Instagram priest takes to Venezuela's streets "with the people"CARACAS - Venezuelan priest Luis Antonio Salazar has built a solid social media following over the past two years preaching the Bible over Instagram, breaking the mold of the country’s conservative Catholic church.
“If the people are on the street, you have to be with the people,” the former male beauty pageant contestant said in his office in eastern Caracas, decorated with a cross and pictures of the Virgin Mary. “Since January 23, I started going into the streets to accompany the people.” “For me, he’s like the rock-star priest, the millennial priest,” said student Carol Alvarez, 23, who hopes Salazar will lead her confirmation ceremony.

And so, while fans of the show might think it appropriate to pose for selfies at the nuclear reactor site, they are quite wrong.
