Four men studying to become priests must choose between their faith and their libido -- and it all plays out on TV.
'God or the Girl,' a new A&E reality show that debuts on Easter Sunday, is already taking heat from Catholic groups for allegedly trivializing the journey of becoming a priest.

The show chronicles four men-- all of whom are studying to become priests-- as they struggle with the notion of celibacy. One student has a girlfriend with whom he is in love. The show, which has already been shot, plays out over four weeks. In the last episode, each man reveals his decision.
Critics say the show resembles 'Temptation Island.' The four participants, however, believe it's an revealing peek into their "holy journey."
