    A shocking incident at the Church of Our Lady of Aparecida in Brazil has triggered an investigation after Rev. Luciano Braga Simplicio was discovered half-dressed with a parishioner's 21-year-old fiancée hidden beneath his bathroom sink. The priest claimed she was merely showering, but angry congregation members who broke down the door tell a different story, leading to a Diocese investigation for possible violations of Canon Law.
