Priest suspended for preaching on hoverboard
Priest reportedly suspended for riding a hoverboard during mass.
A priest in the Philippines is in trouble after a video showing him singing a Christmas song while riding a hoverboard during Mass has gone viral.
According to a statement from the diocese, the
priest, who has not been identified, sang a Christmas song while riding
the hoverboard around the church as a way of greeting his parishioners
during the Christmas Eve Mass.
“[The Mass] is the Church’s highest form of worship,” the diocese said. “Consequently, it is not a personal celebration where one can capriciously introduce something to get the attention of the people.”
The diocese indicated that the priest was suspended, saying, “He will be out of the parish and will spend some time to reflect on this past event.”
Did the priest go (h)overboard?
