Orthodox Priests Pose Naked For 2015 Calendar

Things are not exactly friendly for the LGTB community in Russia, so this new edition of the Orthodox Calendar returns, with men who may or may not be Orthodox priests, to make a real splash with their unique combination of homo-eroticism and religious imagery. According to its creators, who are from Romania and have released two previous calendars in support of LGBT acceptance, the 2015 calendar, set in Russia, is called “S.A.L.I.G.I.A,” which is Latin for Superbia, Avaritia, Luxuria, Invidia, Gula, Ira, Acedia (Pride, Avarice, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Anger, Sloth) and is available in a “classic” and “uncensored” versions. In their statement they clarified the intentions behind the art project, “Three years after its creation, OC is still the only organized global effort against homophobia in the Orthodox region. Our creative team along with our gay-friendly guests are more enthusiastic than ever to work on this new series illustrating the ancient sins forgotten by a declining Church obsessed with demonising the LGBT community.” What do you think of this calendar and its controversial halo?
