Priest suspended

A priest in the Philippines was suspended for riding a hoverboard during Christmas Eve mass. The priest of the Diocese of San Pablo reportedly sang a Christmas song while riding the hoverboard up and down the aisles of the sanctuary as a way to greet the congregation. The diocese said the priest made worship about himself instead of Christ. The unnamed priest has apologized for his behavior and said the situation was a “wake-up call.”
