Father Alberto Cutié — a celebrity priest dubbed “Father Oprah” by devoted fans followers — has been relieved of his holy duties after a Spanish-language magazine published steamy photos of him breaking his vow of celibacy by kissing, fondling, and embracing a woman on a Miami beach.

“First photos of a priest ‘in flagrante’ with his lover,” reads the cover of TV Notas.

On Tuesday, the Archdiocese of Miami removed Father Cutié as head of the St. Francis de Sales parish in Miami Beach and at the Catholic radio station Radio Peace and Radio Paz.

Since 1998, Cutié, who was ordained as a priest 15 years ago, has hosted several Spanish-language talk shows and programs, seen in 24 million homes in 22 countries. He also writes a syndicated newspaper advice column called “Advice From a Friend.”
