The "Culture of Death" Reaches Another Low
Given that the "culture of death" has no respect for the unborn & even less for God, this comes as no surprize. This is from the same page of the anti-life playbook as the recent ad in Great Britain using Santa to promote the use of birth control.
The story of Santa comes from the fact that St. Nicholas, as Bishop of Myra, secretly gave a man the money to provide a dowry for his 3 daughters so they wouldn't have to turn to prostitution. Who else but the culture of death could take a symbol that celebrates purity & chastity & turn it into a sick pervision like this that celebrates immorality.

TORONTO, December 18, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Christmas shoppers were shocked this week to find men and women dressed up as Santa Claus on some of the busiest streets in Toronto, handing out condoms.
The publicity stunt was arranged by Durex, the condom manufacturer.
A press release from the company explained that costumed representatives, dressed as Santa Claus, would be handing out the condoms beginning on Tuesday, December 16.
“This holiday season, Durex(R) wants lovers to really feel the Love,” says the release. “Helping Canadians get in the mood to wrap their packages, Durex and Santa will start celebrating the holidays by handing out Love condoms this Tuesday, December 16, 2008 in downtown Toronto. Giving never felt so good!”
“It’s deeply saddening to me that at one of the most sacred times of the year, Durex would do such a thing,” said Suresh Dominic of Campaign Life Catholic in response to the publicity stunt.
“Santa Claus is simply another name for St. Nicholas, a Catholic bishop and saint from the early Church known for generosity to the poor. He is also a symbol of the beauty and mystery of Christmas, particularly for children. To use the figure of Santa to promote an ideology of casual sex on busy public streets is offensive in the extreme.”
Dominic encouraged readers to contact Durex as well as the Toronto mayor and Toronto city councillors to complain.
The condom manufacturer is not the only organization that is hijacking Christmas to spread a message of casual sex. Planned Parenthood also recently made the news by offering gift certificates that can be redeemed for everything from contraceptives and sexually transmitted disease testing to abortions.

Good point here. I hadn't thought of that
"The story of Santa comes from the fact that St. Nicholas, as Bishop of Myra, secretly gave a man the money to provide a dowry for his 3 daughters so they wouldn't have to turn to prostitution.
