Saintly Italian Beauty Pageant Is Thanks to God

ROME (Reuters) - Praise the Lord for sexy girls! An Italian priest on Sunday prepared to celebrate his parish's patron saint by presiding over a beauty pageant to choose the town's candidate for the upcoming Miss Italy competition, Italian news agency ANSA reported.

"If you look at the girls in an innocent way it's not a sin but a way of thanking the Lord," Carlo Crucianelli, a priest in the central Italian town of Civita Castellana, told ANSA.

"Beauty is never embarrassing for it is a gift from the Lord."

The beauty queens of the parish will take to the catwalk on Sunday evening on a piazza in front of the parish church of San Luigi Gonzaga.

Crucianelli is the first known Italian priest to head a beauty pageant jury, although a Capuchin monk played the same unusual role in the southern town of Cropani in 1997.

Especially for boys under the age of 9.

LOL!! The swimsuit competition for the little boys would probably be their favorite part of the competition. Although the talent competition could prove to be interesting, as well. :P
