Fr. Albert Cutie taking the easy way once again, agreeing with everyone in the room for his show rather than facing a hard truth. And Ann Coulter, in her always kind manner, dropping the "Who's the Christian here?" on him. Oof.
Fr. Cutie was a priest who had his own talk show and was kind of a big deal until he got caught on the beach with a woman (if you know what I mean). Then, he left the priesthood and joined the Episcopal Church, I believe, where he's resumed his road to stardom and publicly criticized the Catholic Church for its rules about celibacy.
Ann is right in that children do better with mothers and fathers. That's not an attack on single mothers. It's a fact that our culture doesn't want to accept but it's a fact nonetheless.
More than likely he just couldn't or wouldn't keep his vows. He decided that chastity wan't for him. Then he noticed there was a TV spot that had been vacated by Jerry Springer so he grabbed it.
That clip is all I have seen of him but I would classify him as a narcissist. That is in harmony with your opinion that he just doesn't get the truth of the Scriptures. Narcissism and Christianity are anathema. The Original Sin saw to that.
Three things that this priest needs to ponder....again and again.
Three Things
Three things in life that can destroy a person:
1. Anger
2. Pride
3. Unforgiveness
Three things in life you should never lose:
1. Hope
2. Peace
3. Honesty
Three things in life that are most valuable:
1. Love
2. Family & Friends
3. Kindness
Three things in life that are never certain:
1. Fortune
2. Success
3. Dreams
Three things that make a person:
1. Commitment
2. Sincerity
3. Hard work
Three things that are truly constant:
Father - Son - Holy Spirit
Three things in life that, once gone, never come back:
1. Time
2. Words
3. Opportunity
But wasn’t Fr. Alberto Cutie part of ‘the Magisterium’, ‘the ultimate authority’, ‘wise and holy’ and ‘vetted pretty thoroughly’?
Was this woman the only place he was practicing YOPIOS?
Andrew Breitbart looks too much like Kiefer Sutherland for my taste, but I love his mind.
And Ann Coulter has all the nerve I wish I had ... but I have all the babies, so it works out ;-).
His sin was in having consensual sex with an adult woman to whom he was not married. She was married to someone else PLUS Cutie was in a covenant agreement with the Catholic Church and took vows of celibacy. He broke his vows and she broke hers. I agree with his church in removing him from the priesthood.
What I don't agree with nor understand is how priests and bishops involved in criminal child sexual abuse got to keep their jobs and were moved around to different parishes where they continued to sexually abuse children. Shouldn't these men have received at least the same discipline as Cutie? I see some hypocrisy here.
I’ll add to that. Three ways in which Satan trips up men in ministry:
1. Message
2. Money
3. Maidens
Yes. He is the epitome of someone who is only interested in the here and now and doesn’t care about the state of his soul at all—in fact, he sold his soul for worldly pleasure and fame. It is quite obvious that he sold out to the devil.
Love your remark and graphics. Ah....if everyone just had some of your talent and wisdom.....and some of your common sense. Mr. Cutie could sure use that along with some ethics.
Love your three M’s.....but add a slash after Maidens and put Men. There are a lot of people in high places that are sodomites and pushing for a correction in the Bible— that homosexual acts are a “good” and not a sin.
The Left has infiltrated all our cultural sources and the church is not excluded. How high up it goes is anybody’s guess. What about that clown who visits Jeremiah Wright’s church? Geoffrey Feiger? He is a flaming communists, also.
The Catholic Church and the Communists Party share so much in common, such as a top-down command structure. Communism is also a religion, a godless religion. There are similarities in many other areas. The Communists lie about wanting to help the poor where the church is sincere. However, the Communist intent is to discredit the church and I suspect they have a big hand in that. it is easy to corrupt the church if you are a lying pretender like most Communists are.
I think the Church understands the grave error now-—it did tremendous damage to the body of the Church and their pocketbook.
In the 70’s there was a huge push by the “gay” mafia to take homosexuality off of the mental illness list and give the behavior a pass—treat it as normal. There would have been grave criticism of the church were they sanctioning all these homosexual priests and kicking them out. They were told to “counsel” them and that the “homosexuality” is not evil, per say and these “homosexual” priests were an exception (instead of the rule since they were probably abused as boys and repeating the behavior done to them).
Psychiatrists in Europe and in America are owned by the homosexual lobby and part of making the activity normal, starts with the medical community which was bought and controlled by the 80’s.
I am sure the Catholic Church was being “advised” by psychiatrists that this behavior wouldn’t occur again except in the instance where the Bishops were homosexual and saw nothing wrong with it.
Catholic Church would do a great service to humanity if they would compile the childhoods of all the homosexual priests and document the abuse done to them, because homosexuality is a learned behavior and the Church could prove it and end the genetic myth that makes people “think” it is normal human behavior. It is not....just like the homosexual culture of the Greeks sodomizing boys...was learned and way of life. Even their gods were depicted in sodomy with boys.
When Guilani came in as Mayor he had all womem with children taken off welfare unless they report who is the father. The 1 million welfare mother became 350,000. also a lot more fraud was found by people getting more than one checks. That stopped too.
Of course anyone who has done wrong should be punished. But this in no way mitigates the guilt of Mr. Cutie.
I find your hypocrisy statement interesting. So because others aren’t punish then none should be punished?
Using this analogy, if some murders are not punished then no murders should be punished?
Are you making the argument that only when perfect justice is achieved then only justice may be wrought?
You are correct. And those Bishops once they are dead will burn in the hottest fires of hell -- the road to hell is lined with the skulls of failed bishops.
The those "priests" are burning with them. Such is the fate of sub-shepherds who do not lead Christ's flock properly
rot, even Calvin’s Geneva, the Anglican kings, Lutheran kings etc. had a top-down command structure. Are/were they the same as the communists?
Rot, yourself, Cronos. I am tired and grumpy so don't get me on your ass! I made no attempt to make a comprehensive list of the similarities. I only pointed out a couple or three. My doing that in no way said that all who had similar attributes were also undermining the church. However, in the top down structure department I would assume they are all the same in that particular way.
Do you dispute that the Communists have infiltrated the church? Have you read Communists Goals? If not, here are a few of them for you.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
What is your opinion of Fr Geoffrey Feiger? What about all the black preachers who are teaching Communism as Christianity and calling it Black Liberation Theology? What about all the cases, past and present, of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church? Do you think those are all just fallen priests or is it possible many are impostors sent just to destroy the church? Why are so few driven from the church?
Now get your disagreeable self away from me, hopefully smarter.
Go and educate yourself -- what is your opinion of the police state of Calvin in Geneva? Or the Calvinist dictatorship that was Prussia -- the Prussian culture of death which is what led to WWI and II
