I was at my daughter's school talent show today with my friend. She asked me who the man was at the front with the head teacher (she couldn't see his collar because of how he was standing). "I said he's the parish priest, he's really good looking, isn't he?"
She looked disgusted! She said it was terrible saying that about a priest because they represent God. i asked if she thought he wasn't good looking, and she got a bit flustered and said she doesn't look at priests that way. Yet she's usually the person pointing out nice-looking men wherever we go.
We're both Catholics and it's a Catholic school if that matters.
mardy I can't click on that cos I'm in work, but I assume it's the Thorn Birds? When we were in school my mate had a MAHOOSIVE crush on him in that role.
Also, another girl I was in school with, ended up married to a priest (Catholic, he left the priesthood for her). Last I heard they were v happy with a couple of children. I assume she thinks he's gorgeous.
Finally, my grandfather trained to be a Catholic priest, but the head of the seminary told him, shortly before ordination, that the priesthood wasn't for him. Several months later my granny spotted him on a Legion of Mary outing, and drooled over him (6 foot tall, trained as a carpenter, wearing tweed plus fours). So she found an almost priest very sexy! (when she was 90 she was still talking about that day...)

He did come out eventually didn't he?
Farewell - another crossed post!

My first thought was Father DeBricassart, he was HOT.
Tell your friend that whilst visiting the Vatican City, my friend and I were thinking sinful thoughts about several of the priests.

When a new priest arrived in the parish one of my mother's cronies (aged 70+) commented, "What a waste of an good-looking man!"
We're only human - of course we're going to find some priests attractive (they might find us attractive, too). The problem lies when a woman finds him attractive because he's a priest and as such forbidden fruit. Or makes a bloody fool of herself by flirting with him, which you occasionally see.

YANBU You can't help who you find attractive! You said he's really good looking, not "He looks a good shag"

God, I know about 3 really good looking priests. Although I'm never sure if they are objectively that attractive or whether its the fact that they are priests makes me go a bit Thorn Birdy.
Why can't you say if they're attractive. I know our local priest has a bit of a soft spot (hmm) for Juliana Marguiles [shrug]

Wonder what your friend would make of the episode of SATC where Samantha finds a priest good looking? Maybe it would show how restraint you really were
