title: Kenya cardinal burns condoms.
abstract: Kenya's top Roman Catholic church official burned condoms and safe sex literature in a ceremony organized by a group opposed to contraception and sex education.  About 250 people watched as Cardinal Maurice Otunga and two gynecologists prayed and sang before setting fire to several boxes of condoms and 100 copies of pamphlets promoting safe sex.  The pamphlets encouraged condom use to fight the spread of HIV.  The World Health Organization has estimated that 1 million of Kenya's 26 million people are infected with HIV or AIDS.
