Praising God for his sentence
From Times Wire Reports
A judge in Chile has ordered a Catholic priest to recite seven psalms daily for three months as punishment for illegal parking.
Judge Manuel Perez said he issued the unusual sentence after the Rev. Jose Cornejo said he could not afford the $100 fine that would have been the regular sanction for illegal parking in the southern city of Puerto Montt.
The priest said he had parked his car in front of a school where he works because he lacked the money to pay for public parking.
