BLANTYRE, Malawi (Reuters) - A Malawian court convicted a Catholic priest and a nun of disorderly conduct Thursday after they were caught engaged in a sexual act in a parked car with tinted windows.

The Malawian priest, 43, and the 26-year-old nun from neighboring Zambia spent the night in police cells after being caught in the act Wednesday, police said.

A court in the capital Lilongwe handed down suspended jail sentences of six months with hard labor after the pair pleaded guilty to charges of idleness and disorderly conduct.

"These people were caught in a sex act," Assistant Superintendent Kelvin Maigwa told Reuters.

Officials in the Roman Catholic Church, whose priests are barred from sex or marriage, declined to comment.

3. 6 months hard labor for sex?

Crikey. I hope they got off first. Use darker tint next time.

5. This only made the news because they were a priest and a nun.

I wonder how many of us have, at one time or another, been guilty of sexual acts in parked automobiles?

6. How does this effect the Malawi space program?

Which consists of a man, a bucket, and his dreams.

8. This happened here in Boston in 1960.

It never made the papers but I knew the people involved. It was considered shocking at the time but now no one cares.

There was a baby born from the union.

9. Anyone else think them having tinted windows is oddly amusing?

Maybe it's just me. I AM a godless heathen, after all.

10. Did they get to finish? These stories never give the answers I want.

Lousy reporting. 1st rule of reporting. Answer the obvious questions generated by your story.

Other unanswered questions in this story:
What position were they using? The missionary position?
What make and model of car?
Front seat or back seat?
Was the priest using a condom and if so, does that make it doubly sinful in the eyes of the Pope?
