The public’s right to “annoy” pilgrims gathered for the Catholic youth festival, World Youth Day, in Sydney has been restored after the controversial state law prohibiting such actions was reversed. People are grabbing packets of condoms by the bag-full and heading to Sydney to annoy the papal-enthusiasts with their prophylactics.

 

Protests that had been mooted prior to the pilgrim’s descending on the harbour city, will go ahead this Saturday. Activists intend on demonstrating against the Catholic Church’s stance on homosexuality and birth control, by handing out condoms and wearing proactive T-shirts.
