the reason behind why fr. corapi leave, i only care about how he change peoples lives and making there faith strong again to God
these videos are more important now than ever. still praying for you Fr. Corapi
I don't care what anybody says' his preaching was authentic, he preached the truth! No one is perfect, but Fr Corapi preached the truth and I'm sure he was instrumental in converting many. Why should we destroy all the good he's done by judging him. God said "judge not lest you be judged".

God bless Fr. John Carapi.
Fr.Corapi is a GREAT PRIEST and SON of OUR BLESSED MOTHER MARY. He is Great and Holy Priest.
Paul Christian He is a phony and just another EWTN celebrity priest gone the wrong way.
Hi .. I just expressed my own opinion ? Pl correct me if am wrong and tell me , i have the right to express my opinion? Its my Freedom of Expression., isin't?
+Robert Pentangelo Let me guess, you're a Sedevacant "Catholic" that believes that the Catholic Church went astray with Vatican II, or a protestant.
It amazes me how many people expect to receive forgiveness for their sins, yet are so unwilling to forgive the sins of others.
Hey.. what are you trying to tell...Tell clearly without any ambiguity....
We all pray for Priests like you and satan is messing with you Father because you are actually doing what our Lord Jesus has asked ..
I miss you Father Corapi.
In Heaven we will be displaying our battle wounds and thankful to God for them. But none of us will outdo Jesus' wounds. Come let us embrace the battle with Fr. Corapi and all the great priests and lay people God has given us to encourage us. - Blessings - Rene
I'm so heart broken for Father John Corapi.
Father corapi is great. They tried to destroy him
Father Corapi, what a great priest. I watch some if not all of his sermons on EWTN whenever they are on and I enjoy each and every one. He's firm but fair with what he says theres no doubt about it. God bless everyone, even the disbelievers for they need prayer too.
Fr. Corapi, your words always seem to ring true, I believe that you are a true warrior of Christ.
he has helped my son and I so much !!! so very much!!!!! God bless HIM !!!!!
We do them all!!! MASS PRAYER< CONFESSION, PENANCE!!!!
GOD BLESS YOU FATHER CORAPI
Father I believe you are truly giving the message the Words .. that Jesus Christ Himself would reiterate and no matter what always I will pray for you Father ! Thank you responding to His call
This is truth. I have suffered, I am still alive, and what these men say is the reason I still have hope, and joy, and life. Brave men to speak such words ... they will surely be ridiculed and rejected. God, they are in good company.
God bless and protect those 2 priests.
"The Leadership of the Church has to Galvanised". You guys are certainly lighting the fires beneath the leadership. Good. As a 'lapsed Catholic' it is voices such as yours that are leading me back.
Father Corapi so inspiring
Fr Corapi is a great God blessed priest
Fight,fight,fight for your life and your soul.
Amen. We miss you Father.
Fr. Corapi was a whistleblower, and he was dealt with like one.
This man spoke with much understanding and truth. The truth of his message is proven by the scandal and manner of his fall. In Satan's world power trumps truth every time. St. Michael, please, defend (and, if necessary, rescue) him from evil.
Amen! I'll never forget his homily on priests that fall. He pleaded not for condemnation, but for the faithful to pray and do penance for them. I believe this was providential. I plead for all the faithful to do penance and pray for this priest. God Bless.
Thank you Father for the truth you speak. May the Holy Spirit keep leading Souls to Jesus.
He is very right. God Bless him
Father Corapi would make a HORRIBLE politician . . . which is why I respect him so much and enjoy listening to him.
Maria Deneve Father Corapi I get a great deal out of listerning to you. YOU are great. GOD BLESS YOU'

This priest has awesome integrity, and big pair of balls , my type of preaching just like the apostles ,,, speak the truth it will set you free Jesus said , he gives me faith for the Catholic revive
I ĺove him and so god also loves him we are all human
Saw Father Corapi once before he was well known, and can't wait to see him Sept. 11th in Omaha! WORTH THE DRIVE!!!!
Kolbe19---Agreed. His comments were also, ironically, prophetic. And prayer may be the only effective weapon, as this battle is truthfully fought in the spiritual realm---invisible to most!
Thank you so much. This video really made my day.
The Knights Templar live on in priests like Father Corapi.
true Catholics pray "through" Mary and the saints just as our friends and family pray "through" us when they have reqursts and vica versa
Two great men in conference. RCC is the best... People should realize how intelligent all the clergy are in the RCC. Nuns, Priests, Brothers, Decon's.., These people are so brave and loving this is why I praise the the Father the Son & the Holy Spirit with the RCC. God Bless the Beloved Holy Mother & all the Saints...
Listening to this and his other speeches and his disappearance is even more puzzling! Something isn't adding up.
I totally agree with everything that you have presented here to us, especially the part about prayer and Panitz now I think a lot of prayer is Panitz ??? And I won't reveal how much I pray if it comes down to physical confrontation unfortunately I am in agreement with that, I love Jesus !!!
Excellent! Thank you for posting this.
truth
very well said :) thank you !

