He seems unwilling to leave her, so he's at a crossroads. Again, where were his superiors, many people must have known about this affair, why did it take a tabloid to bring it out?Leticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170455690163831806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35367405.post-26256362239436338682009-05-11T21:40:00.000-04:002009-05-11T21:40:00.000-04:00In reading more online today about Fr.

Cutie and what the MSM had to say on him, I was particularily saddened to hear how brazen he was and unapologetic about wanting to keep the girl and the priesthood. Like he knew nothing about Church teaching on celibacy, a VOW he took, sex before marriage, birth control?...I am left wondering about a whole host of areas where he might have led parishioners in to sin during the confessional? I have to wonder? Is he a man full of pride and so sought out the media to feed that ego but needed even more? Did he trust in his own impulses ratioanlizing them rather than the wisdom of the church all these centuries....<br /><br />Very upsetting, scandalous and I'm tempted further to believe he may even be pushing his agenda....you want priests? good Looking , young priests? Well, your going to have to pay up and let them have their basest desires rather than calling them to the higher ground of an Alter Christi....<br /><br />Being the conduit of transubstantiation, bringing down Jesus Christ, truly present in the Eucharist is the greatest good a priest is called to do. It's miraculous! Why let the devil convince you that selling a sports drink will could ever be as equally fulfilling?<br /><br />Our priests are the devil's targets, pray for them.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423794317423373245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35367405.post-37557404913133572182009-05-11T20:11:00.000-04:002009-05-11T20:11:00.000-04:00Good post.

It's a calling. Also, if we had married priests, would it not be likely that priests might leave for other reasons, stress of parish life too great, wife wants priests to make more money, jealous of time he spends with parishoners. Ask any honest pastor's wife and she'll tell you that the family strain in enormous. I'm not definatively saying there should or never will be married priests, for it is a church discipline, not divine law...however it will not end the scandals as long as sexual perversion pervades our culture.<br /><br />And what I don't understand is why these priests who have fallen feel they must leave the priesthood, provided they have done nothing illegal. Why can't Fr. Cutie, and others like him, confess, dust themselves off, pick up their cross and keep going, like the rest of us? God will give them the grace to refrain from future sin, he has to, he provides for our needs. Where is the trust?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
