At Play In The House Of The Lord

I read this story, and had to include it here:

Porn film shot in Italian Church

An Italian church may have to be reconsecrated after a porn film was discovered to have been filmed there.

A local man recognised the San Vincenzo church when watching the film called The Confessional Box.

He called police, who studied the film and confirmed scenes of a man dressed as a priest having sex with a bride had been filmed in the church.

The film crew had told the local priest they wanted to use the church for a wedding scene, say ABC News.

According to church law, the Bishop of Marsi, Lucio Renna, will have to rebless all services held in the church since the film was made in 1998.

A bishop will now have to issue a new decree to make all the weddings, christening and funerals which have taken place over the past five years valid.

Makes me wonder: if a church has to be consecrated after this, what has to happen in those churches that were soiled by pederastic priests? Hmmm. Notice how that doesn't get mentioned, eh?

I have to wonder, too: what is the obsession with sex in churches? Remember all the 80s mini-serials that featured priests as harbingers of sexuality, most of the time played by the recently self-outed Richard Chamberlain? Oh, it is to laugh....
