No wonder the Roman Church is so frakked up!

The Catholic Church has married priests already: widowers that become ordained later in life.

A Priest in Love: Photos Rock Miami Beach Church

'Padre Oprah' Doesn't Want to Give up Either Woman or Church

Father Alberto Cutie, known as "Padre Oprah," the nationally known Spanish language television host, advice columnist and bestselling author of the book "Real Life, Real Love," is creating quite a stir as he appears to be getting a dose of real love himself.

A Mexican magazine ran pictures of Father Cutie cuddling with a woman on a Florida beach and kissing her at a bar.

In an interview with the Spanish language network Univision, Father Cutie said that despite the scandal the photos have created, he doesn't want to give up either his collar or the woman he loves.

He told Univision, he loves the woman and has liked her since he met her.

After the photos appeared, the Archdiocese of Miami immediately removed him from his duties as a priest at St. Frances de Sales church in Miami Beach.

Today his parish held its first Sunday mass without him. One parishioner said that the real reason he came to the services was to support a brother in faith, a community leader and a person who has asked the community for its help and prayers.
