Former Father Albert:
I will not point my finger at you nor will I join the drama around the issue you are involved. I don't want to know any further on what happened, it is your life but you have deeply hurt the Catholic Church and you had no right to do it.
That is precisely the point I wish to mention, you could have left the Catholic Church "colgar los habitos" when you found out you could or would have a relationship, once away from the church take a short time to get yourself together and then do whatever you pleased with your life but unfortunately you have cheated on the Catholic Church and that is what is absolutely wrong.
I am sorry for all this, it has already happened and so be it.

Palabras para el Padre Alberto: En este momento podria decirle tantos versiculos de la biblia , pero se que usted se los sabe todos, es momento de escucharlos desde el fondo de su corazon y reconsiliarce con Dios nuestro Senor vea su rostro y encuentre la paz que solo EL puede dar El conoce su corazon y encuentre la verdad que solo esta en CRISTO JESUS , el mundo se goza cuando una alma se pierde ,y de su cuerpo y de su dignidad hacen comida y se sirven banquete en cambio Dios prepara mesa para los que en el creen sacien su hambre y sed eternamente solo Dios conoce la verdad y solo El lo juzgara errar es de humanos y rectificar es de los redimidos por la Sangre que vertio en la Cruz.DIOS LE AMA, a los demas recordemos no estamos libres de pecado , suelte su mano y tire la piedra al suelo

to the one below me.... if you so much want to point fingers to this priest i will tell you to start off by seeing yourself in a mirror and asking yourself do i ever sin? because we all do if you are married or not you still do... in the bible it says who ever is freed of sin trow the first rock, you and me are full of sin... the only ones who would be able to trow those rocks would be God and his beloved son Jesus... another thing in the bible says that in our difficulties and when we failed that is when God glorifies himself because we recognize that we are no1 w|o him... let me tell you something get more into your bible and then try to point fingers at some1 i don't agree of this men committing sin but i'm also no1 to judge him, and by the way I'm Christian and I don't judge him

I AGREE THAT HE SINNED BY HAVING SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THIS WOMAN (HE ADMITTED IN A SPANISH INTERVIEW W/ THERESA RODRIGUEZ), AND NOT BEING MARRIED, BECAUSE THATS WHAT HE PREACHED , THAT IS A BELIEF OF THE CATHOLIC RELIGION - NO PREMARITAL SEX. AND HOW IRONIC HE WHO SHOULD BE A GOOD EXAMPLE FALLS INTO LETTING HIMSELF BE SEDUCED BY THIS WOMAN. AND HE ACTS LIKE ITS NO BIG DEAL MAKING IT BE LIKE THAN WHY SHOULD ANYONE ELSE TRY TO FOLLOW THAT?? IF HE BEING A PRIEST CANT FOLLOW THAT PRINCIPLE?? HE REALLY IS GOING TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK WE DONT NEED TO FOLLOW ALL THESE COMMANDMENTS AND RULES, THAT ITS OK TO SIN AND MAKE MISTAKES, "oh GOD IS MERCIFUL AND WILL FORGIVE US ALL SO GO SIN" I THINK THAT IS THE WRONG MESSAGE HE IS SENDING

if celibacy was only created to keep properties from divorced wives or widows, why would father albert have chosen to go into the catholic priesthood to begin with. He chose to become a priest no one forced him and he knew it included celibacy. It was a promise he broke. IT does say it in the bible in the redings od st. Peter about the man that marries worries about worldly things and how to plases his wife and the one that is not marries is more preocupied with the things of God and how to please God. It also says it in Corinthians 7 25-40. Thats where the catholic church translates that priests who will primarily serve God and the church should not be married.
Now I think father Albert let us down in that he was supposed to be an example for us, to help us follow the churches beliefs.

For those of you out there that believe and sinned his only sin was to be with a divorced women, and not being married. He do not sin because he was a priest and fell in love that was a rule the Catholic put into rule because of there own interests. The first Pope was married and so were the disiples. The reason priests are not allowed to marry in the Catholic church goes back to early times when there were those the did get married and others that didn't and those that were married were leaving there properties to there families so the church establised this so when a priests dies everything is left to the church. Wow how Christian is that, and for those of you that read the bible it specificly says. Man is not to be alone that is why God created woman.

