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?

This reminds of something that happened many years ago. When I was about 17, my boyfriend dropped me off to the Cathredral for Sunday Mass......there was a stall out the front selling something (as we do) and I stopped to have a browse on the way in......this good looking man siddled up beside me, and said "how are you".....being a good girl, I snubbed him, turned on my heels and went straight inside.

Was I mortified when he walked in to say the Mass!

Of course they could be interested in women, but they take vows to take it no further the vow of celibacy. 

LOL at Meep,
