A GROUP of circus acrobats called Fratelli Pellegrini (Pellegrini Brothers) yesterday gave Pope Ratzinger an eyeful of toned, rippling flesh during the pontiffs his weekly general audience (see video below).

After removing their shirts, the hunks formed a human tower of for Ratzi and a group of Vatican officials.

According to this report, at the end of the performance Ratzi clapped and briefly got up as he greeted them. A bunch of nuns also applauded enthusiastically

They were invited as part of a convention on circuses organised by the Vatican’s office for migrants.

In reporting the event, Xtra!, a Canadian gay website quoted from its recent review of the Angelo Quattrocchi’s book The Pope’s Not Gay!:

The author revels in many hilarious shots at Benedict’s own rumoured sexual ambiguity. He pokes fun at Ratzinger’s flamboyant sartorial style, his trademark red Prada shoes, his glitter-and-be-gay vestments, and a taste in headwear that would do Philip Treacy proud. He also makes insinuations about the nature of His Holiness’s special relationship with his dreamy, matinee-idol companion, Padre Georg Gänswein.

  1. His Holiness appears to be having some difficulty standing up straight after that performance.

  2. I’ve just seen this on another site and was going to post it here! It made my day!!

    (I though they would have gone over and kissed his ring after the performance.)

  3. I bet he went to bash the Bishop after seeing that

  4. I’m not gay, but those guys could maybe persuade me into a manly wrestle and massage.

  5. I wonder if the pope formed a human tower watching this?

  6. The Pope, some Bishops, some nuns and some hunky male athletes. Gonna have to call Rule 34 on this…

  7. PHWOAR!

  8. I wonder what was happening under his robe.

  9. Sorry to drag everyone away to weightier topics, but it’s interesting this happened at an event organised by a ‘Vatican office for migrants’. I bet one thing not on the agenda was the increasing recent racism of Franciscans towards gypsies.
    A couple of years back they leant on the local police and government around Assissi to get gypsies moved out of town because tourist cash which might have been spent on religious tat at their mother church was being frittered away on the homeless and refugees instead. Their success in this was the signal for more recent campaigns by professional political bastards in Italy and France (interestingly not in Spain, another ‘traditional’ Catholic country). To my mind it’s an example of the way religious and secular fascists trade on the same myths – in fact you might say sing from the same neo-nazi hymmnbook.

  10. They should have appeared “bottomless” for his holeyness

    Not only could that fraud have never sported the wood that revealed his real opinion of the show, I’ll bet he can’t even piss without a cathetor. If he had died at the event, the autopsy would most likely reveal a lethal overdose of viagra. Never made it back to the Vatican to relive the videos and punish the limp worm.

    Right, this is basically the plot of Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. In that, the gypsy-hater Claude Frollo is an Archdeacon – Disney had to change him to a judge for their cartoon or it never would have been made. So when was that book written? And to what byegone era did it refer? Yep. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

  13. The old ‘holy’ men in dresses have their eyes on the half-naked acrobats. I’m very distracted by the wardrobe girl in black with stiletto heels. Holy sssshit!
