Church investigates after parishioners notice gay porn during communion rites

A priest in Northern Ireland is being investigated Monday for accidently showing gay pornographic images to a group of parents, according to the BBC.

Father Martin McVeigh was prepared to show a normal Powerpoint slideshow from a memory stick at a holy communion presentation last week in front of 26 parents and an eight-year-old child.

“He was visibly shaken and flustered,” one parent at the meeting told the BBC. “He gave no explanation or apology to the group and bolted out of the room. The coordinator and the teachers then continued with the presentation. The meeting continued in his absence, however, the parents who viewed the pictures were horrified and distracted.”

McVeigh was still rattled by the incident. (Boy, I'll say!
