I am wondering why he has not dealt with this matter on an earlier stage by resigning.
Instead he decided to portray this kind of behavior.

He may have a personality disorder.

[torigirl666]

Yes he has a peronality disorder for being a grown man and having a romatic affair with a grown woman???? what a stupid thing to say.............are you really saying they should punish him for that? yea they let other priest get away for raping children????

[All4ME]

The feature that was missed by everyone is that Father Cutie was on the BEACH in MIAMI embracing a woman.

There is probably no more public a venue in Miami than the beach! What was Fr. Cutie trying to achieve? Was it a case of "Please catch me"?

Fr. Cutie is a public figure with a television career. Commentator says that Fr. Cutie "is followed by millions and millions of people". The odds were good that one of those followers would spot Fr. Cutie out there -- a follower with a cell phone with a camera?

BTW, sorry to point out the obvious, but putting your arms around a woman does not mean that he 'went all the way' -- he could still be practicing abstinence, er I mean celibacy! (this just looks like the laying on of hands, nyuk nyuk).

(sorry, I am just juvenile enough to enjoy writing one more time FATHER CUTIE)

Show 'em Alberto!! Pop everyone's cherry!!

[elcojonu]

Celibacy has always been a JOKE.
I have personally seen Priests and Monsigniors in civilian clothes at W...e Houses overseas.

Pobre Padre Alberto!

He was a young, good looking, charismatic guy who had honest intentions when he became a priest. But imagine his life for a second. He lives in Miami and see beautiful latina girls everywhere and sexy bikinis on every beach. He becomes a quasi-celebrity, and attends parties with gorgeous women who often flaunt their beauty and sexuality. He falls victim to the flesh.

Another one bits the dust.

[corvuscorax51]

Hallelujah!!! A normal priest. And the Catholic Church throws him out far more quickly than they ever have tossed out a priest accused of canoodling with a boy.

[pinkindie]

Alberto "Cutie"?? Ha! Sounds like a Danielle Steele novel!

[shediac]

Well there goes his invite to Notre Dame!

[Mauiloa]

Wow! A priest who likes real women and not little boys.

CONDEMN HIM! STONE HIM! THROW HIM OUT!

All sarcasm aside, maybe this situation will bring a ridiculous 11th century rule out in the open where it can be discussed by all who are affected; including the priests, the Church hierarchy and the hundreds of millions of Catholics in the world.

Male sexual desires are among the strongest biological urges in the animal world and - like it or not - we have evolved within that world. This is not going to change.

If the Catholic Church is truly interested in ministering to its "flock", it should stop forcing its priests to deny their true nature. I have no doubt that when this policy changes, so will the overwhelming number of incidents of priestly pedophilia, alcoholism, drug abuse and mental problems like depression.

[Horus45]

Sheesh, imagine how they would react if he was doing it to a young boy.

I think the Celibacy requirement for Catholic Priests is outdated and unrealistic.
Priests should be allowed to marry now.
Clergy marrying has NOT hurt any other religion!

[TheFriendlyAtheist]

Someone is surprised at bad behavior in a priest? Here in my little town we just threw another one in jail for molesting boys.

HYPOCHRISTIAN

[captainindustry]

it's been since the 11th century that the codified celebacy. like that gives it credibility.

how can anyone take this seriously.

[MorpheusXNYC]

Does everyone here realize that the ONLY reason priests are not allowed to marry is so that the Catholic church can take all their possessions when they die? That's it. That's the only reason.

Celibacy is insanity.

[NeverHadFaith]

I hate religion. Some people are saying, "At least it wasn't with a boy.". OMG.

Maybe the girl was Sarah Palin? They have something in common.

BTW, this shouldn't be tolerated. He should be deflocked. Kicked out.
