Heart rending.
Jesus objectified.
The so-called Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in San Francisco are at it again with their annual competition for the hottest looking Jesus. The competition is held on Easter Sunday, featuring barely clad male contestants. It is not funny. It is blasphemous. It is hypocritical for men, dressed as nuns, pretending to be Catholic, to put on such a show.
Catholics have labelled the annual pageant blasphemous, considering that previous entrants have included “old school Jesus”, “surfer Jesus” and “zombie Jesus”, an irreverent take on the Easter message of Christ rising from the dead.
But the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence insist the contest is all part of their mission to “promote universal joy and expiate stigmatic guilt”. - Source

Do you have proof the Sisters are pretending to be catholic, because i don’t see them claim that.

Willingly mocking the creator of the universe–every breath they take is given by the One they mock–I would not want to deal with the consequences of their actions. Lord forgive them for they know not what they do.

Eric-
Maybe not proof, but I can offer circumstantial evidence - they caused a scandal by coming forward and receiving communion from the Archbishop of San Francisco a few months ago, and their statement to the media concerning that episode certainly claims some sort of communion with the Catholic church.

It’s amazing how blasphemers have their protectors.
As long as they are not Catholic it is OK to mock Jesus Christ?
It would be a hate crime were it Mohammad that they were mocking.

This is the week for Divine Mercy. Here’s hoping they get some. They will need it-big time.
