A Filipino Catholic priest is in hot water after turning his parish church into a dance floor, complete with disco lights, to celebrate his birthday. Father Wilfredo Lucas, priest of San Miguel Archangel Parish in the town of Plaridel, Bulacan province, was caught on video dancing in front of the church altar. Bishop Jose Francisco Oliveros of Bulacan Diocese said he is already investigating the incident. “I am sorry this thing happened,” said the prelate. Msgr. Bart Santos, the diocese’s vicar general, said he had met with Father Lucas, who said he was sorry about what happened. “He was very apologetic,” he said. A Manila television station showed on Jan. 23 a video of the priest dancing with a woman inside the church. The news report said the priest usually holds events inside the church to save on costs.
