Catholics making their own choices

Catholics for Choice believes people can make their own judgements about sex and reproduction, says Jonathan deBurca Butler

LAST summer, a billboard ad campaign for Catholics appeared in towns and cities in Kenya. Posters showed a smiling couple. The caption read: “We believe in God, we believe that sex is sacred, we believe in caring for each other, we believe in using condoms. Good Catholics use condoms.”

The campaign was run by Catholics for Choice, an NGO started in 1973 and based in Washington, in the United States.
