The Pope is under fire again for suggesting that condoms will not protect against the Mexican Swine Flu.
"It is totally irresponsible of the Pope to suggest that condoms will not reduce the chance of contagion. It is clear that condoms will provide 99% protection if used correctly. To suggest otherwise is only going to encourage people not to use them at a time public health is dependent upon the protection of the all-purpose rubber." quoted a gay health professional who wished to remain anonymous.
The Pope has also suggested sick people stay indoors, keep clean and eat well. He also suggested to refrain from casual sex in drunken orgies whilst exhibiting flu symptoms, if not forever.
"Again, the Pope is being impractical. This goes against all human nature, and I doubt your average 15 year old is going to refrain from frequent, casual, multi-partnered sex just because they have a sniffle."
"It concerns me that the Catholic world will take any of the Pope's suggestions seriously on this matter. As an atheist, I speak for all Catholics when I say that I am deeply offended that the Pope would suggest this when he is clearly not a medical doctor. People only have a limited amount of money. When faced with a choice between a three pack of strawberry flavoured condoms, or chicken soup, my worry is they will purchase chicken soup."
[Yes, it's satire]
