	Alberto "Father Oprah" Cutie's Controversy Inspires More Support Than Outrage Hispanic Business June 3, 2009 http://www.hispanicbusiness.com/editors_picks/2009/6/3/alberto_father_oprah_cuties_controversy_inspires.htm The rise, fall, and rise again, of Father Alberto Cutie is making international headlines -- even a month after the former tabloid magazine exposed Cutie's secret relationship with a girlfriend. After a Spanish language magazine posted pictures of the Cuban-American priest, Cutie almost immediately defected from the Catholic Church to become an Episcopalian, which allows priests to marry. The Associated Press is reporting that Cutie has become a Latin American sensation; rather than outrage, many parishioners are coming to his defense and calling for the Catholic Church to change its longstanding rules about marriage. Cutie, known as "Father Oprah" in the United States built an international following from his church in Miami Beach.
