A Catholic priest has sparked online outrage after a viral video showed him giving an altar boy a heavy knock on the head during a wedding ceremony. The incident occurred as the groom and bride exchanged vows, and the boy was tasked with holding the microphone close to the couple so that the audience could hear them clearly.

However, due to the height difference between the altar boy and the couple, he struggled to keep the microphone steady. Frustrated by the boy's inability to perform the task properly, the priest, in full view of the congregation, delivered a sharp knock to his head. The footage, which surfaced online, immediately drew a wave of reactions from netizens.

Many condemned the priest’s actions, with one commenting, "Some people just don’t have manners. Must he do that in front of the congregation? Everyone deserves respect regardless." Another added, "This is wrong. The priest allowed his emotions to rule over him. You can correct the boy at the end of the service."

Lol

Lmao !

This type will never wanna see you grow beyond your boy boy level

Serves him right. He can't be misbehaving like that.

Me wey get anger issues, I for don hold him infertile gbola and draw am till whole congregation gather drag me.

I dey hear priests are the closest to the devil, I no wan believe am before... But I've seen and heard a lot.

N

The boy is very young. The day any pastor or priest will try this me, na thunderous slap he go receive

Child abuse. Sigh

Touched by an Angel 😂

White wedding is nonsense

That knock was so resounding from here.
Very irresponsible priest. If he does that in some countries of the west there will be an uproar of shocked exclamation immediately from the congregation. But here we just look away as if nothing happened.

You never know ... the boy could be his son

It's a pity
Watch the full video here

Make una rest abeg!

Rascal priest

If na so God dey knock am in public anytime he sins, won't he have been dead or mad a long time ago?

Child abuse live on camera...he should be arrested and made to explain what law gives him the right to beat up someone's child

This priest no get joy o😂 and did not show good example....

He should learn how to control his anger and frustration either private or public.

That must have been Nwamaikpe.

This is the knock that made him run mad.

Anger issues no doubt but he is still a human being non the less even priest have issues and do make mistakes. Parents do this all the times and it doesn't make headlines

Probably the priest is angry that guy is taking his girlfriend away

I blame Tinubu!

Meanwhile, if it is in western world, the parents of this alter boy will sue this Priest for assault and child abuse

And they will win the case👌🏻

...The sad part is that in this part of the world, the parents will tell the boy not to worry because it's a divine blessed knock🥺

He is an alter boy, that's part of the training. And for op who is trying to use height as the reason why the boy wasn't doing the right thing, you should have mentioned that the knock added to his height because that's is the only way to explain why his hand was able to reach the right place and the groom's voice became audible immediately after the knock.

This is called KONK! Not knock ... Very useless priest

The knock sounds o .

The priest is still a slave to anger. If he couldn't control himself publicly, only God knows what he would do to the boy if it were to be in a closet.

Ok

Priest don vex reach

Wicked priest

Sorry young blood. That was how we were all connected by senior cousins and village people.

Don't mind social media, take corrections

Evil men in cassocks...

Na your head he knocked? U know how many knocked we don chop?
