Popular Miami priest 'Padre Alberto' falls from grace after racy photos surface
|
Father Alberto Cutié also known as 'Padre Alberto' is featured on the cover of TV Notas magazine
MIAMI - The Rev. Alberto Cutié was stripped of his parish and Catholic media outlet on Tuesday following a talk with Archbishop John C. Favalora over reports and photos in the Spanish media, purporting to show him on a beach with a woman.
The priest is no longer in charge of Pax Catholic Communications,
Miami, or St. Frances de Sales parish on Miami Beach, said Mary Ross
Agosta, the archbishop's spokesperson.
The Rev. Jose Hernando, former president of Pax, has been appointed its general director, Agosta said. The outfit includes Radio Paz and its English-language counterpart, Radio Peace.
An administrator for the parish hasn't been announced yet.
"Our job now is healing the parish and the staff, and Father Cutié," Agosta said. "This is a sad day for the entire archdiocese."
She said Cutié and Favalora spoke "one on one," with no one else present. She also said the archbishop had said nothing of the exchange, including whether Cutié confirmed or denied the photos.
Father Cutié emailed an apology Tuesday afternoon, asking forgiveness from "those who may be hurt or saddened by my actions . . . The commitment that I made to serve God will remain intact."
