Catholic Group Sells Easter Themed Porn

OK. This has to go down as one of the stupidest ideas ever. It’s probably right under freeing Barabbas and just over Germany invading Russia. Yeah, it’s that stupid.

The AP is reporting that a Roman Catholic youth group on the Spanish tourist destination island of Mallorca, was a little broke so they came up with a brilliant idea. They decided to pose nearly nude for a calendar recreating scenes from the Passion of Christ. Yup. Easter themed porn.

The calendar features black and white shots of young men and women of Sant Joan, population 2,000, recreating images of the Roman era when Christianity was born.

Images taken in rustic settings include nearly naked gladiators fighting with spears, and Roman centurions with their buttocks visible escorting three imprisoned Christians wearing skimpy loin cloths while carrying a rustic wooden cross.

Another scene shot for the calendar shows 12 naked male models from the town lined up in a row, smiling and holding classic Roman plumed helmets in front of their private parts.

Mallorca’s Bishop Jesus Murgui correctly criticized the idiotic calendar. “The calendar trivializes Easter,” the Bishop’s office said in a statement.

But guess what, the Catholic group says that the bishop must be wrong because they’ve sold so many of the calendars. Seriously, that’s what they said. Because you know Jesus always said that if something’s popular it’s probably the right thing to do.
