"In the wake of being suspended over what he claims are unproven allegations, popular speaker Fr. John Corapi announced that after 20 years in ministry, he is leaving the Catholic priesthood.
'I am not going to be involved in public ministry as a priest any longer,' he said in an online post. 'There are certain persons in authority in the Church that want me gone, and I shall be gone.'
In a June 17 post on a website with the title of his new ministry 'Black Sheep Dog,' and a related YouTube video clip, Fr. Corapi outlined his reasons for leaving.
He said that he feels unjustly accused, that the process of clearing his name has been too sluggish and that there are authorities in the Church who are intentionally trying to oust him.
Fr. Corapi's decision comes while he is on administrative leave, which his religious superiors placed him on this past March, following allegations of misconduct."
