Sexist priest's video goes viral

Thiruvananthapuram: A video clip showing a Catholic priest using offensive language against women who wear jeans and t-shirts at church has gone viral.

In a programme aired by a Christian devotional channel, which was later uploaded on the internet, the priest said the Bible and the church have not allowed girls to wear jeans and t-shirts — the attire of boys.

He said many boys had complained that though they took good decisions after attending religious classes, the “semi-nude women outside church persuaded them to commit sin.” However, the priest’s office, when contacted, said they have not seen the video and it might have been uploaded by somebody with “vested interest”.
