A priest was arrested by Portuguese police–caught in the act with his hands on a child. But it wasn’t for the offense you’re thinking of, you pervert.

In Lisbon, a 34-year-old man was on arrested suspicion of impersonating a priest. They take their baptisms very seriously over there. So much so that people actually feel the urge to impersonate priests.

Key quote: “‘When the man said “in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit” police came in and grabbed him,’ a member of the church was quoted by local daily Jornal de Noticias as saying.”
