Father Albert's new daytime talk show aims to help people, not exploit personal problems


From The New York Daily News-

Father Alberto Cutié knows something about personal problems, and he figures that will come in handy when he hosts a new daytime talk show.

Cutié was a Catholic priest who left the church in 2009 because he fell in love with a woman. Now married and an Episcopal priest in Florida, Cutié figures having gone through his own struggles will help guests and viewers of "Father Albert."

"I think I'm able to kind of tell them, you know what, you'll be able to get over this," says Cutié, whose show launches Monday at noon on WNYW/Ch. 5. "That's when I pull out that card and say I've been able to overcome and you will overcome it, too."

Cutié was ordained in 1995 and discovered a talent for being media-savvy. Soon, he was hosting Spanish-language radio and TV shows, where he helped people with everyday problems. The new daytime show, in English, is a return to a role he had for a long time before his personal life became a national issue.
