JAWEED KALEEM

I'll bet Jay-weed had a thrill writing this story.

''I'm a man,'' he said. ``Under the cassock there are pants.

Forget Jesus Christ and the vows taken just think about what's behind the pants. Behavior not very cute, disgraced Fr. Cutie!

[Ann Archy]

He needs to leave the Priesthood PRONTO!! Look out Episcopalians!!

[IbJensen]

What I find more outrageous than the actions of the Rev. Alberto Cutié, who succumbed to weaknesses we all possess, is that the impassioned speeches and cries for or against change are coming from those whose lives will not be directly affected by such a decision.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Just another item on Satan’s agenda.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Look out Episcopalians!!

Hell, he's nothing to the Episcopalians. To irk them you'd have to be having a homosexual affair with a goat to whom you were already related. And even that's under consideration.

Why is this even in the new?

[Future Snake Eater]

Maybe b/c I’m not Catholic, I don’t see why this is such a huge deal, but if he took an oath and hasn’t held up his end of the deal, then he should go ahead and resign. He can be married and a pastor at a Protestant church if he still feels called to serve God. His comment about the Episcopalians was entertaining—they’re the last ones I’d go to for relationship counsel!

[IbJensen]

I suppose it's a Roman Catholic thing.

With everything that's happened after Vatican II the novus ordo church has become a cafeteria-style religion.

[IbJensen]

Well, unfortunately and of course, it's not new(s).

Forgetting one's vows is becoming old hat in the Church subsequent to Vatican II (as stated above) and priests feel they can forget what was promised at ordination and walk away.

[Popman]

Personally, he should be stoned. < / s >

[vox_freedom]

This scandal was caused by the infidelity of this priest and he will be held accountable by the Church and God. He made solemn vows to God and the Church that he would be faithful but he succumbed to temptations of the flesh. Shameful and scandalous. He violated his vows, and now puts on a righteous attitude to try and defend the indefensible.

If he had “feelings” for this woman, he could have left the priesthood before scandalizing thousands with his sinful behavior — after all, didn't he hear confessions of those who committed adultery and fornication and preach about temptations and sin?

Now Cutie causes greater scandal by attempting to justify his behavior by saying it was caused by normal compulsions. Christ Himself resisted Satan's temptations and triumphed as God made Man to offer hope and salvation for all mankind.

I'll pray for this priest that he might recognize his sinful ways and repents, but I doubt he will do so. He is only digging the hole deeper for himself by his public proclamations...

[hinckley buzzard]

Just another narcissistic priest whose crotch got him in trouble. Happens all the time. That's why there is a TEC for him to run to. They don't care about anything except UN spending schemes.

[Rebelbase]

I agree, and those on this thread feigning indignation are forgetting about the planks in their own eyes.

The Pope deserves more condemnation for his tacit approval of abortion by allowing the genocidal Catholic politicians to remain in the church.

[Lucretia Borgia]

Rev. Alberto Cutié

Rev. Alberto Cutié!

I'm sorry, his name just cracks me up.

[Gay State Conservative]

Why are some Catholic priests allowed to be married and others aren't.It makes no sense.Either Christ wants *all* of His vicars to be allowed to marry or He wants *none* of them to be.The need for intimate companionship (with someone of the opposite gender) is God-given,normal and natural.I can't,for the life of me,understand the demand for total,lifelong celibacy for *some*,but not *all*,Catholic priests.

[babygene]

“Forgetting one’s vows is becoming old hat”

I’m Catholic, yet I don’t always behave in accordance with the teachings of the Church. That’s not news either...

[ovrtaxt]

Oh brother.

Why do people even care about this? Would it make the news if he was caught with a DUDE on South Beach? Doubt it.

[Northern Yankee]

Listening to a talk give by Father Hoffman (Order of Opus Dei) last night. He talked of meeting men who had left the priesthood. The comments they mentioned over and over again to Father Hoffman was not to forget to pray, and spend time before the Blessed Sacrament.

It appears Father Cutie` has forgotten to do both. He is in need of prayers.

[Wilhelm Tell]

He needs to leave the Priesthood PRONTO!! Look out Episcopalians!!

Actually, the Episcopalians would find it scandalous that a priest gave up his vows for a WOMAN! That is hopelessly old fashioned. Now, if he wanted to get married to another man, he would be qualified to be a Bishop in many mainline Protestant denominations.
