DETROIT (AP) — A Roman Catholic priest in the Detroit area has taken aim at his parishioners in a bid to maintain social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic, using a squirt gun to shoot holy water.
St. Ambrose Church in Grosse Pointe Park pointed photos on social medial showing the Rev. Tim Pelc shooting water into a car window on Easter.
The photos have inspired memes online.
One shows the 70-year-old priest amid the fires of hell directing the squirt gun at devil-like figures.
Pelc told BuzzFeed News that he was a little concerned about how the Vatican might react when the photos of him began circulating widely.
But he said he hasn't "heard anything yet.”
