It is not the usual way to go about performing a blessing and using a paint roller dipped in holy oil to sanctify a TV studio has left a Romanian priest the object of ridicule.

The church’s website published pictures of the 62-year-old churchman carrying out what was in all respects a traditional blessing until it was spotted he was using what appeared to be a paint roller.
