Father Alberto Cutie, The former South Florida Roman Catholic Priest caught locking lips with his lover on the beach and then left the church to marry her spoken candidly about his story and his new TV show.

Father Alberto Cutie announced Tuesday he will host the talk show “Father Albert” on FOX Television stations. “It’ll be everything from sex to salvation,” Father Alberto told The Hollywood Reporter Tuesday in Miami during the NATPE TV trade show.

And in his first interviews with local news reporters since leaving the Catholic Church, the 41-year-old Father Cutie told CBS4’s Peter D’Oench, “For me this is an old direction, I did this for 11 years in Spanish.” His previous TV show, “Padre Alberto,” had been broadcast to millions of people in 22 countries.

“I’ve been invited to speak and reach out to people with their dilemmas and that is something I know a little bit about,” said Father Cutie. He’ll talk to people about relationships and important dilemmas today, such as overcoming fear.

“Fear always paralyzes people and I experienced that in my own life,” said Father Cutie. “I was afraid to come out and say, ‘Oh listen, I’m in love and let’s move on.’ Fear paralyzes people in their work and their profession and it can stifle you. We need to overcome that.”

He spoke to D’Oench beside a copy of his new book, “Dilemma.” He speaks about his theological differences with the Catholic Church, including its demands for priests to be celibate. “It’s a process where I began to understand there were many things I could not accept as important for the 21st century and I think one issue is celibacy.”

“My wife is someone I feel in love with and she’s wasn’t looking to fall in love with a Roman Catholic priest and I wasn’t looking to fall in love with her, but things happen in life,” said Father Cutie. “The dilemma I see in the book is somebody who has a one-way road that determines that this is the way the rest of your life is going to be and ends up seeing that there’s not a way that God wants you to walk and people should be allowed to change their mind. People should be allowed to change their direction.”
