Who knew a bunch of shirtless Mormon hunks could lead to so much drama?! Don't get your magic underwear in a bunch!
TMZ has obtained a letter sent to Chad Hardy, the Mormon creator of the steamy Men on a Mission calendar, by the LDS church -- threatening disfellowship or excommunication for "conduct unbecoming a member." Coincidence? Chad thinks not.
Hardy tells TMZ he believes he's being targeted for the 12-monther -- but admits he doesn't attend church meetings or pay his tithing. He also believes his repentance will include closing up shop on the calendar, which he ain't ready to do. Save me Joseph Smith!
For their part the Church refuses to comment on the whole thing, "out of respect for the member himself."
We're guessing they won't like his next idea either -- Mormon Muffins: A Taste of Motherhood.
UPDATE: On July 13, Chad Hardy was officially excommunicated for "conduct unbecoming a member of the church."
