Alberto Cutie -- 'Father Oprah' forced to resign for liking ladies
Attention Catholic priests: stay away from the ladies. Catholic priest pro tip: don't get caught frolicking with a bikini babe on the beach if you want to keep your job.Just ask Alberto Cutie, celebrity padre and former head of St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Miami Beach, FL.
He's been forced to resign after pictures of him rolling around in the sand with young lady surfaced in the popular Hispanic magazine TV Notas.
From cbs4.com:
Popular priest Alberto Cutie, who's been seen worldwide on Spanish-language TV shows, has been quickly relieved of his duties running his Catholic church and the Catholic radio station of the Archdiocese of Miami.
t's a swift reaction by the Archdiocese of Miami after photographs surfaced of Cutie and an unidentified woman caressing and kissing each other while in bathing suits on the beach. Sources say the photos were taken in February. TV NOTAS Magazine will have an 8-page spread when the publication hits the news stands on Thursday.
Some of the photos were obtained by our news partner at the Miami Herald, and they showed Cutie locked in an embrace with the woman. The photographer has also not been identified, but according to the Herald, he had initially tried to sell the photos to MEGATV for several thousand dollars. But his offer was turned down.
The photos raise a question: did Cutie, who was ordained as a priest in 1995, break his church-cherished vow of celibacy?
"The vow of celibacy really means there is a commitment outside the vow that stresses the focus on the holy order," said Archdiocese of Miami spokeswoman Mary Ross Agosta. "The vow of celibacy is there for a reason."
