Italian Priest Accidentally Turns on Facebook Filters While Livestreaming Mass

Mamma mia! A priest in Italy who tried to livestream a Catholic Mass service this week wound up inadvertently going viral when he accidentally turned on his Facebook filters. UPI reports that Paolo Longo, a parish priest at the Church of San Pietro and San Benedetto di Polla in the Salerno province, used the platform’s AR filters during the 50-minute service.

He wound up appearing onscreen adorned with cartoon helmets, sunglasses, hats and dumbbells. But he had a sense of humor about it, later writing, “Even a laugh is good.”
