THE 2007 ROMAN PRIESTS CALENDAR
In the 2007 Roman Priests Calendar, twelve young priests join the ranks of housewives and porn stars in posing for a glossy calendar, albeit somberly dressed in long, dark robes and broad-rimmed, traditional hats. Roman priests photographed standing in front of famous Rome landmarks were first featured in Calendario Romano 2004, which aimed to promote tourism in the Italian capital.
“I usually photographed gondoliers for Venetian calendars, but this time I wanted to do something Roman, and what better than priests?” the photographer Piero Pazzi said of his work, which is not an official Vatican publication. Critics have said the pictures are inappropriate because people will inevitably compare the priests to the naked pin-ups commonly associated with Italian calendars. They also complain that the profits are not going to charity.
“The priests are young and good looking, but that doesn’t make them sex symbols. That depends on the imagination of the viewer,” Pazzi said at the time of publication of his original 2004 calendar.

Darn, If this is a “naked pin-up” Then I should probably cancel my order for Priests Gone Wild.
