Update regarding Fr. Corapi
EWTN
Patheos
Jimmy Akin
Let us pray for him. I can see a time when his name will no longer be mentioned in [Catholic] polite society.
We can't look up to many priests and religious because of their failings... but as lay people should we be looking to them as models for the lay vocation? (As opposed to general models of sanctity.) What are lay people to do? They could look to Dorothy Day, Peter Maurin, or Catherine Doherty of Madonna House. Too ascetic? Too celibate? What can we do to embrace simplicity and build up our local communities?
"You gotta wait until they're dead..." An application of Aristotle's dictum about happiness applied to the supernatural and judging their personal holiness?
Who should be giving inspired preaching and leadership to the faithful? Our bishops and their collaborators the diocesan priests. They may not have the gift, as Fr. Corapi supposedly did, but they could ask for it. There is much they could do to improve their homilies, making them more immersed in doctrine, the Fathers, etc. Perhaps the homily itself needs to be revisited. At least it is arguable that the preaching codified by Trent was effective.
