Padre Agosto Is a Hottie

I’m from Louisiana, where boys are cute and Catholics are numerous. So if you consider the logic, it stands to reason that I’ve seen a few good-looking priests in my life. (Any of my Catholic friends are welcome to provide a Venn diagram that shows overlap of cuteness/Catholicism/celibacy to prove my point.)

But I have never in my life seen this:

Anna* gets all hot and bothered

For those of you who don’t read Italian, allow me to translate: It’s essentially a “Hot Priests” calendar.

Stay classy, Italy.

Each month features an attractive priest in clerical garb casually hanging out among his parishioners. One picture, for real, showed a priest in a cafe, grinning from behind his Macbook.

Am I the only one who, while perusing a calendar, immediately flips to her birth month to ensure that the cutest kitty/funniest Dilbert cartoon/most beautiful Ansel Adams photo is assigned to said birth month? I think not. I am pleased to say that, despite their questionable tastes overall, the creators of this calendar did assign the best-looking spiritual advisor to August. Thanks for that, I guess.

Before you ask, no, I did not bring one of these home. If I could have gotten a signed copy, I would have, but even I have standards.

* I make it a practice not to use people’s first names on my blog. I would normally call her MBG (my brother’s girlfriend), but since she’s outed herself in previous comments, she’s fair game.
