Dilemma: A Priest’s Struggle with Faith and Love

In this deeply personal and controversial memoir, Father Albert Cutie tells about the devastating struggle between upholding his sacred promises as a priest and falling in love. Already conflicted by growing ideological differences with the Church, Cutie was forced to abruptly change his life the day that he was photographed on the beach, embracing the woman he would later call his wife.

Once a poster boy of the Roman Catholic Church - loved and admired by millions - Cutie found that he was not happy or able to live as a celibate priest. For years he kept his relationship a secret, while he searched his soul and prayed for answers. The love that he deemed a blessing was bringing him closer to God, but further from the Church.
