OMIGOSH! So there I was looking out my window...
And I saw poodles running.
.
Well, just a bald guy walking a big black poodle!
.
So what has happened to Corapi? No one covers him any longer.
He spent so many years selling the gospel, I wonder how he will package belief, in his new series?
Or if any of the 'God' channels will pick him up. I am just thinking from a purely business point of view here. Joyce Myers, who I like to listen to, because she makes my esteem rise for a good two hours (better than any booze and without the hangover)and gives me clever arsed sounding sentences to use on the kids (the grown ones) to get them to behave, has a huge following and owns a house worth about nine million, I believe.
There are many fundamentalist Protestants, who are anti-Catholic aswell, so an 'ex'-priest with a 'soldierish' sounding gospel message would really make some serious dosh.
Not that John Corapi would ever exploit such a business opportunity, were it to present itself, ofcourse.
And a poodle in the snow on this feast of Our Lady of the Snow...
Terry, are you on heavy drugs for your eye situation? What's the status on that btw? My mother went through this a few years ago (with both eyes actually) and laser surgery did the trick.
"Pray that he is seeking help and is staying out of the limelight on purpose. Whether he brought it on himself or not, it is one very deep crash."
I do pray for him and hope he is dismantling his act, rather than 'getting it together'.
However, I don't believe he should be selling any more goods to innocent souls, they need prayers and protection too. It's not ALL about John Corapi. He has at least fifty six thousand 'fans' who pay good cash to hear where they are going wrong and what to expect on Judgment day. I bought his wares myself, they helped me approach Our Lady. His addiction CD made me see his vulnerability, again, good, It didn't help me get sober.

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least:
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee,--and then my state
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings'. - Sonnet 29
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you and for those who do not, especially the enemies of the Church and those recommended to you.
Holy Name of Jesus
Arise O Lord and let your enemies be scattered, and let those that hate you flee before you!"
Welcome to the original Abbey-Roads!
What a dump!

I'm against it!
Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
Show us your face and we shall be saved. "Each soul is the object of My special love. That is why I am so grateful to those who are resourceful and bringing back sinners to Me. Keep this in mind then. I gave My life for them in the most atrocious torture, for these poor beloved ones. A humble repentance, and they are already on My heart. So speak gently to them. Speak with tenderness. A brusque remark could drive them farther away." - He and I
That's a very cute poodle. :-)
ReplyDeleteAlso,
ReplyDeleteI saw poo-oodles / flow-owing-i-ing / from the right side of the te-e-em-ple.
I wonder what he'll wear in the next video?

Thom, LOL, baaaad!
ReplyDeleteNow I'll be hearing that tune in my head all day.

Melody, every time I hear it it becomes lodged in my head, too.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. :-)
Little bit here.
ReplyDeleteAlso stop by Crying for Corapi if you like.

His prices made me see his victims.
