"Priest's decision to be Episcopalian said to harm ecumenical relations"




Adapted from this source: Our local archdiocesan publication, Today's Catholic, June 5, 2009.


"MIAMI (CNS) -- Archbishop John C. Favalora of Miami expressed disappointment May 28 at both Father Alberto Cutié's decision to join the Episcopal Church and th epublic way he was received into his new church.

"[T]he archbishop said in a statement that This truly is a serious setback for ecumenical relations and cooperation between the Catholic Archdiocese of Miami and the Episcopal Diocese of Southeast Florida.

"[He] also warned Catholics not to request the sacraments from Father Cutié nor attend Masses celebrated by him.

"Father Cutié, who was suspended from his parish and Catholic radio posts after photos of him with a woman were released by a tabloid magazine, joined the Episcopal Church May 28 at a ceremony at Miami's Trinity Cathedral.

"The woman, identified as Ruhama Buni Canellis, 35, also became an Episcopalian in the same ceremony..."

Humm .. o.k.!

"So what happens a year or two down the line?"

Will this star - spangled relationship between these two lovebirds and or maybe simply two totally self - absorbed -- but essentially harmless idiots! --last even that long??!! :)
