Tattooed Priest Stands Half-Naked at Novus Ordo Meal Table

Father Dominik Toplek, 49, of Dornbirn, Feldkirch diocese, presented himself bare-chested and with tattoos on his back at the meal table of his parish church to Austrian state television ORF (14 October) as part of a programme promoting a temporary tattoo studio in Toplek's parish centre.

Toplek proclaimed that he does not only preside over "dusty" Eucharists, but considered himself “open-minded". He further let the audience know that he was aware of "provoking" believers while standing at the Novus Ordo meal table with a naked, tattooed upper body.

The tattoo on his back represents Toplek's "creed". It includes the image of Leonardi da Vinci's Vitruvian Man with well displayed genitals.

On Pentecost 2020, Toplek celebrated an invalid Novus Ordo meal Eucharist table parody.

Is this to imply that one who has gone through many flavors of life and learning (which includes tattoos) should not take his path on to priesthood because of ...?

Several subjects are under discussion WRT this posting (IMO)
1) A priest baring his torso in a non private area (ok, truly inappropriate - go to the privy and close the door!)
2) A person with a past which led to priesthood... with regrettable/forgivable errors in his past.

Oh... BTW... I have no way of making the choice of getting a tattoo anything but vanity regardless of how circuitous the path to it may be. Doubt it? Find one person who got such an adornment and did not present it to others (and themselves in the process).

No, it implies that since he has taken the path to priesthood, he should behave with the dignity befitting a priest, especially when he's officiating as a priest in church. His reference to "dusty" Eucharists betrays a secular, worldly contempt for the Real Presence, too. TL;DR Even if he was just laity, this is still a church, not a tattoo convention or a gay pride parade.

This is acceptable because Toplek likely doesn't speak a single word of Latin.

De Novo Ordo priesters en paus Franciscus beiden producten van het Tweede Vaticaanse Concilie hebben een Duivels Uitdrijver nodig, een exorcist.

This Austrian diocese (Feldkirch) is very much and openly pro-gay (e.g. For the First Time: German speaking Diocese Participates At Homosexual Event)

There is no "ordus Novo", there is the Catholic Church in these end times which has been infiltrated by wolves a long time ago [ecclesiastical freemasons in the 19th century = the permanent instructions of the Alta Venditta + communist agents = AA-1025: the diary of an anti-apostle & Bella Dodd]...

There is no "ordus Novo", there is the Catholic Church in these end times which has been infiltrated by wolves a long time ago [ecclesiastical freemasons in the 19th century = the permanent instructions of the Alta Venditta + communist agents = AA-1025: the diary of an anti-apostle & Bella Dodd]... In these end times, when the Church needs support and prayers the most to fight the wolves, many traitors left the Church, not knowing that as Jesus went through His Passion, the catechism says that the Church would also have to go through her passion [CC 675]...
Our true pope is Benedict XVI, that's why he never left the Vatican.
There are tons of sede traitors nowadays, who instead of siding with the suffering one true Church, left to join cheap sects and promote division - divisions don't come from God!!!
These traitors act like protestants, picking and choosing what's more convenient to their erroneous narratives!

Never happen in Korea. Instead, some leftist priests follow liberation theology.
