Fake Bishop Tries to Sneak into Vatican Meeting
2013-03-05
[An Nahar] An Italian man dressed up in fake ecclesiastical robes was escorted out of a meeting of Catholic cardinals by Swiss Guards on Monday after trying to sneak into the closed-door Vatican meeting.

The man had told news hounds that his name was "Basilius" and that he was a member of the "Italian Orthodox Church", which does not exist.
Points for originality...
Before he was discovered, the "bishop" told news hounds that Catholic bishops had "made a mistake by moving priests" who were accused of pedophilia around different parishes.

He was wearing a purple scarf around his waist that was similar to the sashes warn by senior Catholic prelates and he shook hands and chatted with priests and cardinals arriving at the meeting.
