From Florida-
He arrived for his speech at St. Gregory's Episcopal Church in Boca Raton with his wife and new baby, and Father Albert Cutié lived up to his name and charmed an audience by being forthcoming about the scandal that made him a household name in 2009.
"The only thing that was accurate is that I was found on the beach with a woman," said Cutié, rector of The Church of the Resurrection in Biscayne Park, who was there to talk about and sign his book, "Dilemma: A Priest's Struggle with Faith and Love."
Cutié pointed out he's among 125,000 priests who have left the Roman Catholic Church to marry, and in fact there was another man in the audience. But nobody else did it on the world stage, said Cutié, who was the face of the church here and in 22 Latin America countries as the host of "Padre Alberto," a daily show on Telemundo.
He was also on the radio and ran a Spanish-language newspaper. So after a Mexican celebrity magazine ran salacious photos, the scandal made headlines in the U.S., in the Spanish-language media and especially in South Florida, which he described as painful for years.
