They shouldn't apologize - it was a leaked brainstorm, not an official suggestion. Now every time they "brainstorm" in that office they'll have to censor themselves, and future visits will suffer from a lack of creativity.

Perfect length; took about 30 seconds to read. Although I wish it contained a sentence about the planned protest and/or Richard Dawkin's comment.

Not only should the Pope hand out condoms he should have his photo on the packaging wearing one. It would do more for preventing abortions than all his sermons.

Which is the beauty of sex with underage males. No abortions necessary! Maybe that's why they aren't so interested in sponsoring contraception.

yeah, gay pedophile catholic joke; I can't help it when they give this much material.
