A Maryland priest went on a rant during a funeral after a chalice was bumped and accidentally knocked to the floor. Michael Briese, who is white, went ballistic in an episode caught on cellphone video, demanded the family members leave “his” church and called the police to make sure they did.
The black family was one of many who came out to the Saint Mary’s Catholic Church in Charlotte Hall to celebrate the homegoing of the deceased Agnes Hicks.
