It is 40 yrs since Humanae Vitae, the Encyclical Letter from Pope Paul VIth confirming Christian teaching on this issue and predicting that the Pill would bring familial and social degradation. It has been passed over as somewhat irrelevant by most outside, & perhaps even inside the Church. Was Pope Paul VI’s prophecy right? Are our society and our Church and our families better now than before the 60’s? Are we closer to God?
