Prankster looks for lesbian love in Church

Churchgoers have expressed shock after finding adverts for lesbian encounters in their Catholic newspaper.

The advertisement appeared in Alive, an Irish church magazine, from a “Catholic lady” looking for a lesbian partner.

It said, “Single Catholic lady, 38, seeks female companion for fun trip to Lesbania” and included a box number for replies.

The request is believed to be a prank, but it is unclear how editors missed the material. One shocked worshipper told the Irish Mirror, “It’s a disgrace. We always bring it home after mass but not this month.

“If the children see this they will have a great snigger. I’d say it was put in by someone just doing it for the laugh, but it will cause offence to older people.

“What next, advertisements for Stringfellows?”
