CatholicOnline: The Rev. John Corapi, a nationally televised Roman Catholic priest, known for his no-nonsense style and declarations of “My mother [Mary] wears combat boots,” has declared that he is leaving the priesthood. Accused of sexual misconduct by a female employee, Corapi posted a video on his Web site in which he said that there are “persons in authority in the Church that want me gone.” The 64-year-old also blasted church officials for their “fatally flawed” handling of allegations against him.
