Is the Episcopal Church In Miami THis Hard Up

Oh yes the Father Cutie that caught by the media with his hands down another woman's swimwear in a matter of weeks has become an "ordained" Episcopal Church Priest.

Now think about this. The Episcopal Church takes within weeks a Catholic Cleric

(1) That very well might have been living a life of sin outside marriage
(2) Was in the middle of emotional and public turmoil
(3) and within WEEKS WEEKS ordained him a Episcopal Priest"

My God when Anglican come over there is a huge period of discernment and evaluation.

What was this Anglican Bishop thinking over there.

Pray for Cutie and His bride

A couple of points regarding Alberto Cutie, as I am from South Florida and I have known his trajectory well.

At first I was very supportive of him because I felt at worse he would resign, become a lay Catholic and continue helping others. (He was director of Radio Paz down here & had his parish in South Beach)

Then jumping ship to a church founded by a serial womanizer and misogynist, who broke with Rome ONLY to marry his pregnant mistress is all too telling.

1. In the famous pics on the beach he is reading a book from a leading Episcopalian, sorry the name escapes me.

2. Rt Rev Leo Frade, head of their church in South Florida is a personal friend of his, "consulted" him at the outset but denied on a local Spanish TV show in the beginning that there was anything untowards as to Cutie joining the Anglicans.

3. We now have, undeniable evidence and pics of Ruhamma Cannelis, his girlfriend meeting with the photographers two days prior to the taking of the famous pics on the beach and another of her walking out of Cutie's final mass together with the same photographer.

4. As per the Archdiocese of Miami, Cutie was on a spiritual retreat of 1 month.

In reality he was holed up in Venice Beach, having lied to His Eminence AB Favalora, with his gal pal.

5. Please see the statement of Archbishop Favalora yesterday:

"I must also express my sincere disappointment with how Bishop Leo Frade of the Episcopal Diocese of Southeast Florida has handled this situation. Bishop Frade has never spoken to me about his position on this delicate matter or what actions he was contemplating. I have only heard from him through the local media. This truly is a serious setback for ecumenical relations and cooperation between us. The Archdiocese of Miami has never made a public display when for doctrinal reasons Episcopal priests have joined the Catholic Church and sought ordination. In fact, to do so would violate the principles of the Catholic Church governing ecumenical relations. I regret that Bishop Frade has not afforded me or the Catholic community the same courtesy and respect."

This whole matter is a farce and Alberto Cutie has show utter disrespect to the Church, to his parishioners and to the faithful throughout South Florida, by the way he handled this matter.

Oh, by the way aren’t they run by a guy in England who thinks Sharia is compatible with common law in the UK??????
