It had come to Fr. Corapi's attention that a female lay person on his staff was profiting off of his works and she was fired. According to Corapi, this person threatened to bring down Father Corapi. She made allegations of sexual affairs, drug use and other anti-Church teachings. Corapi utilized his American rights to defend himself through the courts. The first thing his holy orders, The Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity, did was to suspend the Father pending an investigation. SOLT demanded that he give up his lawsuit. Without any help from his Orders, he decided not to give up this lawsuit but to resign instead. SOLT then demanded that he return to his Orders and he said no. It didn't matter if the allegations were false, SOLT decided to release to the press all the allegations against him. In addition, SOLT said his vow of poverty was broken by his numerous assets.

Corapi has left Holy orders and has no intention of returning. By Catholic law, he is still a priest. His faculties were suspended, such as dispensing of the Eucharist. Currently, he markets himself as The Black Sheepdog through various media channels, [[social media]] and books. This dramatic shift in his life appears to have taken a toll on his confidence and speaking authority. [http://www.youtube.com/user/TheBlackSheepdog1#p/a/u/1/m9HEIvVBZK0 See Video]

 

Technically, he is still a priest. His faculties were suspended, such as dispensing of the Eucharist.

 

Father Corapi perfectly explains this "theological no-brainer" when describing the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The greatest evil ever.... the creatures killing the Creator, [[Deicide]]. Yet, the greatest Good has come out of it, Jesus's redemption for mankind. <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2PsB5T5Ndo New War/Old War] YouTube</ref> God permits evil to bring a greater good about.
