Spare A Thought For This Italian Priest Who Activated FB Filters During A Livestream Mass

In these trying times, it’s important to savour life’s funnier moments and hold them tight. Enter Paolo Longo, an Italian priest of the Church of San Pietro and San Benedetto di Polla, who accidentally turned on Facebook filters during a livestream.

Priest Longo posted the livestream mass via his Facebook page for Italian service-goers currently under lockdown amid the coronavirus’ enormous spread across the nation. The filters were activated throughout the entirety of the 49-minute service.

Bless, and I cannot stress this enough, him.
