On 12 May 2008, Benedict XVI accepted an invitation to talk to participants in the International Congress organized by the Pontifical Lateran University on the 40th anniversary of Humanae Vitae.
He put the encyclical in the broader view of love in a global context, a topic he called " so controversial, yet so crucial for humanity's future.
" Humanae Vitae became " a sign of contradiction but also of continuity of the Church's doctrine and tradition ... What was true yesterday is true also today.
" The Church continues to reflect " in an ever new and deeper way on the fundamental principles that concern marriage and procreation.
" The key message of Humanae Vitae is love.
Benedict states, that the fullness of a person is achieved by a unity of soul and body, but neither spirit nor body alone can love, only the two together.
If this unity is broken, if only the body is satisfied, love becomes a commodity.