As a Canadian Catholic I just want to share to others that the Canadian Bishops have greatly distanced itself from the Winnipeg Statement now.
Here in Australia we miss you. I hope this all gets sorted out? Good people do not go to heaven, no one is good enough for heaven. We are all sinners and not worthy of heaven. Where is the forgiveness in this case...AMEN+
Christ said that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church.

dios lo vendiga padre corapi
This may make Christians not get justice
I love how quickly EWTN swept this man and Father Benedict under the rug and replaced them.
What Father is speaking of I saw coming in the seventies. I knew that with one thing comes another. Our Episcopalian friends accepted women clergy. Equal right? But then it comes. Feminist theology. Goddess worship. In our own Catholic church we have women religious saying "we have come past Jesus..the goddess is our only meaningful person now. And in our Church! HEAD FATIMA!
Anyone who believes that Cathoilic Priests are too easy on corruption, or purveyors of the sin itself should hear this!
I have thought for a long time that the rejection of Humana vitae was like the great revolt that was to precede the antichrist.
Encyslical Humanae Vitae is a letter from church doctrine on the vitality and importance of life. Not just the sacred ness of life but the necessity of human life in the human condition.
@Raffzeee
Yes!
I like to see this man in politics , sadly he a dead man , truth kills today it happened to Jesus he spoked the truth , Paul got his head caught off , have we changed ,ask men like Martin Luther King etc etc your a dead man this gives me the power to choose I might take Paul place one day I love Jesus
They change words to pretty up their "evils"
for example, take 3 different words that technicaly mean the same thing:
1. Baby Killers
2. Abortion
3. Pro-choice
"abortion" sounds morally better than "baby-killers" and "pro-choice" sounds morally better than "abortion".
@HolyCatholicApostoli
You got it!! Cheers!!
Its outrageous that churches have removed crucifixs and the tabernacles! I didnt know that! Wow, that's insane! How can they justify such an affront to God? If my church did that, we would have had every person in my congration go crazy!
His voice reminds me so much of Jesse Ventura, if Jesse Ventura wasn't a liberal hell seeker, that is. :)
@HolyCatholicApostoli
Amen! Amen! Amen!
Either we Wake ourselves up or God does it for us. I pray that God doesn't have to for if he does it will not be pretty

@Hookyann1 so when one is in error and you oblgate yourself to pray for them you also call them an idiot ?
Is that what the master would do ?

Corapi's talk about sin, and after my priest friend offered mass for me, and after my dad's suffering in the hospital after a heart bypass, only then was i freed from smoking.
I think he gets severe headaches. Perhaps that is why he squints?
Sad to see such a great spokesman for the church get snagged by the very things he preached against. It is abundantly clear that pride consumed this once humble warrior of the the gospel.
Where did you get those statistics that a 1,000,000 Europeans attend the Tridentine Latin Mass?
When you scandalize the world you need to be reprimanded.
@alemila1972 . You speak Crapi too. I thought Jesus was reported to have said not to judge others?
@DustinKoffman
Meanings yes to Raffzeee's comment.
@TheCannonofMohammed As G.K. Chesterton aptly put it, "Don't you see that we're all in the same boat? Yes, and we're all jolly sea-sick."

@MrNaturalMan Will end with 1 only fait, the Catholic Church.
Speaking of corruption......
Just to clarify. I am drbobrd. My wife made the above statement. Although I am her husband I don't agree with her! And by the way, I going to hell, so don't feel so bad :)
@dognruth No one is throwing stones, but, priests who have been led astray and are not doing their job should not be catered to, as they have been. Many of us wander from parish to parish for daily Mass, avoiding the really bad ones. Sitting through a homily being called sinful and bad b/c we aren't "marching" against AZ b/c of their law: I will not tolerate it any more.
I like this guy. Too bad he is part of such a corrupt institution.
@shipof conversion to what? catholic?
@drbobrd hahahahaha, Lets all worship Mary, and bow down to ildols. Oh I am glad I am going to purgatory!
@dognruth I don't judge them for personal weakness, but, for promoting what is wrong, and actively opposing people who are trying to live the way they are supposed to. Purporting their silly political views giving them the authority of the Church when it doesn't and using the captive audience of Massgoers to shove it down our throats. I resent that very much.

He should have done some real penance and left out the makeover - teeth and dying the beard. A man who went from one extreme way of living to another. An American priest for an American public.
Father speaks Crapi.
