Nudity in a Catholic Magazine
By Marc • Nov 8th, 2005 • Category: the ChurchROME (Reuters) – One of Italy’s most popular magazines, the wholesome Famiglia Cristiana weekly, will apologize to its readers for printing an advertisement which showed a woman’s naked bottom, the magazine said Tuesday.
The advert caused a storm as it was the first time the Catholic magazine, whose title means “Christian Family,” had shown nudity, a common feature in many non-religious magazines in Italy in both advertising and editorial content.
Normally I’d say accident happen. But this line makes it sound like this was not an accident…
Sciortino initially defended the magazine’s decision to run the advert but backed down after complaints from readers.
That’s too bad. But still, there nothing wrong with forgiving someone when they admit fault and ask for forgiveness….Right????
