Catholic Church Owns Company that Sells Pornography

Catholic officials have an embarrassment on their hands in Germany, where the country’s largest media company, Weltbild, produces pornography despite its 100% ownership by the church.

Within Weltbild’s mammoth book catalog are about 2,500 erotic books, including such titles Anwaltshure (Lawyer’s Whore), Vögelbar (F—kable) and Schlampen-Internat (Sluts’ Boarding School).

When asked about the company’s pornographic materials, a Catholic Church spokesman told Worldcrunch: “Weltbild tries to prevent the distribution of possibly pornographic content.”

In addition to Weltbild, the Church owns a 50% share in publishing company Droemer Knaur, another publisher of pornographic books.

1. does voegelbar really mean that?

3. Yeah, it does.

It means bird but it is also a common slang term that means...(well I'll refrain). But yeah, it does. I speak German :)

Literally the slang translates as "making like a bird" or something along those lines.
