KAKA'S TROPHY BELONGS TO JESUS, HATERATING ENSUES
AC Milan phenom, Kaka (or Señor Sexy as we prefer to refer to him), is a self-professed good boy: no sex before marriage, belongs to jesus - all that squeaky clean Jessica-Simpson-before-she-married-Nick type of stuff. He's a devout Christian who not only walks the walk but loves to talk a whole lot about how great the walk is.
After winning the FIFA World Player of the Year this December (Cristiano's face = priceless), Kaka was inspired to give his coveted trophy over to his church back home in Sao Paulo, a branch of the Apostolic Reborn in Christ (Renascer) church.
The inscription on the trophy says:
"I deliver this up joyfully to God, because he is the reason behind every victory."
Lots of people have been to visit the trophy, obviously, but not everyone's pleased by Kaka's donation, especially since the Renascer Church is going through a bit of scandal. Two of it's founders, Estevam Hernandes and Sonia Haddad Moraes Hernandes, were sentenced to jail for five months after they were caught trying to smuggle $56,000 into the States. Police also questioned Kaka's own links to the couple.
Father Gabriele Cipriani, deputy secretary of the National Council of Christian Churches of Brazil:
"What is shocking to public opinion is not the (donation of the trophy) but is the fact the (it) has taken place at the very moment that the Renascer Church is at the heart of this storm"

You'd think Tom Cruise would try to get a decent handle on Becks before he'd ever try for Kaka, wouldn't you? You just never know with those sneaky scientologists.
How long before he becomes a scientologist?
