UK Fundraising has featured the [trend in nude charity fundraising calendars](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/?s=nude+charity+calendars)
for the last couple of years. A priest in Ireland is the latest to offer his unclothed
services in this regard, but to the annoyance of the Bishop of Galway.

Dr James McLoughlin persuaded the publishers of the calendar to withdraw it after
it appeared with a picture of Father Olan Rynn wearing nothing but his clerical 
collar and an appropriately placed Bible.
