Yet another Ancient but possibly Apocryphal Story

One more, from the same paper:

The fabliau Prestre crucifié dramatizes social anxieties about middle class

adultery with clergy in the portrayal of a priest who is castrated by a sculptor

of crucifixes who suspects his wife is unfaithful with the local priest. When the sculptor returns home, the priest hears him coming into the front door, jumps out of bed, and decides to hide by mounting a newly carved cross and playing the body of Christ.

Considering the body on the cross, the sculptor decides that the prick

and balls are not right so he cuts them off, leaving the mutilated priest to

flee into the street.[8]

Considering the body on the cross, the sculptor decides that the prick and balls are not right so he cuts them off, leaving the mutilated priest to flee into the street.[8]

I would think that once the sculptor touched the fake sculpture, he'd have realized it was flesh and not stone.