I AM VERY DISTURBED ABOUT THIS HORRIBLE NEWS, HOW COULD HE HAVE DONE SUCH ACT TO US CATHOLICS. HE COULD HAVE QUIT BEFORE HE DECIDED TO GO TO THE BEACH TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTED. NOW IS TO LATE FOR "I'M SORRIES" OR APOLOGIES! HE SHOULD JUST STOP THINKING WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO AND JUST GO AWAY, DISSAPEAR AND NOT BE A PRIEST ANYMORE AFTER THIS EMBARRASSING SITUATION!!! I HOPE HES SUPERIORS WON'T ALLOW HIM TO COME BACK!!! END OF STORY!!!!!

In our sex crazed society, it is so easy to fall into sin. It takes a tremendous reliance on God's grace to stay faithful whether in celibacy or in marriage. To argue that priests should be allowed to marry is a mote argument! Celebacy is a choice! Marriage is also a choice. If celebacy is so "unnormal" as some argue and impossible to live - and therefore only marriage is the answer - how do you explain the logic of the number of infidelity in marriages? Why would the option of marriage be the solution for "celibate priests" when so many can not be faithful to their marriage vows? There is an answer. Live what you profess, profess what you choose, and have a deep relationship with God.

RRivasCPA shows his ignorance and homophobia in one fell swoop. Pedophile priests are equal opportunity abusers. They are not all gay, and not all gay priests are pedophiles. It's incredible that someone could support a priest for breaking his vow of celibacy just because he's "straight." Cutie took a vow of celibacy. He betrayed it. And now he's giving interviews in which he sounds unrepentant. Leave the priesthood now. There's also some suggestion that this was a carefully orchestrated maneuver to silence growing rumors that he's actually gay. If that's true, his deception is even more disgusting. Of course, with bigots like RRivasCPA still around, it's understandable that Cutie would want his Hispanic parishioners and radio and TV audience to think he is straight.

Forbidding to marry is wrong can clearly be seen in I Timothy 4:1-3. Those who do so are those who have departed from the faith (vs.1)! Nonetheless, one may make a personal decision not to marry, provided that he or she does not succumb to the temptations that often befall a single person (I Corinthians 7:8-9). The apostle Paul is an example of one who chose not to marry! But this same apostle tells us in I Corinthians 7:1, “to avoid fornication, let every man have is own wife, and let every women have her own husband.” The sin of religious people and organizations relative to marriage (and many other issues) is that they make laws where God has not legislated. In other words, they proclaim a gospel that is different from the New Testament. These are to be accursed (Galatians 1:6-9)!

Agreed with David123
CELIBACY IS UN-SCRIPTURAL.

They are not imposing their believes. You choose to watch it or not.
Inquisition, that is imposing. Not having a religious tv show or channel or whatever.

Fr Alberto, I met you when u perform sacrament of marriage for my son. I always felt in my heart you were a strong man of faith. It seems Eve, did not stop and think of u Eve strikes again (Adam and Eve) Father is she a christian ? You both could have prayed and spoke to the Bishop or the Pope and let them know first at hand . Doing it your way was not the answer for any other priest who miight feel the same way. Now u are exploided with a woman and sex subjects. (Not the Bible or the Good News) Father I will keep u in both in my prayers. But as I attend the lay formation course. I ask myself did u and all religious men attended the same theology classes, because it is very deep.. I know Satan is very busy and to see a man fall in his trap , a man of strong faith scares me.

Martin Luther, a duly ordained Catholic priest who spearheaded the Protestant reformation in the 16th century, preached that the Holy Scriptures contained in the Old and New Testaments were the FINAL AUTHORITY in matters of faith and doctrine. If any teaching or church tradition came into direct conflict with the teaching of the scriptures, THE SCRIPTURE MUST ALWAYS PREVAIL! Requiring celibacy as a precondition of serving in the ministerial priesthood is clearly and absolutely un-scriptural, and therefore NOT BINDING upon a Christian.
The leaders of the Roman Catholic Church, going all the way back to when this erroneous tradition was instituted, will one day have to render an accounting to God for their stubborn disobedience to the clear teaching of the written Word of God.

