Have a look at these beautiful adverts produced by the Chilean Government, as seen over at Monstrous Regiment of Women. That's not just Chile, it's really cool!





And if that doesn't cheer you up, have a look at this video, made by the Spanish Bishops. Further proof that there's nothing like a bit of persecution to make you a real Catholic, or a real Catholic bishop for that matter!

Pope Did Not Legitimize Condom Use, Affirms Spanish Bishop

The Catholic News Agency reports the following: The secretary general of the Spanish Bishops’ Conference recently remarked that the Pope's comments in the newly-released book, “Light of the World,” do not legitimize the use of condoms.
Bishop Juan Antonio Martinez Camino noted on Nov. 26, at the conclusion of the Spanish bishops' 96th plenary assembly, that the use of condoms “always” takes place “within a context of immorality.” Thus, he continued, it “can never be recommended.”
He said the Pope’s comments did not represent anything new in Church teaching and therefore the Spanish bishops did not address the issue during their meeting.
“There is no cause for alarm” for Catholics, he said, as they know that the Church’s teachings “are not learned from news headlines” but rather from “catechesis, religion classes and confession.”
Bishop Martinez underscored that the media has been filled with “inaccurate headlines” about the Pope’s comments on condoms. He added that the book, “Light of the World,” by German journalist Peter Seewald, is “an excellent introduction to what it means to be Christian.” It conveys “the perfect compatibility of the Christian faith with the positive aspect of modernity” and it reveals “the heart and mind of the Pope in order to interpret his actions and decisions properly.”
