Four Catholic priests in Puebla, Mexico have resigned after they were caught breaking their celibacy vows, church officials say. The priests will no longer be allowed to celebrate Mass or perform sacraments, Fr Eugenio Lira, spokesman for the archdiocese in the central state of Puebla, announced in a statement, Fox News reports.
The clerics were either caught in a romantic relationship or discovered to have fathered children, Lira said.
He did not identify the priests or provide details of their alleged indiscretions.
