"I think it was Albert Einstein who said that only two things that were infinite were the universe and human stupidity," says the man who posted the images. The images were posted on the social media site of the church of Saint-Cornély in Brittany.

The church has been placed under the protection of the French government after the images were published. The mayor of the town has said that the images are not of a "major character" and that they are of "low value" The images have been removed from social media sites and are being investigated.
