In the wake of Pope Benedict XVI´s stern moral lectures in Brazil, political blogger Guilherme Fiuza has some advise for Brazilian teenagers. ”Enjoy yourselves while there´s time.´´

The columnist for the web magazine no minimo poses some provocative, and ironic, questions: ”Is sex before marriage the beginning of the end of the family? What about the media, with its insistence on disrespecting chastity? Has modern society come to the bottom of the well?
