Father Corapi Ready to Hit the Road Againby Anthony Flott
Father John Corapi gets on a phone in his Montana office and asks someone to boost the volume. The assistant who helped arrange an interview with him had warned about this. "Speak loudly," she said, "he’s hard of hearing."
Father Corapi himself has never been hard to hear. For nearly two decades, his thundering voice has preached the Gospel with a forceful, meat-and-potatoes theology that’s made him among the most recognizable priests in the world.
But since August 2007, that voice has been relatively silent. At first, that was by choice — having traveled more than 2 million miles spreading the good news, Father Corapi quit public speaking to focus on writings and recordings. But just one week into that hiatus, a mysterious sickness began to ravage his body and left him mostly bedridden.
He’s recovering now and has headed back to the speaking circuit.
On Aug. 15, Father Corapi, a member of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity, will preach publicly for the first time in nearly two years, speaking on "The Lord and Giver of Life!" at a conference at HSBC Arena in Buffalo, N.Y.
Register correspondent Anthony Flott spoke with Father Corapi.
