Church grounded priest for using Hoverboard during morning Mars.

Hoverboards were trending as a must-have item this Christmas, but a priest in the Philippines found himself in hot water with the Church after demonstrating the use of one during mass.

A picture which has racked up over
fourteen million views in three days, shows Father Albert San Jose from the Philippines Diocese of San Pablo standing on a hoverboard while singing during a Christmas Eve mass at the Lady of Miraculous Medal church in Biñan town.


While the parishioners seemed to enjoy the rather unorthodox approach, the stunt did not go down well with the priest’s bishop.

“That was wrong,” the archdiocese said in a statement released on Tuesday. “The Eucharist demands utmost respect and reverence. It is the Memorial of the Lord’s Sacrifice. It is the source and summit of Christian life.”
