I feel that Father Cutie, is an honest and respectable man. He seems to have a great love for God, his church, and the woman he loves. Thank goodness the photo was with a woman and not a boy or man.
This man is human and has have great feeling. He has great passion for hisGod and the church.
People and the Media needs to leave him alone, and Let this man have private counsel with his Spiritual leaders and the woman he loves, give him Peace and let him serve God and be with his love.

I think that ather Alberto is a very confused person.I also feel that this issue has little to do with the issue of celibacy. Father Alberto was married to God’s church. He took a vow just as any married person takes a vow. There are many marriages where the spouses are celibate. What Father Alberto did was to commit adultery. He had an affair outside of his marriage. He broke his vow. He strayed rom a commitment. How many people do you know have trouble with commitment. So many!! This does not make what he did any less seriously wrong than if a man married to his wife for years goes outside of his marriage and has sex with another woman. The issue then would not be attributed to celibacy and it should not here, either. It is about being faithful to one’s commitment.

I see the catholic church is at it once again huh? If the “Bible” says this man ‘can marry’ the woman that he loves, how then can the church which ‘says’ they adhere to ‘supposedly’ the very same(?) Bible be ‘against’ marriage in the first place??? Who are ‘they following’, the laws and sayings of man or the “truth which is of the Bible”??? I don’t remember reading anything in the Bible about ‘celibacy’, so why don’t these men who say they’re following ‘God’s Word’ challenge the ‘church’ on this stance??? Enough is enough already and ‘issues’ such as these are more than enough in my book.
