 Drop that collar! Cutié is changing religions.
Rick Sanchez just broke the story about his pal on CNN. The lovey-dovey priest is now an Episcopalian, and he will marry his SoBe sweetheart. Score one for the religion that doesn't force men to do the impossible.
... Bishop Leo Frade of the Episcopal Diocese of Southeast Florida announced in a news conference on Thursday.
Frade also said that he welcomed Cutié and his fiancée Ruhama Canellis into the church. Canellis stood at Cutié's side when the announcement was made.
"I want to continue sharing the word of God," Cutié said in Spanish. "I've seen how many married men serve God. Those who know me know that I would be unable to hurt anyone especially my family and the faithful community. My personal struggle should not interfere with the work of other priests. Today, I have officially joined a new spiritual family. I ask that everyone respect my privacy. In the last few days, there have been rumors and respectfully, I ask you to stop. That's enough. May God bless you all." It will take about a year for Cutié to complete the process of becoming and Episcopal priest. And now for something that will probably have to change:
He will deliver his first sermon as a deacon for the Episcopalian church on Sunday at 10 a.m. at the Church of the Resurrection at 11173 Griffing Blvd. in Biscayne Park. The church seats 250 people, and church officials said on Thursday that they don't have any plans to add any additional seating
Something tells me they're gonna need more seats...
BTW how long before Ruhama Canellis becomes the most hated woman in Catholicdom?Labels: Catholic Church, celibacy, Father Cutié, priests, religion |
