A Catholic bishop has sparked reactions online after asking any woman who may be dating one of the candidates for priesthood to step forward before the ordination ceremony.

In a video making the rounds online, the bishop addressed the congregation shortly before the ceremony and said: “If you know you are the girlfriend of anyone here and you don’t want him to continue with priesthood, kindly step forward.”

The unusual remark immediately caught the attention of those present and has since gone viral on social media.

At the time, social media users claimed the emotional woman was the girlfriend of the newly ordained priest and had become heartbroken by his decision to enter the priesthood. However, the relationship claim was not independently verified.

The latest video has now reignited jokes and discussions around relationships involving men who decide to pursue the Catholic priesthood.
