Rome's "Hot Priests" Calendar For 2014

[icyfroth]

A group of young priests in Italy have thrown tradition to the wind and posed for a calendar that reportedly aims to inform people about the Vatican.

The 12-page document contains black and white images of smiling seminarians in various locations in Rome as well as a few pages of information about the Catholic church.

Photographer Piero Pazzi, who put together the calendar, said the men are all real priests and none had been paid for their modelling.

"I meet most of them on the streets in Rome and ask to take their photos," he said.

 

"Most are happy to be photographed after I tell them the reason for the calendar."

"Yes, the men are good-looking, but it is just a product, a way for people to be better informed about the Vatican".

Mr Pazzi, who launched the calendar in 2003, said priests from all over the world are welcome to take part in the calendar but add they will need to travel to Rome to be photographed.

Is nothing sacred anymore? I'm not a practising Christian and certainly not Catholic, but this is not becoming for the Church IMO!

This is surely the work of the devil!

Mr Pazzi! Is that a nom de plume of Lucifer?

Short for papparazzi?

So which one do you like best?

When I was in primary school (grade 4), I fell in love with Sister Agnes.She never returned my admiring glances.Obviously not interested in younger men.I decided then never to fall in love with a nun again.Until I saw that Deborah Kerr movie:-)

I should hope not! They're priests!

They aren't eunichs! just normal people who have a vocation.

I believe catholic priests take a vow of celibacy.

[azureline**]

does that then mean they are not interested in women? No, it just means they have taken a vow of celibacy.

LOL at Meep,

Celibacy isn't necessary, essential, or obligatory in the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic Churcg does NOT teach that all clergy must be celibate.

It's a discipline, not a doctrine. However, there is an optional celibate episcopacy, which means that only celibate priests can become bishiops.

You girls have been real norti tonight! These priests are meant to be servants of God and you are perving on them. That is real norti I reckon you should all be smacked on the bottom and forced to go to church every sunday for 1 year and attend confession. 🙂

the priest at my parish doesn't look like any of them though...

I've only ever seen older ones - like old enough to be Pope ones

[amber-eyed-girl]

mentioning smacks on the bottom is just as naughty methinks 🙂

The Calendar is doing what it set out to do; create favorable discourse.

if all priests look like that, betcha the number of attendees would increase.
