Catholic Magazine Shows Naked Bottom

The Famiglia Cristiana weekly has apologized for showing a naked bottom in a country where nudity is common in non-religious magazines. If you want to see what the fuss is about, Speigel's Daily Take has published the photograph toward the bottom of the page.

The advert, for a maker of ventilation machines, shows a naked bottom through a misty glass shower door. “If you want to see clearly, call an electrician now,” reads the text.

Editor Antonio Sciortino initially defended the magazine’s decision to run the advert but backed down after complaints from readers.

Instead of apologising, shouldn't he have just asked for forgiveness?
