A Roman Catholic priest has been exposed as a fake after 18 years, a diocese in Spain has announced.
Miguel Angel Ibarra was found to have never been ordained after claims emerged he had faked the documents that admitted him to the priesthood.
The diocese of Cadiz and Ceuta said marriages and baptisms he had carried out after moving from his native Colombia would remain valid.
Confessions he had received from worshippers are no longer valid but the 'grace of God' still acted on the faithful, Church authorities said.
Ibarra moved to Spain from Colombia in October 2017 and had been in charge of the church in the village of Medina Sidonia.
The village in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia is home to some 11,000 people.
He had pretended to be a priest for the past 18 years, a spokeswoman for the diocese added.
Colombian church officials informed the diocese on December 13 that it had received a complaint that Ibarra had forged his ordination documents.
After carrying out a 'thorough investigation' they concluded that he had never been ordained.
He was ordered to go back to his archdiocese of origin in Colombia, Santa Fe de Antioquia.
The diocese of Cadiz and Ceuta said it regretted that 'events like this could overshadow the work of parishioners and ordained priests, who serve the Church every day in an exemplary way.'
Like in other increasingly secular European countries, Spain is finding it difficult to attract new recruits to the priesthood in recent years and has had to resort to importing priests, often from its former colonies in Latin America.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
