Related: About this forumAngry Italian priest sets ablaze Benedict XVI's photo
Rome, March 5: A parish priest near the Italian port city of Genoa stunned members of his congregation when he held up a photo of emeritus pope Benedict XVI and set it alight during Sunday mass, a media report said.
Andrea Maggi said he did not regret his behaviour, Italian daily Repubblica reported.
He likened Benedict to Francesco Schettino, the Italian captain who abandoned his sinking cruiseliner off the Tuscany coast in January last year, after allegedly causing the shipwreck in which 32 people died.

It is a dangerous job. If it were not for the perks folk wouldn't dare go near it.
