Pope Paul VI issued Humanae Vitae on 25 July 1968

Humanae Vitae ( Latin Of Human Life ) is an encyclical written by Pope Paul VI and issued on 25 July 1968.

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.

For this reason, Paul VI teaches in the first sentence of Humanae Vitae, that the transmission of human life is a most serious role in which married people collaborate freely and responsibly with God the Creator.

" In March 1969, he had a meeting with one of the main critics of Humanae Vitae, Cardinal Leo Joseph Suenens.

On 23 June 1978, weeks before his death, in an address to the College of Cardinals, Paul VI reaffirmed his Humanae Vitae: " following the confirmations of serious science ", and which sought to affirm the principle of respect for the laws of nature and of " a conscious and ethically responsible paternity ".

At the official level, Catholicism ’ s commitment to “ Humanae Vitae ” is more stable than ever.

According to John L. Allen, Jr., " In addition, three decades of bishops ’ appointments by John Paul II and Benedict XVI, both unambiguously committed to “ Humanae Vitae ,” mean that senior leaders in Catholicism these days are far less inclined than they were in 1968 to distance themselves from the ban on birth control, or to soft-pedal it.

A striking number of Catholic bishops have recently brought out documents of their own defending “ Humanae Vitae .” However, a New York Times article notes some parish priests disagree with the teaching, and others agree with it, but avoid discussing the topic aware of contraception use among Catholics.

Albino Luciani's views on Humanae Vitae have been debated.

" According to Allen "... it is reasonable to assume that John Paul I would not have insisted upon the negative judgment in Humanae Vitae as aggressively and publicly as John Paul II did, and probably would not have treated it as a quasi-infallible teaching.

He reaffirmed much of Humanae Vitae, and specifically described the practice of artificial contraception as an act not permitted by Catholic teaching in any circumstances.

The authority which the magisterium enjoys by the will of Christ exists so that the moral conscience can attain the truth with security and remain in it .” John Paul quoted Humanae Vitae as a compassionate encyclical, " Christ has come not to judge the world but to save it, and while he was uncompromisingly stern towards sin, he was patient and rich in mercy towards sinners ".

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.

" The key message of Humanae Vitae is love.
