A priest left Twitter users in hysterics after he turned his phone’s filters on and was transformed into a wolf and boxer while leading mass.

After the filters began popping up on his livestream, the priest became convinced someone was pulling a prank on his and scolded ‘whoever was “drawing” on his face’
Italy has been on lockdown since 9 March, and several priests have turned to social media in order to broadcast masses to their church.
The delightful clip started with the priest sporting a serious expression as organ music played in the background, while cartoon filters continued rolling out.
The priest appeared not to find the filters funny, but instead grew convinced he was the victim of a prank.
When the music stopped playing, the priest, who did not understand he was the one activating the filters, told his followers: ‘The person who keeps “drawing” on my face obviously likes to make jokes.
Annoyed with the filter and unaware he was the one who had activated them, the priest said it was an inappropriate time for jokes (pictured left, with a moustache filter and right, a wizard)
‘But I think this is not the right time to laugh, thank you,’ he added.
The video has been watched more than 34,000 times on Twitter after it was shared by a French user.
‘When an Italian priest starts to stream but activates filters…’ she wrote.

Another wrote: ‘Holy mother! This had me rolling on the floor laughing my a** off!’
