Priests Furious Over Proposed Condom Law

POSTED: 5:09 pm EST January 11, 2006

BOGOTA, Colombia -- Roman Catholic priests in a Colombian town are furious over a councilman's proposal that people 14 and older must carry a condom at all times to reduce unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.

William Pena, a councilman in Tulua, said Wednesday he will present a formal proposal requiring all men and women - even those just on a visit to the town - to carry at least one condom. Those caught empty-pocketed could be fined $180 or ordered to take a safe sex course, he said.

"Sexual relations are going on constantly," (what...Viagra???) Pena told The Associated Press in an interview. "If you carry a condom, chances are you'll use it during the day. It's not going to be there forever."

Tulua has one of the highest rates of HIV infection in Colombia, he said. The proposal will be debated by other town leaders and could go into effect by March.

Roman Catholic priests in the Cauca Valley town, 150 miles southwest of Bogota, were fuming over the plan.

The Rev. Jesus Velasquez said it would only encourage sexual relations and ridiculed it as absurd. "I would have to have a condom even though I'm a member of the clergy," he was quoted as saying in the newspaper El Tiempo.

Another town priest, the Rev. Roberto Sarmiento, said improved sex education would be a better solution.

"Nobody can force someone to carry a condom in their pocket," he said. "They should instead carry the responsibility of what sexual relations mean."

All I want to know is:

When is the Roman Catholic Church managment going to get some sort of clue in this area of "human relations?"

Secondly, if they are successful...

Why can't they also support me being allowed to haul a Bazooka or some other form of giant rocket launcher around in my pocket to use to blast the heads off of stupid people like these described in this story, along with the stupid people that get paid to publish idiocy like this story represents?

Sorry...I'm going to go take my nap now...

I'm geting cranky...
