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.

Wow. Talk about forbidden fruit ... ! That is too funny - a beefcake calendar of Catholic priests. Ah, only in Rome, right? At least they still had their clothes on ... right? Tell me they still had their clothes on!
I completely expected to turn it over and see Chippendale-style priests, but alas, they were all fully-clothed.
I can not believe I'm not getting one of those for Christmas! -VB
The only cute ones were for August and April, our birth months! And remember the weird pic of the "priest" sitting behind his Mac at that desk? So bizarre.
It should be required — priest hotness. The church should have attractiveness standards just like the airlines in the sixties. Every parish should have a weight room and tanning bed.
Let's face it, monthly potlucks ain't pulling 'em in like they used to. We need a reason to get up early on a Sunday morning. If God's supposed to be all omniscient and everything, you'd think he would have figured this out already. Come on, God, keep up.
This is hilarious! Never thought I'd see a calendar like that!
Hope you're having a great weekend!
xo,

Haha! (I'll take 2, ahem.)
Did they have a sexy nun calendar, too?
This post cracks me up! I had so much fun connecting with you this weekend :)
"stay classy Italy" made me laugh! I went to Catholic school but never saw any cute priests...
Too funny. Did it say which church those priests were from?
@exit163:
I assumed they were from all over Rome, but who knows? They may keep all the hotties in one place, so as not to drive the virgins crazy.
That is seriously funny! As an Episcopalian, I see cute priests all the time, but they're usually married (which is a different problem).
Oh I want one....just to piss off all my elderly Catholic relatives!
Love it! I should so get that for one of my Catholic friends!
And, yes, I DO flip to December "just to make sure." ;)
Umm...interesting. Aren't they tempting us to think about things we're not supposed to think about? With people we're definitely not supposed to think about those things with?? Maybe it's a test. Or maybe they just see it as a way to rake in some dough.
Great Christmas present idea, umm, well, that just is wrong. Love your blog!
Oh I hadn't even thought about all the possibilities for presents -- stocking stuffer, maybe? Or how about in your Easter basket?
Naughty me.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Park Wife!
Woo hoo, that post is a HOOT! I am also Catholic, and I distinctly remember the priest who served our parish when I was about 10 was a hottie. He didn't stick around too long... now I'm questioning why!
And I *always* flip straight to April to see if I have the cutest dog/cat/baby/firefighter in the calendar. You're not alone!
