Some have maintained that the statement issued by Santa Cruz Media was in some way, disobedient, inappropriate or misleading. Taking it at face value, I see it merely as additional positive confirmation of the facts alleged in Father Corapi's original statement.
By now, many have figured out that Santa Cruz Media Inc. is a corporation of which the CEO and registered agent appears to be none other than Father John Corapi. I say, "So what?" For a host of reasons, running a business through a corporation is a smart way to go. Furthermore the statement of Bobbi Ruffatto, Vice President of Operations at Santa Cruz Media, stands on its own as the best, first hand, eye-witness testimony we have, so far. I'm grateful for that.
As for the part about the corporation being a private, secular corporation, not under the jurisdiction of the Catholic Church: Of course that's true! And because of that, there is absolutely no reason for Santa Cruz Media to suspend normal business operations, even though Father Corapi has been temporarily suspended from his ministry.
Some have also assumed that Father Corapi had taken a vow of poverty something which seems very unlikely, based on his apparent living arrangements. But even if he did, there's nothing to say that he couldn't have been dispensed from that vow.
Then we have others who are concerned that Father Corapi has been looking rather tan and has apparently been dying his hair. Again I say, "So what?" The man has been sick, he's no spring chicken, and he's smart to maintain his appearance especially since he regularly appears on television. A nice tan and a bit of hair color makes you look alive for the camera and it also minimizes the need for a lot of troublesome and tedious makeup.
In this age of 1080p HD TV such things are more important than ever especially for those who already have a lot of miles on them. Ask anyone in the industry!
Now about that late model BMW automobile that Father Corapi allegedly chooses to drive
