“We got a bunch of calls from sobbing women.”
— That’s Miami archdiocese spokeswoman Mary Ross Agosta, commenting on the uproar accompanying publication of a photo of internationally followed, Latin-friendly Catholic priest Alberto Cutie (known as Father Cutie) embracing an anonymous woman at a beach. As a Catholic priest, Father Cutie took a vow to remain celibate, and apparently a bare-chested hug at the beach was enough to get him booted from his church. Father Cutie’s tame transgression aside, it appears he was quite the armchair ladies’ man, having written a self-help book entitled “Real Life, Real Love.” I think he should simply claim that he was doing research for his follow up, “Real Life, Real Love (For Real This Time).” H/t to Dan G.

Never leave home without it.
