Catholic Church Scolds Playboy Berlusconi

Silvio Berlusconi’s penchant for flirting isn’t just annoying his wife—it bothers the Vatican, too. In an editorial, church officials warned Italy’s prime minister to adopt a more “sober and somber” lifestyle, the Telegraph reports. The front-page piece in the church's official newspaper decried his “weakness for young, flowing actresses” as reflecting badly on the country and its leaders. Berlusconi was re-elected last year with wide support from Catholic voters. (More Silvio Berlusconi stories.)
