Rev. Alberto Cutié is a Catholic priest in Miami who is in the middle of a scandal. “Father Oprah” as he is called by many was caught hugging and kissing a woman on a beach. The local press had their story of the year and the cavorting man of church had to come clean to the great dismay of all his parishioners and the Archdiocese of Miami.
Today, Father Cutié announced he was leaving the Catholic church to pursue the priesthood in the Episcopal Church so he could marry his 2-year old girlfriend.
To become a priest, he took the vow of celibacy but could not resist temptation and his human instincts. Here’s a grown man with a grown woman, having a heterosexual relationship and this man is treated like he was the vilest man on earth, having to switch religions so he could have a normal and decent life.
In the meantime, hundreds of priest have abused thousands of kids and they are still roaming free like the wind. The have destroyed lives and one priest even had the audacity to say:
“We all considered sexual abuse of minors as a moral evil, but had no understanding of its criminal nature.”
Pretty lame as an excuse, isn’t it?
And the best one:
“Accepted naively the common view that it was not necessary to worry about the effects on the youngsters: either they would not remember or they would ‘grow out of it’.”
And then people wonder why it is harder for people to go to church and believe in something.
Good luck, Father Cutié.
Till then…
