Alberto Cutie speaks out about his dilemma with faith and love …

Father Alberto Cutie is on a book signing tour for his second body of work, Dilemma: A Priest’s Struggle with Faith and Love. The biography tells about his journey of choosing between the church and his heart.

He admits: “I began writing the book in the midst of great turmoil — after marrying the woman I loved, being chased by the paparazzi for months, and finally making the decision to move on from the Roman Catholic Church I grew up in, to serve God in peace as a married Episcopal (Anglican) priest.”

Cutie was embroiled in a scandal when photos hit the Internet in May 2009, showing him lounging on a beach in Miami with his lover Ruhama Buni Canellis. The series of photos showed them in compromising poses that left no doubt that they were a couple – controversial photos here.

At the time of these revelations, Padre Alberto was an internationally recognized Roman Catholic priest who hosted radio and television shows that were broadcast throughout the U.S., Canada, Spain and Latin America.

He left the Roman Catholic church and was received into the Episcopal Church in May 2009. A month later he married Canellis and they welcomed a baby daughter Camila Victoria Cutie on November 30, 2010.
