A man in the dress of a priest and with all the right documents offered himself to the Vatican authorities for confessional duty in St.Peter's (where there are dozens of confessionals active at all times, in several languages). However, the Vatican security men, used to priests of all kinds and colours, smelled something funny about the volunteer. A quick check with the Italian police revealed that the man was a faker who had already been caught on several occasions.
