A MINISCULE village in southern Spain has been rocked by a video of a couple having sex on the church altar.
The man and woman recorded the sordid clip on a mobile phone inside the Church of Immaculate Conception (pictured above) in El Centenillo, Jaen – which has a population of little over 100.
The X-rated video was shared online and quickly spread like wildfire on Whatsapp.
The Bishop of Jaen expressed his ‘sadness and pain’ over the images, which were recorded over three months ago but have only come to light this week.
He told the EFE news agency that the Bishopry ‘lives with sadness and deep pain the offense committed and the consternation that these events have caused in the Christian community.’
The woman has reportedly already left the town, while the man never lived there.
A source told EFE: “The man is from La Carolina, and the woman does not work as a cleaner and sacristan of the Church, as some media have reported.
“She was the landlady of an association that organises camps for children and young people in the town.”
Days after learning of what happened, the Church said it came together ‘to ask God, the good father, for forgiveness, so that he looks with mercy on his people and grants everyone forgiveness and peace.’
