They are rather loosely designed as infomative calendars about the Vatican but the casting would lead you to suspect the calendar is meant as something else entirely DAAAmm, but some of them are hotties! ---

Holy, moley. When I was growing up, the parish priest at St. Catherine’s didn’t look nuthin’ like these guys. If he would have, I’d have been spending lots of time in confession during my youth. ---

Is this the one-way bus to hell? Why yes. Yes it is. [This priest](http://calendarioromano.org/) is so pretty, it’s worth the trip! But isn’t this one of the signs of the apocalypse? Men who’ve taken vows of celibacy using sex to make money? What’s next? Father Joseph making like Joe Buck in Midnight Cowboy? No don’t tell me he has already! \ La La La I Can’t Hear You!!! ---

Phwoar! But what a _waste!_ How absolute are vows of celibacy, do you think? ---

> [@Jennyrosity](#): > > Phwoar! But what a _waste!_ How absolute are vows of celibacy, do you think? Depends on the superior who’s handling things. My father knew of a monk who walked into the abbot’s office, suitcase packed and a woman who importance was pretty obvious by his side. Said simply “I wish to be relieved of my vows.” Granted. Also granted that this is purely anecdotal and I have no earthly idea where you’d find stats on the % of requests for granted relieval. ---
