A Romanian priest has been fined and could be defrocked after he was caught playing poker in a pub.
Vasile Mihaila, 40, parish priest for Negoesti village in Gorj county, was caught in the act by police during a routine search. . .
Orthodox church officials said they have opened their own investigation but add the priest could be defrocked for "activities incompatible with the service of a clergyman."

I would think the Romanian Orthodox Church has more to worry about than a priest knocking back a few drinks and playing some cards. 1, 2, 3, 4.
