An Arizona priest quit after learning he had used the wrong word while performing baptisms throughout his career. The Catholic Diocese of Phoenix estimates thousands of people were affected by the mistake.

The Catholic Diocese of Phoenix found that Rev. Andres Arango had been incorrectly saying "we baptize" instead of "I baptize." The error made thousands of baptisms and subsequent sacraments invalid.
