Not looking so good for Jesus

A cosmetics range that uses Jesus as the central plank of its marketing campaign has been withdrawn from shops after Catholic protest.

The American company, Looking Good for Jesus, sells perfumes and other pampering products with cruciforms and images of Christ flanked by women but Catholics in Singapore called for the range to be pulled from shelves.

The slogans used on products such as Believe in God breath spray, include "Get tight with Christ", "Get His Attention" and "Redeem Your Reputation and More". 

It's a long way from the expensive bottle of nard Mary poured over Jesus' feet but you can also buy Virtue Perfume, Pope's Cologne, and handcreme made by Norwegian nuns, to keep you beautiful on the outside as well as the inside.

The Pope's Cologne provides an interesting historical insight into the pontificate of Pius IX in addition to being an elegant, aristocratic , Old World cologne.

Jesus lived a very austere, ascetic and non-materialistic life. He should never to invoked for cosmetics, perfumes or other vainglory products.
