Amen.

He did an appearance on a morning show, I think it was good morning america. In the appearance he was attacking the views of the catholic church on celibacy, he became a minister in a different denomination, I think it was presbyterian. I casually looked at a video of it online and not agreeing with him did not pay it much heed. He did seem very anti-catholic, I remember him blaming the scandals on the celibacy issue, he never actually said so, but it led me to beleive he would be okay with priests leading an open homosexual lifestyle too. I do tremember him saying he met the woman in the church setting and immediately there were sparks, they tried to hide it but when they were filmed kissing on a beach he had to step down. It always amazes me how one can justify wrongs when it involves their actions. It would be wrong to break your vow, it would be wrong to engage in sexual activities with a woman who came to you in your role as a priest, or a counselor. This woman also was much younger than Mr Cutie too, if I remember right almost half his age as he was 40 years old at the time.

Actually his 1st appearance this week was on Don Francisco presenta on the spanish channel (univision I think). That was on the 3rd. He became Episcopalian (not presbyterian). And the woman is not 20. She looks to be about his age more or less (I did a quick search and she was 35 when things hit the fan in 2009). So it isn't exactly right to say that she was much younger than Fr. Cutie (note I said Fr. Cutie since he is an ordained minister in another church -- and in the episcopal church priests are refered to as Fr. or Rev.)
