Pick what’s wrong with this sentence: Gay Catholic Priest has minor dance hit singing in drag

The drag queen singer known as “Big Mama Capretta” has outed himself as a practicing gay Catholic priest from Colomnbus, Ohio.
Vincent Capretta, known to his flock has “Father Anthony” said in a statement that “It’s Big Mama, y’all! And I am no longer afraid to come out of the closet as a gay Catholic priest! I am enjoying my life being who I am and who God intended me to be! Now let’s dance, y’all!”
Big Mama may not be a household name yet, but he/ she currently has the number 25 spot on the U.S. Billboard Club Play dance chart.
Here’s Big Mama’s latest song. Three hail marys and a couple of bloody marys for the road.

I'll tell you what's wrong with the first sentence of the article. You spelled the word “Columbus” wrong.
Other than that, good article.

Sorry, but your journalistic integrity is in question when you happily report that this man is a Catholic priest, when, in fact, a simple Google search would have show you that he is not part of the actual Catholic Church. He is a priest in name only belonging to something called the “Independent Old Catholic Church”. From their website:
“An All-Inclusive & Welcoming Congregation
Calling to worship all children of God who have a desire to learn and honor the life and teachings of Jesus Christ regardless of one's origin, race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. Not withholding of the Sacraments to individuals who choose to exercise one's civil right to birth control, divorce, or abortion. Abortion is strongly discouraged.
Our church recognizes equally both women and men serving as valid Catholic deacons, priests, and bishops in apostolic succession. Clergy may be single or married. Celibacy in not mandatory amongst clergy.
We maintain the Seven Sacraments of Baptism, Penance, Holy Eucharist, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, and Annointing of the Sick. The Sacrament of Marriage is offered to both same and opposite sex couples.”
Obviously, none of this is permissible according to solid Catholic doctrine, although it is fashionable to ignore the fact. Christ didn't say “do whatever you want, it doesn't matter.”
The saddest thing is that they advertise themselves as valid clergy when they are not actually Catholic, but apostate and heretic. This rules out apostolic succession.
