From The Miami Herald:
The Rev. Alberto Cutié, a national figure with movie star looks, was removed from his Miami Beach church Tuesday after photographs appeared in a magazine showing him frolicking with a woman in the sand on a Florida beach.
A wildly popular Catholic priest, newspaper columnist and radio and television personality, Cutié will no longer run operations or say Sunday Mass at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church.
Word of Cutié’s punishment came during a brief news conference in front of a small gathering of reporters at the Archdiocese of Miami headquarters on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami Shores.
”The vow of celibacy is part of the ordination,” said spokeswoman Mary Ross Agosta. “A man who is a priest is able to totally focus on the church.”
So the Priest tapped some ass. Big deal. If we can perform face-transplant surgeries, I think the time has come to end the vow of celibacy.
Demonstrations supporting Father Cutie are planned for tomorrow according to local television reports (except they don’t print what they telecast).
Artfully, I pose to you this very issue…

He’s no Father Ralph, but I wonder if he’ll turn out to be like Richard Chamberlain. Hmmmmm. Well that would fit right with the church, now wouldn’t it?

Fit in.

that girl could just be one of his close female relatives in need of intense spiritual solace.

y’all stop thrashin the clergy like that.
if it weren’t for them none of that erotic art from classical antiquity would have survived.

This guy is a total rock star on Telemundo. If you click on one of the links, you can see him in Italy getting jiggy with the Pope. There is actually a legitimate discussion now concerning the vow of celibacy.
The problem, on a theological level, is the rules of The Church are theirs as handed down by God. Thus, they must be followed. Unless the girl is really, really, hot.
@PCL: That was just a play on words I was doing. Padre’s been fitting in nicely by looking at the pics.

customary celibacy for all paleo-christians was abandonned before the fall of rome.
the current fashion for a celibate clergy began in response to the custom and laws of inherited occupations.
the ethnic germans wanted to break the stranglehold that the ethnic roman senatorial class still held on the bureaucracy, right into the age of charlemagne.
it just so happened that making the clergy taboo also made them so desirable.
