Father Corapi's local call-in show will run from 5 to 6 p.m. on July 15, 22 and 29 and Aug. 5 on Rochester's WHIC 1460-AM and Buffalo's 101.7-FM, which both are operated by Holy Family Communications. Listeners who wish to call in and talk to Father Corapi should call 1-877-511-5483 during the listed times. Listeners also can tune into the show online at www.wlof.net.
... will turn out markedly different than this one:
Catholics throughout the 12-county Diocese of Rochester can get answers to these and any other questions about the Church and their faith during a special toll-free "Catholic Call In" on May 19, 2008, between 2 and 8 p.m. The Call-In previously scheduled for April 22 was canceled due to technical difficulties.
The number is 1-888-477-1718.
The Call-in is just one part of a diocesanwide, three-year Spiritual Renewal called Spirit Alive!It was initiated by Bishop Matthew Clark in Lent 2008. Spirit Alive! will have three movements: Deepening one’s personal relationship with Jesus Christ, deepening one’s knowledge and understanding of the Word and deepening one’s commitment to discipleship and stewardship.
I'm very much looking forward to Fr. Corapi's segments. It would be an interesting exercise if members of the Diocese of Rochester called in with questions about the aberrant practices that are commonplace there, e.g., lay preaching during the time reserved for the homily, parish administrators serving as permanent pastors, women's ordination promoted in parish publications, self-intinction of the host in the Precious Blood, liturgical dancing, standing during the consecration, etc. There would be no need to "name names" or parishes; just cite the offense and listen to Fr. Corapi give the teaching.

You're right. Nobody is going to do the second one.

I was contemplating posting something similar earlier, but lacked the time and energy
I wonder just how helpful it would be to ask/discuss heterodoxy with someone as hard-hitting as Fr. Corapi. My guess is that it would certainly do more good than asking anyone else to discuss it.

Someone has to stir the pot. At least there will be an alternative voice to oppose this 30 year influence. Perhaps all that can be done is to awaken the Spirit that has been dead in so many people in this diocese.
Fr. Corapi rocks! I was offered a ticket to his Buffalo appearance but had to turn it down :-(
I'd pay money to hear Fr Corapi and Ray Grosswirth debate.
"I'd pay money to hear Fr Corapi and Ray Grosswirth debate."
I would like someone to organize that.
I'd pay to have Fr. Corapi and the U of R religion department ("Fr." Cadorette and Anne Merideth) debate
or to hear him and the Bishop debate...
something tells me Orthodoxy would put a whoopin' on 'em!
Debating them will never happen. These people operate only when they have complete control...control of the media, parishes. They thrive when they can pull the woll over the eyes of people and they do not like anyone dissenting from their views. How ironic. These people dissent from the teachings of tha majesterium and have done so for 30 years, yet squash any true debate over so many issues. They really have things to hids and could never allow the truth to escape.
I tuned in today, but I didn't hear any question and answer session. Rather a speech of his took place during the 5-6 hour. Did I turn in to the wrong station, was it at a different time, or has it been rescheduled?
Anon. 6:33,
I heard the same thing; 'not sure what happened.
Did the DoR intentionally feed us some misinformation about the time given his orthodoxy?
Doubtful. It was probably just a scheduling hassle.
I noticed the same thing when I tuned in. Not that the story of his life is not interesting, it is very moving and powerful indeed!, but I am eager to hear him answer some Catholic questions asked by local Catholics. Hopefully the Q&A will take place as scheduled next Wednesday.

I would love to call into the second one:
"Bishop Clark, can you tell me how minimizing the importance of priests in your diocese by replacing them with lay people and female religious will encourage more young men to dedicate their lives to the priesthood?"
