The Rev. Alberto Cutie and is father

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.

Ruhama Buni Canellis is Alberto Cutie's girlfriend and wife. Ruhama Buni Canellis, 35, has two sons: a five year-old and a 15 year-old. Ruhama is a divorced licensed facial specialist.

She has worked without a license and was caught. Ruhama paid fines and one of the counts was dismissed.

She has also applied for a license with the Florida Department of Business and Professional regulation to be a real estate broker.
She was married in 1994 to David Hope Norton but she divorced him two years later. The couple had one child.

Catholic priest kicked out of Church for having his hand down a woman's bikini, marries her

The Catholic priest who was kicked out of the Church after he was photographed in a tabloid romping on a beach with a bikini-clad woman has now made the relationship official.

The Reverend Alberto Cutie has married Ruhama Canellis after a two-year relationship, according to court records in Miami.

The couple were not married in a church, but by a judge.

It was the latest in the public spectacle that started when photos of Rev Cutie embracing his girlfriend surfaced last month.

Amid the uproar, Rev Cutie - also known as 'Father Oprah' for his sound relationship advice - was removed from his South Beach parish.
Protesters marched to support the popular priest, who has appeared on radio and TV broadcasts beamed through the Americas and Spain.
But he quickly departed from Catholicism to become an Episcopal priest. The Episcopal church is the U.S. branch of the Anglican communion.
Last month he preached his first Episcopal sermon to an American congregation - and took Ruhama along with him.

He preached a sermon on forgiveness - and was openly affectionate with Ruhama, who he was pictured cuddling with as he spoke to parishioners.
Rev Cutie, 40, still must meet other requirements before becoming a full-fledged priest in the Episcopalian religion.
Last month, in an interview with CBS, he said, 'I believe that I've fallen in love and I believe that I've struggled with that, between my love for God, and my love for the church and my love for service.'
Rev Cutie met Ruhama, 35, in church. The priest said they were friends for years before becoming romantically involved.

Rev Cutie has not commented. An e-mail to Ruhama prompted an automatic reply that said the account was not being checked but to 'keep us in your prayers'.
Rev Cutie remains, technically at least, a Catholic priest, though the Miami archdiocese has barred him from celebrating Mass, providing the sacraments or preaching.
Only the Vatican can fully remove him from the priesthood.
The Catholic archdiocese declined to comment on the marriage. A message left with a spokeswoman at the Episcopal Diocese of Southeast Florida was not immediately returned.
Rev Cutie also authored a book titled "Real Life, Real Love: 7 Paths to a Strong, Lasting Relationship."
