What would WYD be without condoms?
According to Greens MP Lee Rhiannon, dangerous. Saying the Church’s ‘head in the sand approach” is missing out on an important opportunity to send a message of lifelong safe practices to it’s young, Catholic participants. Quite shockingly, the Catholic Church is choosing not to follow the advice of Rhiannon or in the foot steps of the 2000 Olympics, the Gay Games and the annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in promoting condom use among it’s attendees.
Rhiannon has been described to be somewhat of a Stalinist, but without the sense of humor. She was instrumental in having charges brought against Cardinal Pell for instructing Catholic parliamentary members on the Church’s stance on embryonic stem cell research.

“The church has refused to promote health advice that contradicts its position on contraception. It has reasserted its opposition to condom use, argued that Catholics should postpone sex until marriage, and pointed to an “extraordinary low level of indiscretion” at previous events.”
The Church has their head in the sand? Horray for our Church–speak the truth always!

I agree. The Church’s constancy along the lines morality has remained consistent throughout the 2000 year history of the Church. No other institution throughout the history of the world can make that claim. thanks for your comments Tara.

She speaks as if the World Youth Day is one big orgy where young Catholics from around the world meet & fornicate… seriously, can anyone be so jaded & worldly as to see only the animal in the human child of God?
