Playboy’s “Mother Mary” a new beginning?

Catholics (RCC) are in an uproar over Playboy’s Mexican edition featuring Argentinean model Maria Florencia Onor draped in a white head cover that trails down her body, revealing a portion of her left breast. Her hands pantomime a mother holding her infant to her breast. The headline, “Te adoramos, Maria,” means “We love you, Maria.”
Father Albert Cutie told CNN’s Rick Sanchez, also a Catholic:
“Listen, there’s no doubt that she’s a beautiful woman. But a stained-glass window and the veil that looks like that, certainly there’s a reference to Mary. Whoever tells you there isn’t is simply being hypocritical or not very honest….I think that they timed it not only with the Virgin of Guadalupe…but also with the month of December. How many nativity scenes are out there this time of the year? How many times is Mary a central figure in this whole celebration? And this is offensive. This is very offensive. It’s blasphemous.”
