Brazilian model strikes out against Pope

15:55 H | Topics: Brazil - Celebrities - Controversia - Health - Religion - Sex

74889935_b98f76739c_o.jpgBrazilian model Gisele Bundchen is speaking out against the comments around condom use made by the Pope on his recent visit to her country:

"To prohibit condoms is ridiculous, just think of all the diseases transmitted without them," the 26-year-old supermodel told the newspaper.

She added: "How is it possible to not want people to use condoms and also not have abortions? It's impossible, I'm sorry."

The outspoken Gisele had previously stirred up controversy when she placed the blame for the deaths of Latin American models from eating disorders on the women's families.

Gisele's views on condom use and birth control seem to be shared by many of her countrymen, among them, the president of Brazil, Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, who recently defied the Pope's warnings.
