Yes, and seriously, how can they look each other in the eye after that? It’s too weird!
If there’s anything scarier than a bunch of Boomers naked, its a bunch of Boomers naked, whose friends aren’t stopping them from getting their pictures taken for a calendar.
we aren’t talking about these people walking around nude in their own homes, we are talking about them standing naked, in church, while a photographer takes their pictures to make a product to sell as a fundraiser. Please find the bible quote that calls this “natural”
I was referring more to posts like rpp’s “Shameful and scandalous. The pastor and those who posed seem morally bankrupt.” Sure it might not have been the way we would raise money or the best way to have raised money in general, but that seems like a little much to me.
I understand it was in a church but it was for a good cause. The ends justify the means, especially since the means are just posing tastefully (w/o ‘parts’ showing) for a calendar to support Breast Cancer Awareness.Men are instantly aroused by the sight of naked women. This is a basic fact of life and I am getting sick of society jamming nudity down our throats at every turn. The fact that the women are “elderly” is even worse since they have had their dignity stolen through deception.
LOL. Didn’t Adam and Eve only have the inclination to put on clothes after they had committed sin? Before, they were just prancing around naked.
I think having or not having a tabernacle is a non-sequitur; if they consider it God’s house, wouldn’t it be inappropriate whether or not he’s at home?While that would be fine to do in an Episcopal church building since they don’t have a tabernacle with the real presence of Christ, it would be in poor taste and irreverent to perform such a stunt in a Catholic church where Christ is truly present in the Eucharist in the tabernacle. It’s the difference between sacred space for the Church to gather in full communion and a meeting place for a separated ecclesial community. The Episcopal church is the latter.
IMHO, those kind of calendars are usually pretty funny and largely harmless, though you wouldn’t catch me posing for such a thing as it would no doubt decrease the number of calendars sold.
I don’t know about other men, but what I picture as the OP’s description is hardly erotic. And the women in these calendars…hey, it’s their dignity they’re losing.Men are instantly aroused by the sight of naked women.

The fact that the women are “elderly” is even worse since they have had their dignity stolen through deception.
That is inappropriate, creepy, stupid, sinful and highly unnecessary. It lacks modesty and could easily lead men, particularly older men to the near occasion of sin through lust. Younger men will have their appetite for more “age appropriate” pornographic material awakened.
Exactomundo. Very Un-biblical.
Far cry from the chapel veils that the little girls had to wear when I was in Catholic school. I remember a little girl had to stay in the classroom during Mass and write a penance because she forgot her veil. Who knows? She might be one of those Episcopalian ladies now in protest!!

you’re probably right!!Is “bingo” mentioned in the bible?Why didn’t they take a page from we Catholics and run a “bingo”
For what it’s worth, the pastor is but not “he” a “she.” Does that make a difference?Someone needs to ask this pastor why he has to become a porn merchant for the sake of raising money.
