POPE OPPOSES CONDOMS - MTV PROMOTES SAFE SEX

During his first visit to Africa, Pope Benedict XVI opposes condoms saying, "cruel epidemic" (HIV/Aids) should be dealt with through fidelity and abstinence rather than the use of condoms".


Meanwhile, MTV globally launched the 3rd MTV/ The Body Shop campaign " Yes Yes Yes - To Safe Sex". "The campaign focuses on the importance of practising safe sex - if you're going to have sex, it's all about yourself and your partner".


The Pope continued to explain that HIV/Aids was "a tragedy that cannot be overcome by money alone, that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which can even increase the problem".


MTV is promoting self respect, by saying Yes to safe sex "you are respecting yourself and the people you care about". The Body Shop and MTV Staying Alive launched the campaign after a research revealed a "worrying degree of ignorance" amongst young people regarding the importance of safe sex.

The Body Shop and MTV carried out a study which unveiled the shocking lack of safe sex education amongst young people; 10% believed they could avoid contracting HIV because they were "not gay", while 15% thought it was not a virus that affected people under 25.

The Pope said "the traditional teaching of the Church has proven to be the only failsafe way to prevent the spread of HIV/Aids".



If you decide to preach, or spread wisdom, or promote awareness especially when you are an influential figure it is vital that you know your audience and what generation you are speaking to.
We should be encouraging ALL people young or old to protect themselves, and if rolling on a latex condom helps prevent the spread of HIV/Aids then we should be encouraging ALL people who chose to have sex to have safe sex and go latex happy.


Aahh, we figured it out, so this is what the Pope meant by safe sex....
