By | October 27, 2014 This viral video proves that priests can have fun too.
A pair of tap dancing priests are following in the footsteps of Sister Cristina Scuccia, who contested on Italian version of the singing talent hunt, The Voice and won the show and a recording contract in June.
The duo, Rev. David Rider and Rev. John Gibson, 28, are American priests studying in Rome and they performed a lively dueling tap dance routine at a fundraiser at the North American College, an elite American seminary in the Vatican in April. Their performance was recorded by a journalist, Joan Lewis who shared the video on YouTube.
The video has garnered more than 700,000 views.
The priests' online popularity has not gone down well with some conservatives, though. Some think that the priests were disrespectful for dancing under a crucifix and a painting of Pope Francis.
"We would just refer them to the Bible," 29-year-old Rider told the AP. "Where the Lord tells us to live with joy."
And Sister Cristina? She went on to cover Madonna's 'Like A Virgin'. She released the video on October 20, 2014 and it has already received more than 2 million views. Watch the video below:

.... Success is not really about the amount of money you have.Strippers in Lagos state earn as much as 150,000 naira weekly exposing their naked bodies in clubs.Also, some politicians steal public funds,and leave their people to suffer.The list of ungodly means of making money are endless.Can we say people who make lots of money by ungodly means are successful?The likes of Bill Gates and Aliko Dangote can never be poor simply because they have a solution to some of human problems.Bill Gate helps solve the problem of information technology.Dangote helps solve the problem of getting some basic needs like salt,cement,flour,steel,oil and gas and real estate.I think success is fulfilling your destiny on earth,and achieving your vision.A lot of rich people today are not successful.What is your own definition of success??? ....
