His love affair became international headline news. Now, South Florida’s own Father Albert Cutié shares his explosive story in his own words. In his deeply personal and controversial memoir, Dilemma (Celebra, $25.95) , Father Cutié tells about the devastating struggle between upholding his sacred promises as a Roman Catholic priest and falling in love. Already conflicted with growing ideological differences with the Church, Cutié was forced to abruptly change his life the day that he was photographed on the beach, embracing the woman who is now his wife. Once a poster boy of the Church, loved and admired by millions, Cutié found that he was not happy and able to live as a celibate priest, especially having to defend the number of positions he was no longer in agreement with. For years he kept his relationship a secret, while he soul-searched and prayed for answers. The love that he deemed a blessing was bringing him closer to God, but further from the Church. Cutié tells about breaking that promise, reigniting the very heated debate over mandatory celibacy for Catholic priests, beginning a new way of life and discovering a new way of serving God.
