World Youth Day souvenirs… condoms?

Posted by John Lampard on Wednesday, 25 June, 2008 to the comment subset

World Youth Day attendees could end up with an unusual memento of their experience courtesy of protest group the “NoToPope Coalition” who plan to hand out condoms to pilgrims as they walk to Pope Benedict XVI’s outdoor Sydney mass at Randwick Racecourse in a few weeks time.

Condoms will be handed out to pilgrims en route to a papal Mass at Randwick Racecourse on World Youth Day as part of a protest against the Catholic Church’s attitude to homosexuality, contraception and abortion. A coalition of religious, atheist, gay and lesbian groups will stage the rally in Taylor Square from midday on Saturday July 19 before marching to the main event of the week-long World Youth Day celebrations.