This is a long story. The issue is not whether Alberto has been or has not been with a woman. The issue is why Catholic priests and the Catholic church feel entitled to dictate rules about how the rest of the world should live sexuality. They dictate norms while they break them. Why do priest and the church own or have access to the media in order to impose thei believes. Isn´t it abuse of power. They own the money.

I am not saying that what Padre Alberto did is right. But he is human, if not he would not be here. He's done more good than bad. Father I support you from the bottom of my heart!. Usted sigue siendo una buena persona dentro o fuera del sacerdocio un error no va a borrar todo el bien que usted a hecho. Me imagino que esta pasando por muy mal momento. Fe y adelante.

I'm deeply sorry for this sad incident! However, if, we are in the public eye; one must be certain to abide by the rules established by the RCC. There is absolutely, "no excuse" for this type of behavior. PLEASE ! ! It is embarrasing, but unfortunately, as a "role model member in society", one must be fully accountable and responsible to comply with established policies and procedures by our Employers. Furthermore, it is my opinion, that ..... "personal conduct, principles & professional ethics applies "for anyone in public minestry, politics, profession or the corporate world, (no exception) we are expected to conduct, project and be responsible for our deeds . I am sincerely sorry for this u nfortunate incident, specially during difficult times.

Also, it is nationally reported that the hispanic lay community is in support of Father Cutie moreso than the clergy. Especially the Cuban community here in Miami. . To most, that is not surprising being that the Male Cuban community are womanizers. Married or single.. shame on them... Women, take note. What does your husband say about this guy???

5/6/2009 3:54:14 PM PST
What Father Cutie did equates to a layperson breaking a rule in Corporate America and nothing else and should be given the same treatment as they would ( whatever that would be is up to his boss) andI am not saying his boss is God, The real shame ( sin) is that the Catholic church is not forward in telling its members why that rule exists. For those who dont know, this is going to be a real shock. Before this celibacy rule, Priests did get married. As they would die, some of the assets were taken from the Catholic Church to take care of the deceased family. The Churchs official motive for making celibacy part of a Priests Vows was to protect the assets of the church. for those who dont believe this,let me say it was as much of a shock to me ae it is to you.

El Padre Alberto es un hombre de verdad. Él será un excelente padre y esposo, sin dejar de ser sacerdote en el alma. Él es valeroso, no es hipócrita, y tiene un corazón de ángel. Hay que felicitarlo por su exposición pública, porque otro cura se habría escondido para llevar a cabo sus mismas acciones. Él sabía que al salir con esa persona a la que debe amar con locura, estaría expuesto al escrutinio público. Él prefirió el desafío. Yo misma tengo amores con un Padre muy conocido, de 39 años, pero él prefiere hacer todo a escondidas. He pensado dejarlo por ser falso, y narcisista.

Se entiende que el celibato no es nada fácil. Sin embargo, el Padre Alberto decidió arriesgarse y sobretodo predicar con su conducta y sus discursos en los medios de comunicación la fidelidad de los hombres a Dios y a sus convicciones. Ahora con lo que él ha hecho, uno se pregunta si en realidad él estaba convencido de lo que predicaba y si él se hizo sacerdote por convicción? Dios creó a los hombres y al Padre Alberto con derechos y obligaciones. Como consequencia él tiene derecho a tomar decisiones en su vida que vayan de acuerdo con sus obligaciones. Por tano, si el Padre Alberto sentía que sus convicciones flaqueaban, entonces en un acto de amor a Dios hubiera dejado los hábitos para empezar una vida en el mundo. Que tristeza que contribuya a la desprestigiada imagen de la iglesia

Es trizte ver como una persona del clerigo cae,como han caido varias. Pero lo que deveriamos de tener en cueta es que la Iglesia fue fundada por el mismo Jesucristo, y lo que viene de El es perfecto, los inperfectos son los humanos que trabajan en ella. Veremos esto y alomejor cosas peores. Lo importante es NO depositar nuestra fe en las personas, si no en la doctrina de la Iglesia. Lo bueno es que cuando un sacerdote hace algo malo todos se dan cuenta, y que bueno, para que estos dejen un cargo que no les pertenece, o que no pueden con el.; pero cuando un sacerdote hace cosas buenas muy pocas veces se da a la luz.,,, No los defiendo ni los justifico, yo defiendo mas la fe... esta es mi opinion personal

