Publisher Owned by Catholic Church Reportedly Selling Porn Novels

A publishing house owned by the Catholic Church has been selling thousands of pornographic novels, The Independent reports. The news, reportedly first revealed in the publishing-industry newsletter Buchreport, relates to Weltbild, Germany’s largest bookseller after Amazon and wholly owned by the Catholic Church.
Buchreport revealed that Weltbild's massive assortment of titles available to customers online includes some 2,500 "erotic" books with lewd titles. The publisher's website also pictures the titles' lascivious dust jackets that feature color photographs of scantily clad women in high heels and erotic underwear, according to the newspaper.
...
Catholic bishops responded with a statement claiming that "a filtering system failure" at the publishing house had allowed the books to stray on to the market. "We will put a stop to the distribution of possibly pornographic content in future," they said.

True. The books were for the clergy, but somehow they strayed on to the market. Scandal to the faith. And there is more to it [regrettably, quote length limit]: books promoting satanism and magic as well. Somebody there ought to be burned at a stake.

Don't know why they're embarrassed by this. Easily, one of the most 'pornographic' books ever published is the Bible ...

For the priests? I thought this would be more to their tastes... something... Shakespearean.

Well, they are merely a bit behind the times, that's all. Under Alex VI they used to run several bordellos in Rome, and the papal treasury was much augmented thereby. But the promotion of magic and satanism is, and has always been, a burnable offense.

Nasty stuff too. Judges 19's pretty stomach-turning.
