Things we see every day. A priest in the
Philippines has been suspended by the church
after video shared on social media showed him
gliding on a hoverboard while preaching during
mass.
The video which has racked up millions of views,
showed Father Albert San Jose from the
Philippines Diocese of San Pablo gliding on a
hoverboard during a Christmas Eve mass at the
Lady of Miraculous Medal church in Biñan town.
While the parishioners enjoyed seeing their priest
having a good time, the stunt did not go down
well with the priest’s bishop.
“That was wrong,” the archdiocese said in a
statement released on Tuesday. “The Eucharist
demands utmost respect and reverence. It is the
Memorial of the Lord’s Sacrifice. It is the source
and summit of Christian life.”
Father Jose later apologized for the stunt, saying
it will never happen again
