The VATICAN Is Now Selling Calenders of "Hottie" Clergy

[liberalpragmatist]

I find this absurd. The Vatican is now selling callenders featuring pictures of young, good-looking priests. I find this hilarious. I can't be alone. The calender is at this link: http://www.calendarioromano.org/15.HTM.

[dflprincess]

2. Great

now I have to confess I've had impure thoughts and about priests no less. I'm going to hell.

[ElectroPrincess]

26. Yes, I'll be sharing the "princess" suite with you in between

shoveling all that coal. <eg>

Can't look again or it will cost me another eon or two in Purgatory. Really, they are some handsome young men. MUST TAKE SHOWER NOW!

7. Section 2284 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church

2284 Scandal is an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil. The person who gives scandal becomes his neighbor's tempter. He damages virtue and integrity; he may even draw his brother into spiritual death. Scandal is a grave offense if by deed or omission another is deliberately led into a grave offense.

9. So, where's the scandal?

10. Selling a calender that encourages impure thoughts.

Normally such a thing wouldn't bug me, but when it comes from the organization that considers itself the earthly judge of what is right and wrong it kind of chaps my hide.

20. It really amounts to selling a

"near occasion of sin"

[Fridays Child]

4. The church has always sold sex better than the most cynical of the...

...Madison Avenue ad agencies.

5. In nomine Poppy, et Dubya, et Spirotu Agnew. Amen.

Hail, Ronald, Full of Greed,
Caspar Weinberger is with thee.
Overrated art thou among Presidents, and
Overrated is the Son of Thy Vice President, Dubya.
Holy Ronald, Father of the GOP,
Help us pay for your sinning,
Now and at the hour Dubya leaves office. Amen.

[Loki]

8. That is too funny.

Just showed that to my husband who is a recovering Catholic boy, educated by the Jesuits, and he's rolling on the floor. Thanks for the laugh.

[UrbScotty]

27. We could all use a good laugh right now. (nt)

[JohnKleeb]

6. dude thats hilarious

now bring on em nuns.

[Reverend_Smitty]

11. If the nuns are anything like the ones that taught at my...

grammar school, then no thank you...but the priests were hot! Bless me father for I've had impure thoughts!

[JohnKleeb]

15. I was thinking more about the nun in Saving Silverman

Amanda Detmer is pretty cute, even though she's sort of my antidote of what I am attracted to being both a curly blonde, I like straight haired brunettes. Heh I got so many nun stories from my dad, he got beat up by one.

[liberalpragmatist]

16. No kidding, that's actually why I followed the link

I was hoping I'd get some hot nuns (the irony about me posting a link to pictures of good-looking guys is that I'm a straight male - I just thought it was really funny!)

And since I'm not Catholic, I don't have to feel any sin :)

[JohnKleeb]

17. ha I am Catholic and I dont feel any sin but then again

I don't feel guilt over that kind of stuff easily. They have nun porn :). Ive checked.

[WindRavenX]

12. this HAS to be a joke, right?

LOOK AT THIS HOTTIE!!

Ohhhhh impure thoughts ROCK!

[arwalden]

13. I Do 'em!

[Bluebear]

14. So I'm supposed to buy this but not lust after them? Whaa????

[Placebo]

18. You are to admire their beauty as if they are a STATUE...

a cold, dead, stone, hard statue.

[Menshevik]

19. what the...

my church never had any priests that looked like those guys!!!!

[WildEyedLiberal]

21. I find it HOT

LOL.

For real, why haven't any of my priests looked like that? Guess I need to go to Italy where all those hotties live...

[Elidor]

22. Look at it as a means of identifying who NOT to leave your son alone with

Surely worth the price of admission if one is a catholic.

[Endangered Specie]

23. Maybe now theyll fondle each other instead of the altar boys?

:evilgrin:

[tedzbear]

25. With priests like them, who needs altar boys???

Too bad most priests (like most men) don't look that good. If they did, maybe the church wouldn't have to pay off so many lawsuits.

[PartyPooper]

24. I love men in collars. Especially priests! I once dated a seminarian.

I reckon I'm going to burn in hell for that!

:D

[Fiona]

28. ooh baby

Them's some HOT priests! Too bad they're all gay.
