When The Buzz saw this article, we couldn't believe it. The world is a pretty twisted place, but all sides of this story are stunning. A priest sex tape? A PRIEST SEX TAPE? The Daily Beast dives into the unrealness below

In the small Brazilian city of Arapiraca, tucked away in the poor, conservative northeast corner of the country, a hidden-camera video showing an octogenarian priest having sex with a young altar boy is being hawked on the street. For $5 to $10, vendors here will sell you the video, downloading it directly into your cellphone via Bluetooth. The price depends on the quality and length of the footage. According to one street vendor, the most popular download is the โcompleteโ version. Buyers, he says, are โalmost everybodyโnot just the curious.โ
Even as the Catholic Church reels from abuse accusations that go straight to the pope, the incidents in Arapiraca are developing into a full-blown disaster that will land it near the top of the Vaticanโs growing stack of crises. The sex tape is part of a scandal enveloping three of the cityโs most venerated priests, and its release has led to threats, blackmail allegations, and counterattacks from the local church. In a place like Brazilโa country obsessed with sex, religion, and overwrought soap operasโone would expect nothing less than the bizarre narrative currently unfolding.
Good grief.
