Condomania at the church!

With a last name like “McQuade,” it’s no surprise that I’m really excited about a coming event I got a press release for today. David Lynn, the webmaster of FreePoliticalSpeech.com, is dressing as a priest and handing out condoms at the Basilica on Sunday morning.

“In addition, the grand jury’s report makes clear that even priests are not always honest about their sex lives,” Lynn was quoted in the press release. “People who might have sex with their priests need to understand this, and practice safe sex with their clergy — you never know where their hands have been.”

Eh, you know, there’s nothing like a good publicity stunt. And there’s really nothing like a good publicity stunt that will piss off a bunch of old Catholics minding their own business and going to church. (I’ve seen a lot of angry old Catholics in my life, and it’s a fun sight.) But calling for safe priest-lay people relations? Now there’s one I haven’t heard before.

Oh, and kiddies: sadly, this free condom hand out is for adults only. But Lynn doesn’t specify if you have to be Catholic! (Or if you have to be looking for a relationship with a priest.) So if you’re a human adult and looking to get your groove on, hey, here’s a chance for some free protection.

Full release after the jump.
