Holy Shroud (Preti)

Happy Easter everyone! For the occasion, I downloaded here a humorous, but somewhat controversial video, about the Holy Shroud of Turin. This is an episode from Preti (Priests). Maybe my favorite, as it shows the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church regarding the treatment of evidence. Not only is it funny, but it is also in Italian. I find it very refreshing that Italians can voice their skepticism towards the claims of the Catholic Church.

Preti (Priests)

My Italian friend from my years in uni sent me this via Facebook, an Italian animated series of short films about an aspiring young priest learning the tricks of the trade, so to speak, from an older one. The young priest asks lots of very relevant questions and the old one just answers with dogmas, always stupidly, but with the blind strength of his blind faith. My friend sent it to me to help me learn Italian, but also because I am a Godless heathen like her. I still need to follow the subtitle, but I can grasp quite a few sentences. I LOVE it. Because it is Italian and poking fun at the Catholic Church. I mean just because of it, it is worth watching. Anyway, here is episode 2. I will show more on this blog in the future.
