Cardinal Edward Egan and Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio issued a statement against New York's Valentine's day condom give away and stated that the city officials "fail to protect the moral tone of our community when they encourage inappropriate sexual activity by blanketing our neighborhoods with condoms."
Mayor Michael Bloomburg responded by saying (which I agree with) the city is trying to find ways to reduce its rates of HIV and AIDS, and other sexually transmitted diseases. "They should preach to their congregants what they think is the appropriate ways to live your lives, but the health department has to work with the real world of people not practicing protected sex, not practicing abstinence, and this is a ways to keep people alive."
If Catholics really wanted to reduce rates of premarital sex and abortions, they should stop bringing up their faithful completely ignorant of the cause and effect of premarital sex.
