I know this may be old news, but I finally got aroung to searching the Internet for information about the “sexy priest” calendar that is supposedly on sale at the Vatican. To be honest, I thought it was an urban legend. I first heard about this calendar a couple of years ago, but wasn’t able to find it for sale anywhere.
However, it appears to be legit. I was able to find a Web site that promotes the calendar in a very coy manner. The only thing that shows what the calendar is really about are a couple of sample photos.
Here’s what is on the Web site:
the CALENDARIO ROMANO 2009
diPiero Pazzi
the most typical souvenir from Rome
WHERE CAN YOU FIND IT ?
in all kioscos and souvenir store of Rome and Venice or for e-mail: p.pazzi@libero.it
The price of the CALENDARIO ROMANO 2009 is 10,00 (ten) Euros (fine included).
WHAT IS IT?
The CALENDARIO ROMANO 2007 joint to pictures it also contains generical informations about of the Vaticano State
NOTES ABOUT THE VATICAN
Often tourists, mainly foreigners, don’t have a complete knowledge of the things they see while in Rome, especially concerning the rather confusing Vatican grounds.
This calendar intends to give basic information and some notes on the general characteristics of the Vatican with the hope of sating the thirst for knowledge continually demonstrated by the Eternal City’s visitors.
The Vatican is a true and proper sovereign state, heir of the ancient Pontiff State born following the Treaty of Lateranñ the agreed upon protocol signed between the Holy Sede and the Italian State on February 11, 1929…
The copy just goes on and on about the Vatican without mentioning the subject of the calendar — hot, sexy priests. I suppose that’s something they have to do in Rome in order to avoid controversy.
Let me toss out the most obvious and perhaps cliche comment first...
What a fucking waste!
We are delighted you like the calendar. It is available to order online from our website and we will send it anywhere in the world.
Jesus, joseph and mary. Sign me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know! But, I think you'd have to go to Italy. I've never seen American priests this hot.
I have seen the calendar for 2008, in person, on loan from friend. It's definitely real. But the Vatican has nothing to do with it. I have not been a able to confirm these men are ordained clergy. "Father What A Waste"
