From the story: Others, however, had trouble relating to Benedict's conservative message on morality. Casual sex, out-of-wedlock births and illegal abortions are commonplace in Brazil. A little later in the story: "Well, I have a lot of respect for the pope, but if he wants us to not have sex before getting married, then that will never work," Albuquerque said. "In fact, I'm living in sin. Everyone knows that men will never wait for that." Her friend Valdinette Olveira had a different thought. "Maybe if the young men would listen to the pope, they will learn to respect women more," said the 25-year-old. "Because right now, men don't really respect women."
