(ANSA) - Ragusa, February 1 - A Sicilian bishop rapped a
local priest Thursday for refusing church offerings made in
eurocents.
Noto Bishop Antonio Staglianò called the incident involving
Father Mario Martorina at a recent funeral "regrettable".
He said Father Martorina "made a mistake and apologised".
"Don't try to cast me as a cleric attached to money because
that's not true," Staglianò added.
