A DUTCH sex shop will be giving away 2,000 "Pope condoms" this weekend in a dig at the Roman Catholic Church.
De Condoomfabriek (The Condom Factory) said it was making a point about sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancies and the Vatican's opposition to contraceptives.
The condom wrapper carries the image of a papal figure although the figure's face is removed. The words "I SAID NO! We say YES!" frame the papal image.
The suggestion of a "pope condom" caused a diplomatic row last month when Britain's Foreign Office was forced to apologize for a memorandum by a civil servant that suggested Benedict launch a papal-brand condom on his pending visit to Britain.
