The Gozitan priest who sparked controversy when he was paraded around his new parish in a sports car being pulled by young children has insisted his wacky display was not an issue for him.
Fr John Sultana, 47, raised eyebrows when amateur footage was uploaded showing him standing up in a convertible Porsche Boxster.
To make matters worse the car was being pulled through of the streets of his Żebbuġ parish by about 50 young school children as onlookers cheered and waved him along.
"I'm sorry but to me this simply isn't an issue and certain comments being made are just not right," he told Times of Malta when contacted on Tuesday morning.
He declined to comment on the matter any further, saying that "whichever way you comment, it is always taken out of context".
The report of the event was shared across social media on Monday night with many taking a dig at the new parish priest's flamboyant transport choice.
