Surely that wasn't the word of god

PORT RICHEY - Father Gregory Andrews switched on his microphone and started Palm Sunday service at noon outside St. James the Apostle Catholic Church. Andrews spoke into a microphone, blessing the palms. The crowd solemnly headed inside to continue the service. They read a Scripture and sang the words from the book of Psalms in the Old Testament, words also said by Jesus before his death: My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Then, a voice cut in: "Yo homey," followed by an expletive. Eight worshipers went outside and chased down a group of teens. A Sheriff's Office report lists two suspects, ages 16 and 17. The teens came across the microphone while hanging out in the gazebo near the church, the report said. No one has been charged yet.
