You read that headline right. For some people, the ability to record videos on smart phones at any moment is not a good thing for so many reasons.
The Sun received a video showing a priest caught in engaged in a drug party at the church rectory. Father Stephen Crossan, 37, is snorting white powder through a £10 bill right after saying, “I shouldn’t.”
Revelers at the house, say they saw Nazi memorabilia all over the room including flags, hats and an eagle with a swastika on his mantelpiece.
Crossan told the British tabloid, “I’m no Nazi. I collect historical stuff. There’s stuff there from every country.”
The incident at took place at Crossan’s house on church grounds, after a two-day bender. After the video surfaced, the priest admitted to using drugs but claimed he did not have an addiction problem. Crossan works at St. Patrick’s Church in Banbridge, Northern Ireland.
