Now that “Father Oprah” has tied the knot (again, this time in an Episcopal church), Jim Davis down at the Sun-Sentinel talks to other formerly Catholic priests who left the church for love.

From Davis’ story:

“Given the stigma, studies of priest-women relationships are rare. But some numbers are available.

“In 2002, the late sociologist Dean Hoge of Catholic University of America estimated that 20 percent to 30 percent of resigned priests left because they fell in love with women; 5 percent to 15 percent because they fell in love with men; and 20 percent to 30 percent because they rejected celibacy in general.

“According to psychotherapist A.W. Richard Sipe, 25 percent of all American priests have had relations with women at one time or another since ordination. “I think Cutié has done everybody a big service by getting it talked about,” says Sipe, whose books A Secret World and Sex, Priests and Power shocked Catholic circles in the 1990s. “The average priest has the identical struggle. They’re just not on film or video.”