ES UNA NOTICIA MUY TRISTE...PERO QUIENES SOMOS NOSOTROS PARA CONDENAR...O PERDONAR...ESO QUEDA EN MANOS DE DIOS...Y ESTOY SEGURA QUE EL (DIOS)...SABRA ENTENDERLO.
YO CONOCI AL PADRE ALBERTO EN ST PATRICK CHURCH Y ERA UN EXCELENTE SACERDOTE...SIEMPRE ESTABA DISPUESTO A AYUDAR EN TODO Y A TODOS.
EN OCACIONES PENSE QUE ESTO PODRIA LLEGAR A SUCEDER..YA QUE POR SER TAN JOVEN Y TAN SIMPATICO( Y GUAPO)...SIEMPRE ATRAIA LA ATENCION DE LAS JOVENES...Y MUCHAS LE COQUETEABAN.
CUAL SERA LA VERDAD...RESPECTO A ESA JOVEN..Y A ESAS FOTOS!!
PADRE ESTOY SEGURA DE QUE DIOS LE DARA FUERZA PARA SOPORTAR ESTE DURA PRUEBA..Y LE MOSTRARA SU NUEVA RUTA...Y LO ACOMPANARA.
LO QUEREMOS...CUIDESE.

Now I really support Father Albert Cutie because he is truly a straight man and not a gay perverted pedophile. There is nothing in the Bible that prohibits any man from loving a woman, even if that man is a preacher of the word of God. There is nothing more natural in this world. This man has done absolutely nothing wrong under the rules of God. However, there will be many hypocrites that will jump to make an unjust judgement and ask for his head. What has this man done? Has he harmed anyone? He has a god-given right to fall in love. How is that going to affect his preaching. Celibacy is one of the most cruel and stupid rules of the Catholic Church. You know what celibacy promotes? Gays joining the church to get close to young boys and rape them. Father Cutie, Good Choice!!

Lo que hizo el Padre Alberto esta muy mal hecho. Nadie lo obligo hacer sacerdote. Si se enamoró de alguien esta bien perfecto pero el tenia la responsabilidad primero dejar de ser sacerdote. Y ser una persona común para que nadie hable de la iglesia católica.
Es lo mismo que si tu engañes a tu pareja. Como la gente puede estar departe de el. Yo soy jcasada y el engaño no va conmigo me párese muy mal. Y la forma que lo hizo el. Antes de hacer una tontería debe uno pensar. No me digan que el es humano y que el diablo mas lo tentó ha el. El diablo denta ha todos y no por eso vamos todo ha caer en pecado. Yo no culpo que se enamore un sacerdote pero que haga todo bien

Para nosotros los Catolicos que nos culpamos a diario por cualquier pecado (grande o pequeno) que hemos cometido; y vamos a confesarlos, que desilusion ver que a uno de los que guardamos como un representante de Dios se haya entregado al pecado y de esta forma tan publica e irrespetuosa.

Toda religion tiene normas creadas por el hombre las cuales no producen bendicion. El apostol Pedro era casado- la Biblia ensena que Jesus sano a la suegra de Pedro.
Que triste es que personas con una genuina vocacion sean obligados a vivir una vida de celibato que solo trae esclavitud :sacerdotes en homosexualismo; en abuso infantil, muchos de ellos llevando una doble vida, etc. Yo pregunto: Para que?Dios no demanda eso! Dios pide un corazon rendido a El. La salvacion no es por obras sino por fe en el sacrificio de Cristo . Siendo la salvacion por gracia, las obras son como consecuencia del ser salvo. Yo considero que el padre Alberto es un hombre joven con genuina vocacion, debe casarce y servir a Dios con la libertad que Dios da; conocereis la verdad y la verdad os hara libres.

No lo critiquen los hipocritas, que el padre Alberto es una super buena persona y un verdadero amor.
Si quiere renunciar, que renuncie - Dios y el mundo ganaran mucho mas, porque ahora el sera feliz y podra algun dia hacer feliz a una buena mujer. Quedarse de cura hubiera sido un desperdicio.
Padre Alberto, estamos contigo.
