Santa Cruz Media has released a statement concerning the Fr. Corapi situation. I think it would be an understatement to say that they’re siding with Fr. Corapi. While they don’t name the accuser they call her a disgruntled former employee who literally went out swinging and swearing to take down Fr. Corapi.
Check out the full statement at Less Femmes, The Truth:
Santa Cruz Media, Inc. is the owner of all of Fr. John Corapi’s intellectual property and the DVDs, CDs, and books that flow from it. We are a secular corporation and not affiliated with the Catholic Church in any way. As such, we are not under the jurisdiction of any bishop or other official in the Catholic Church, although we have the utmost respect for Church authority.
We fully support Rev. John Corapi in this terrible trial, not surprisingly having begun on Ash Wednesday. Through the sacrifice and struggle of the desert and all of the dark moments that this entails, we are confident that the glory of the risen Lord will shine forth from the power of the Resurrection and Easter.

I believe many people would like to believe that F. Corapi gives away alls his profits. But there's a huge amount of naivete in that assumption. The man loves money. He would be advertising and selling so many DVD's if he didn't. He's a capitalist preach who have over step his bounds just like so many preachers before him. He will ultimately have to answer to God for his deeds.

re: Anonymous who said, "He doesn't need a defense anymore than Jesus needed a defense. If he speaks the truth, all will take care of itself."
You mean, like crucifixion?
Assuming Fr. Corapi does not have the powers of resurrection, I wouldn't trust anything to work out with a mob scene.

Personally, I don't believe Fr. Corapi is a sex maniac or drug addict. And never will accept that Fr. Corapi is a sex maniac or drug addict no matter what the outcome of this investigation of Fr. Corapi says and I think the people who say that Fr. Corapi is a sex maniac or drug addict clearly do not know him. He is a good Catholic priest. Fr. Corapi is not a sex maniac nor is he a drug user.
