As reported originally in the Miami Herald, a Brazilian mega-church pastor and his wife were detained by customs officials and US immigration after a luggage search turned up $46,000 dollars in unreported currency instruments.
This was a bit of news to me, as I thought Brazil was far too staunchly Catholic to have any sizable evangelical population.
