It's amazing that Rick Sanchez actually tries to defend his friend, saying "he wasn't with a little kid, he was with a woman, a consenting adult...good looking guy, you kind of feel for this guy, don't you?" Unreal. Another MSM attack on religion. If you don't believe in the religion, fine. But don't belittle the rules, okay Rick? Catholic Priests take a vow of celibacy, you moron!
Guest William Donahue of The Catholic League responds to Sanchez.
Alberto Cutié (born circa 1969 in Puerto Rico), better known as Padre Alberto, is a Roman Catholic priest who has become a recognizable name due to his television and radio programs. Born in Puerto Rico to parents of Cuban ancestry, Cutié began his foray into the media at an early age. He started to work as a deejay during his adolescence. While his passion for radio was great, it was not greater than his devotion to his faith, which eventually led to his ordination as a Catholic priest. He was ordained as a Catholic priest for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami in 1995. He is the first Catholic priest to host a secular talk show both on radio and television. He is also a regular columnist whose writings appear in many Spanish newspapers throughout the United States and Latin America.
Cutié attracted great fame with his television debut in 1999 as the host of Padre Alberto (also known as "Cambia tu Vida con el Padre Alberto"), a daily talk show televised on the Telemundo network. After the show was cancelled, he later served as host of the weekly program "America en Vivo" on Telemundo International.
Since 2002, Cutié has continued to host a weekly talk program called, "Hablando Claro con el Padre Alberto", which reaches millions of households throughout the United States, Canada, Spain and Latin America for EWTN en español, which is part of the global network founded by Mother Angelica. In July 2003 he officiated at Celia Cruz's funeral mass in Miami.[1]
Cutié also published his first self-help book, "Real Life, Real Love" ( "Ama de Verdad, Vive de Verdad" ) in January 2006. It sold thousands of copies and was a bestseller in the Spanish language market.
Cutié has often been called Father Oprah by various publications such as Newsweek. Presently he is President and General Director of Radio Paz and Radio Peace Catholic 24-hour radio stations. He also serves as for radio programs Al Dia and Linea Directa, and directs the daily operations of Pax Catholic Communications for the Archdiocese of Miami.

The Miami Herald reports:
The Rev. Alberto Cutié, a national figure with movie star looks, was removed from his Miami Beach church Tuesday after photographs appeared in a magazine showing him frolicking with a woman in the sand on a Florida beach.
A wildly popular Catholic priest, newspaper columnist and radio and television personality, Cutié will no longer run operations or say Sunday Mass at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church.
Word of Cutié's punishment came during a brief news conference in front of a small gathering of reporters at the Archdiocese of Miami headquarters on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami Shores.
''The vow of celibacy is part of the ordination,'' said spokeswoman Mary Ross Agosta. "A man who is a priest is able to totally focus on the church.''
Earlier in the day, Cutié spoke with Archbishop John C. Favalora, who said that the pictures of Cutié and the woman saddened him.
''Father Cutié's actions cannot be condoned despite the good works he has done as a priest,'' Favalora said in a statement. "I ask for everyone's prayers at this time.''
Cutié also released a brief one-paragraph note, thanking those who support him and asking for the forgiveness of those who may be hurt or saddened by my actions.''
