“He seemed honest, he spoke Italian well. Perhaps he truly feels a calling to the priesthood, but wasn’t able to pursue it through the usual channels,” he added.

Insane comment. Who is running this diocese?

In this age of instant phone contact, the lack of due diligence on the part of Turin is the real scandal. The whole article does not seem to take seriously the crime of simulation of the sacraments.

I'm struggling to understand your concern. Cleverly alliterative headline notwithstanding, this is a pretty straightforward news report that, to my eye at least, meets journalistic practice and standards.

For example, Edgar Beltrán included the statement from Fr. Naso expressing the grave nature of the impersonation, and the article's final three paragraphs specifically address how seriously the matter is taken within both civic and canonical spheres of authority.

Can you provide an example of what you think is missing, that should have been included? That could prove helpful for better understanding your critique of this article.
