Actually, yes, that is what I meant. Have there been problems with the young people at WYD engaging in sexual activities during the gathering? I wouldn't think there would be. BTW, I think these people handing out condoms are disgusting and if I weren't trying to be a good Catholic, I'd tell them where to put them!

Vince, I think the original writer meant has there been a problem in the past with large numbers of kids engaging in sex at these gatherings.

Oh, well that's entirely different. Nevermind.

Ok, then I'll answer the real question. No, the kids having sex is not a problem at World Youth Days. Almost all of your time is taken up by events. You sleep out in open fields with basically no privacy. Most of these people are in groups sent by their churches in an organized way, with chaperones. There simply isn't the opportunity. Handing out condoms is just a tastless publicity stunt, like offering free abortions if your husband was killed in the World Trade Center attack
