Ever since it started, the Orthodox Calendar has been keen to push the boundaries with its homoerotic images of priests. However once you’ve got to the edge, it means you’ve got to go further and further each year to have the same effect.
They certainly seem to have managed that with its 2016 edition, which gets extremely steamy with its images of priests caught in all manner of compromising positions – along with kinky images that bring in the anti-LGBT Vladimir Putin and Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill.
The 2016 Calendar is titled Sancta Paraphilia, or as Huffpo puts it, “holy desires, or sexual practices that differ from the traditional.”
The Romanian creators of the Calendar say the images demonstrate, “that desires and temptations do not know gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, color, opinion or beliefs, ability, age or any other status and certainly not borders.”
The hope is that the images will act to combat homophobia in the Orthodox Church, with the makers adding, “Art has long been one of the main channels for social change. What we stand for is true love and free will. And that makes us think one day we will find common ground, in a better world.”
