Priest strikes over empty collection plate

A Polish priest has gone on strike because parishioners don't leave enough on the collection plate.

Father Piotr Lenart, of Deszkowice, south east Poland, refuses to talk during mass. Instead he stands in silence in front of the congregation for 15 minutes.

The fall out began two years ago when the priest asked for donations to rebuild the church car park.

This is appalling behaviour from a priest. Is it the case that he says Mass silently (and I suspect therefore illicitly) and gets through it in 15 minutes? Or does he have a 15 minute silent protest before he begins?

Either way he really needs to grow up.
