Father Alberto Cutie's decision was a difficult one, but his options were simple. Alberto Cutie had to choose to dump his girlfriend Ruhama Buni Canellis or remain with the Roman Catholic Church.
The prominent Latin priest chose his lady friend and has joined the Episcopal Church instead.
Father Oprah gave a press conference on Thursday where he announced the news. The Episcopal bishop, a half-dozen Episcopal priests and his girlfriend Ruhama Buni Canellis were all standing behind him. During the conference, Alberto didn't mention his scandalous relationship or his future with his ho.
He did say in a statement that he "began to have spiritual and deep ideological struggles" and "has seen the ways that many of my brothers serve God as married men, with the blessing of forming a family."
Cutie was removed from his Miami Beach Catholic church after photos of him smooching and embracing a woman appeared in the pages of a Spanish-language magazine earlier this month. With his leading man good looks, appearances in local newspapers' social pages and as the host of a TV show, Cutie is one of South Florida's most recognizable characters.
Alberto is scheduled to deliver a sermon at his new church this Sunday. The Episcopal Church allows its priests to engage in grown folk's business while the Catholic Church requires them to be celibate.
Play on, playa!

I think the Catholic church's oppressive ideas on sex and spirituality probably led to, if not exacerbated the effed up and repressed sexuality of its priests.
Had those men been able to use their God-given, natural sexuality, they would not have to resort to perversion. I'm not making excuses, because they were wrong, each one of them. And they all should have been punished....
but if Catholicism would allow priests to marry, then the pedophiles would stick out like sore thumbs and not be able to blend in or hide behind the church.

"You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist." -Friedrich Nietzsche
The Bible says that it is not good for man to live alone. From a pure evolutionary perspective though, we are social beings. He like most people was doing what was natural to him and he gravitated to that. It is pure biology to do the durty gurdy. Our bodies were designed not only to communicate with each other, but to engage in sex, and not just to procreate, to release all the AHHH! we have in our lives whether you are hetero, homo, asexual (it happens and I wanna know how y’all get down with or without yourself). There has to be a release, and you can’t tell me the euphoria of the ooooo la la orgasm can be reached by singing hymns and burning incense all day, but this is only my narrow minded view, shame on me because you can look at Buddhist monks and they appear to be liberated from the urge to pump and bump. Maybe that is true enlightenment, who knows.
Who made up the rule that a hardcore grrrr! religious person is “pure” and that purity = celibacy? I never understood that. Why deny the desires of the heart and the loins. Unzip the heart and the pants. The heart was designed to be worn on the sleeve and your buttermint, well… it needs to be someone’s mouth already.
Loving someone does not make them any less spiritual, it makes them ummm… human. Repression is oppression, and oppression is slavery, mental slavery if you will. Why all of a sudden am I humming Bob Marley, sing it with me now everyone, “Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind” Awwww… I feel better now.
"Freedom is the will to be responsible to ourselves" -Friedrich Nietzsche
Good for Cutie! Tap that booty. He is at peace with his decision and that is all that matters. Amen :-)
