The popular Rev. Alberto Cutie, who left the Catholic Church to enter the episcopal after a notorious scandal, today became the father of a child, from his marriage in 2009 with the Guatemalan Rhuama Canelli.
The birth took place this afternoon at a hospital in Miami (Florida) and the baby, which is in perfect condition, will be named Camila Victoria Cutie, parents said.
"In thanksgiving to God, the giver of life, my wife and myself announce the birth of our beautiful daughter, Camila Victoria Cutie,''the priest said in its website.
The former Catholic priest 41 years added: "We take this opportunity to thank our family, parish community and many friends who have offered their love and support. Your prayers and good wishes are an added bonus for us.''
The scandal erupted last year when it was discovered that Cutie, of Cuban origin and born in Puerto Rico, maintained alleged relations with his current wife without being hung habits.
