Article-Summary: 

The South African Catholic Bishops' Conference has criticized a Catholics For a Free Choice advertising campaign that takes issue with the church's stand on condoms, saying that condoms are "as likely to promote promiscuity as anything else," the South African Press Association reports. The ads -- which read, "Banning Condoms Kills" and "Catholic People Care, Do Our Bishops?" -- are running in a Cape Town newspaper and will be featured on highway billboards near Cape Town and Johannesburg.
