Blogger feasts on Pope's sex advice to Brazil's teens

In the wake of Pope Benedict XVI´s stern moral lectures in Brazil, political blogger Guilherme Fiuza has some advise for Brazilian teenagers. ”Enjoy yourselves while there´s time.´´

The columnist for the web magazine no minimo poses some provocative, and ironic, questions: ”Is sex before marriage the beginning of the end of the family? What about the media, with its insistence on disrespecting chastity? Has modern society come to the bottom of the well?

"The controversy raised by Pope Benedict XVI seems on the verge of denying the passage of time itself. Alas, why not discuss the two-piece swimsuit and birth control pills. Now is the time."
