Catholics for Choice may have to take out a new insurance policy – for shock! On Sunday, a Tanzanian woman walked by the booth. Upon seeing our “Good Catholics use Condoms” message, she “had to sit down” – she had never seen Catholics promoting condom use.
She recounted that throughout her career fighting for reproductive rights, she had encountered vehement resistance from local bishops bent on denying sexual education and resources to those who needed it most.
One image had persisted in her mind – a pamphlet with a skeleton next to the words “condom user.” This was the sexual education present in the girls’ dormitory at a local Catholic boarding school. Talk about irreverent. She thanked us for our work and wished she had our posters and resources 20 years ago!
