Judging from the bottom picture, the priesthood is for gingers.

there is nothing creepier than a filthy papist priest. Except maybe a bunch all together...

It's OK, Father Henry brought the rubbers.

To quote Albus Dumbledore: "Personally, I've never had much time for heroes."

I'd also like to see a poll on how much men are concerned about being 'real men'. I'm guessing a lot if they put it on this poster.

My altar boy cousin was with his family priest in 1981 on their way back from a weekend church retreat when the drunken priest rolled the car, throwing my cousin clear and killing him. I remember the good Father consoling my relatives at my cousin's wake and giving the mass at his funeral.

Turns out later that the priest had been molesting children at several parishes in my home state, which the archdiocese responded to by transferring him around and settling the molestation cases. Eventually, he pled guilty to three counts of child rape.

I'm not a fan of the church's handling of these cases.

It's time to put away childish things, and become a man!

Back in the 1960s, priests were, apparently, hot stuff. Real men AND the ultimate taboo/sexual conquest for a woman. My mom married one, and every woman her age gets all flustered and flushed when I tell the story of how they met.

My how the taboos, and perceptions, have changed.

Shit, www.nypriest.com is TAKEN? I've got $600 in video gear and am having my altar boy robe cleaned as we speak. What the hell am I supposed to do now?

My favorite part of the website this poster advertises is a quote from our current pope:

Christ needs priests who are mature, virile, capable of cultivating an authentic spiritual paternity. For this to happen, priests need to be honest with themselves, open with their spiritual director and trusting in divine mercy. ~ Pope Benedict XVI

[Emphasis added]

It's difficult not to share this dishy article about the Pope's gay problem - just as he is about to step on U.S. soil and to be embraced by W. - he who should cravenly beg forgiveness for having seriously broken the "thou shalt not kill" proviso.

I thought it was an ad for an HBO series about pederasts.

Real men don't molest kids.

Or kiss the ring of some ex-Nazi who thinks he represents God on Earth, even though Jesus preached against the Pharisees ...
