I guess you'll not see anything like this in the Catholic Church. A Vicar of the Church of England, the Rev Theresa Davies is not only a Vicar of her parish in Daventry, Northants, but she's also got a few human quirks.

She (and her husband) loves motorcycles and rides around in full leathers and other biker gear, but she's also into the swinger scene in France

The 37 year old vicar, mother of two kids, and her husband vacation (without the kids) regularly in the South of France and partake in wife-swapping.

Teresa, who was ordained  a priest in 2002 has now been barred by her church for 12 years (she'll probably be less inclined to swing at the age of 49).

A spokesman for the Diocese of Peterborough said: "It is always a matter of regret when any clergy fail to set an example of Christian behavior in word and deed. We are very sorry that Teresa Davies has failed to set such an example."

"The witnesses claimed [she] had explained that she and her husband sought sexual gratification this way, and felt no guilt because both partners had agreed to taking part," the Church tribunal heard.

I wonder which part of her behavior shocked the church; the swapping or the motorcycle riding?
