Editor's note: This article was originally published on February 16, 2022. It has since been updated. A Catholic priest resigned after an investigation found that he used one wrong word for more than 20 years while performing baptisms. All baptisms performed by Father Andres Arango were declared void because he mistakenly used "We" instead of "I." Bishop Thomas Olmsted of the Diocese of Phoenix announced the decision. The investigation revealed that Father Arango consistently said, "We baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit." Olmsted clarified that he was supposed to say "I baptize" and not "We baptize," reported CNN. The pastor apologized for using the 'wrong formula.'
