Parishioners have locked a bishop in a church when he came to fire the local priest for divorcing and remarrying, which is against Orthodox church doctrine:
The Bishop of Tomis, Teodosie, has declared a no-tolerance policy on divorced and remarried priests.
He arrived at the Black Sea village to remove the altar cloth after priest Vladimir Cazan refused to leave his post.
Church rules say that services cannot be held if there is no cloth covering the altar.
Well, at least they're loyal.
