‘Father Oprah’ denounces Church in new book


From Catholic Culture-

A former Miami archdiocesan priest whose television, radio, and newspaper outreach extended to outlets as varied as Telemundo and EWTN has denounced the Church in a new book.

Alberto Cutié, whose public ministry in the Church ended following the publication of compromising photographs, renounced the Catholic faith and became a minister of the Episcopal Church. He also civilly married the divorcee with whom he was having an affair.

In his new book, Cutié calls the Catholic Church “misogynistic,” “disconnected,” and an “institution that continues to promote old ideas.”

“There are so many homosexuals, both active and celibate, at all levels of clergy and Church hierarchy that the Church would never be able to function if they were really to exclude all of them from ministry,” he adds.
