The Catholic League is upset over a Halloween costume featuring a sexually aroused priest and issued a statement asking why the store Spirit Halloween doesn’t sell similar costumes for imams and rabbis.
Spirit Halloween sells the costume, known as “Happy Priest,” alongside a “Thank You Father” costume that shows a pregnant nun. The League’s Bill Donohue called both the costumes “offensive.”
“Anyone who wants to buy a costume with a rabbi or imam sporting an erection is out of luck — there are none available,” Donohue said in a statement. “There are also no vulgar Jewish or Muslim women costumes available. Just ones for nuns.”
“The most prominent store selling the offensive priest and nun costumes is Spirit Halloween; they have stores throughout the nation and have a big online following.
The store even says of the priest-with-an-erection garb, ‘Pair this mens [sic] costume with the Pregnant Nun for some really twisted fun.’”
Spirit Halloween is currently sold out of the Happy Priest
