"We are the Catholic Church"

"We are the Catholic Church"

A quotation from the Anglican 'bishop' (and grandfather) of South-East Florida, Leo Frade, a former Cuban-born Methodist made good...well, different.

A Cuban-born former Methodist Anglican Bishop? I bet there is only one in that category.

He was giving a speech to the media about a Roman Catholic priest who has lost his way called Alberto Cutié (pronounced Koot-e-ay - I think I mentioned it a while ago). A TV celebrity priest, Fr Cutié was found recently in the romantic embrace of a woman (which is something I suppose), and was summarily suspended.

Events took a different turn this week, however, and Fr Cutié is now excommunicated for apostasy, for 'converting' to the Anglican/Episcopal Church, and will be made a 'priest' in that community within a year. He appeared next to his new 'ordinary' in a press conference sans collar.

Is it just me, or is Fr Cutié's spiritual revelation and conversion an amazing coincidence?

He is now engaged to the woman he was getting jiggy with.

Of course, he is still a priest...
