File Under "Hypocrites"; Boston Edition

The Catholic League, the Archdiocese of Boston and the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts have got their collective skivvies bunched up because a fitness club advertisement showed some nuns in an art class sketching a nude man.

Let's recap, shall we?

Priests raping small boys: Silence and coverup, until much litigation drags it out in the open; a process that was resisted by the Boston Archdiocese until the bitter end.

Nuns drawing a nude figure: Much outrage, accompanied with teeth gnashing.

So I guess if the gym had run an ad showing priests in an art class, sketching nude small boys, then they would have been fine with that?
