Catholic Fire

The scandalized priest, Fr. Alberto Cutie, appeared on The Early Show on CBS this morning. You can watch the video at this link. Deacon Keith Fournier opines: The real story behind this fall in the life of this celibate priest is the media feeding frenzy. The secular press has used it to attack the countercultural witness of consecrated celibacy in Catholic life. Fr. Cutie was exceedingly popular and is a very gifted communicator.

Judge Clark Owens sent the jury home for the day while attorneys for both sides worked in chambers to hammer out the jury instructions that will be presented to the panel of six tomorrow after closing arguments.
