Aussie Sex Party releases offensive anti-Catholic ad

Tuesday, June 28th, 2016

The Australian Sex party has taken aim at the Catholic Church in an election ad it says may offend some viewers.

The ad, released on Youtube on Friday, shows a flamboyant dancing priest leading a congregation in a sing along.

The ad accuses the Catholic Church with its “sleazy priests” of “making the world less good”.

The ad also shows a Jesus figure speaking from the cross, saying “Can I get down now?”

Sex Party officials say the ad is meant to highlight the party’s policy of ensuring that religious institutions are transparent and accountable in Australia.
