Guest Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Just heard this on facebook. He has a youtube video saying He isn't a priest anymore. He is now going by the name black sheep dog. I wonder if he will remain catholic ? Gotta be honest this put doubts in my mind. I don't know what the bishops are thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I'm thinking this will get closed like the last thread that announced it. Either way we should pray for him, for his accuser, and for the faiths of those who will be shaken by this. Saint John Vianney, pray for our priests!

BG45 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 You'd have to ask the mods. My personal guess would be that the Black Sheep Dog's statement could be construed as an attack on the Church in violation of the Phorum Guidelines, or that there's a risk of it becoming an embittered Catholic on Catholic Debate. Below is the one reply to the other thread. [quote]thank you for posting this, and I believe that we should continue praying for the situation. But, I will be closing this thread.

Nihil Obstat Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 If I understand correctly, he will be suspended indefinitely... so he is still a priest, but publicly he is only permitted to act as a layman. Afaik that still entails private Masses, and emergency confessions.This is, of course, assuming that he won't be defrocked or laicized, and I found his statement a bit ambiguous. Most important part: Please pray to St. Jean Vianney for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryansouf504 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 This is sad.... Click to hear the recorded statement.... Lets pray for him. http://www.patheos.com/community/deaconsbench/2011/06/17/fr-corapi-speaks-im-not-going-to-be-involved-in-ministry-as-a-priest-anymore/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totus Tuus Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 He is a priest and will always be a priest. He did not say that he isn't a priest anymore. He said he is not practicing public ministry anymore. Praying hard for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just won't be active in his ministry as a priest any longer. I would hope that he stays Catholic. Being Catholic is bigger than any one active ministry. But we should just love him and accept him for who he is....because the world needs more love. You need more love. We all need more love. I need more love. I love you. Jesus is love.

socalscout Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I'm floored. I had not idea he was under scrutiny. I have listened to his cd about his life at least 10 times and have found it to be an inspiration each time. I can only comment on my emotions and nothing else. Black Sheep Dog?
