Pittsburgh: Not Holier Than Thou

According to today's Post-Gazette, a Christian concert had to be canceled at PNC Park due to "low ticket sales:"
The festival was slated to feature Christian musical acts and motivational speakers. Among the artists scheduled to appear were the Grammy-winning Casting Crowns, Rebecca St. James and Jars of Clay.
We suspect that Pittsburgh is no less religious than other cites of its size and that the low sales volume was due more to this concert being aimed at Born Agains than Catholics.

Now, if they had scheduled the Pope to speak...

...We hope he wouldn't see this calendar hanging on any walls in town:



And, yes, we have learned that the "priests" are just actors.

But you didn't know that when you saw the picture of Father Yummy (and with Catholicism, it's the thought that counts!) so that will be fifteen Hail Marys, seven Our Fathers and one Act of Contrition.

(The calendar can be purchased here.)

They ARE real priests -- Pope Benedict appeared in the 1953 calendar.
