Father John Corapi -- the popular author, television lecturer, and preacher who has speaking engagements all over the world -- has been placed on administrative leave from priestly ministry over an accusation of misconduct, the National Catholic Reporter website reports today (March 21, 2011).
Father Gerard Sheehan -- a spokesman for Father Corapi's community -- said, "We have received an allegation that Father Corapi has behaved in a manner unbecoming of a priest and we are duty-bound to conduct an investigation into this accusation."
On his own website -- www.fathercorapi.com -- Father Corapi said that he learned that a former employee sent a three-page letter to several bishops, accusing him of sexual misconduct with her and several other adult women.
Father Corapi,63, said, "All of the allegations in the complaint are false."
