Picture: The human dimension of "women priests"

You sometimes will hear proponants talk about the wonderful benefits that would result at liturgies if the Church allowed women priests.

Now, I'm not claiming that there aren't benefits to seeing someone who appears like this lady at a liturgy. Benefits like appreciating beauty, for instance. But frankly, I don't think this is the kind of beauty I should be specifically appreciating during the liturgy. After all, it can be hard enough to keep a firm custody of the eyes at Mass, especially nowadays.

In seriousness, how revealing (pun intended) is this picture?

The website of Swedish company Mariasjodin which markets this line of "casual priest" clothing reads (with a rough internet translation): "Functional and tidy ... for another generation of clergyman [ironically]."

Ph/t: Diogenes.
