Humanae Vitae- The Timeless Teaching from the Church on Marital Love

Posted on July 31, 2018 in: News

July 25, 2018 marked the Fiftieth Anniversary of Blessed Paul VI's landmark encyclical Humanae Vitae. Written in a turbulent era, the encyclical was prophetic in what it stated about human sexuality and the transmission of life. The document is counter-cultural and it is a treasure. It is a teaching full of hope.
There are many good resources available for young couples to become aquainted with the teachings of HumanaeVitae and Saint John Paul II's Theology of the Body. Many young people are embracing Church teaching on contraception in its fullness and are living witness to the joy of the Gospel. Each of us is invited to embrace the beautiful church teachings on human sexuality contained in Humanae Vitae.

Reverend Walter M. Nagle
Diocesan Director of Pro-Life Activities
