Religion Remember That Catholic Priest Who Got Caught Kissing a Woman?

Posted by on Thu, May 28, 2009 at 3:45 PM

And the Catholic church suspended him and told him he would have to choose between the priesthood and his girlfriend? Well, he chose the priesthood—the the Episcopal priesthood.

Father Alberto Cutie, an internationally known Catholic priest who admitted having a romantic affair and breaking his vow of celibacy, is joining the Episcopal Church to be with the woman he loves, he said Thursday.

That is a beautiful ending to a silly story. Well played, priest-man!

The Catholic Church is too often its own worst enemy.

Welcome to the church, you sexy man!

Remember, Latin may be for Lovers, but so is the Episcopal Church!

Just darling. Vows can be ignored when it's inconvenient. I bet he doesn't stop telling others how to behave according to whatever convenient "Christian" beliefs he follows next. No doubt next will come the divorce and lawsuits.

Maybe he should get married then reconvert back to RC church.

Or, maybe all the Catholics should move into the Episcopal church it would liven it up a bit. Catholics are better sinners, after all.

@9 - technically, it is possible. Or I should say both are possible.

If she had been 12 he would have had the option of moving to another state.
