Sluts' Boarding School (graphic: Blue Panther Books)
Catholic officials have an embarrassment on their hands in Germany, where the country’s largest media company, Weltbild, produces pornography despite its 100% ownership by the church.
Within Weltbild’s mammoth book catalog are about 2,500 erotic books, including such titles Anwaltshure (Lawyer’s Whore), Vögelbar (F—kable) and Schlampen-Internat (Sluts’ Boarding School).
When asked about the company’s pornographic materials, a Catholic Church spokesman told Worldcrunch: “Weltbild tries to prevent the distribution of possibly pornographic content.”
In addition to Weltbild, the Church owns a 50% share in publishing company Droemer Knaur, another publisher of pornographic books.
