...Pope's lectures reaffirm a centuries-old Catholic belief, formalized in Pope Pius XI's 1930 encyclical Casti Connubii and Paul VI's 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae. The Pauline document, which created a furor, declared that "every marriage act must remain open to the transmission of life." The reason: "In the plan of God" there is an "inseparable connection" between the "unitive meaning and procreative meaning" of the marital act. John Paul, when he was Bishop Karol Wojtyla, wrote an enthusiastic preface to the Polish edition of Humanae Vitae and was among the bishops who most vigorously...
...birth control notably increased during the late 19th century, when such technological developments as vulcanized rubber made contraception cheap and easily available to the masses. With the growing acceptance of contraception in the secular world, the papal stance against birth control hardened, culminating in the 1930 encyclical Casti Connubii (On Christian Marriage). Reacting to the acceptance of birth control by the Anglicans' significant Lambeth Conference that year, Pope Pius XI declared, in accordance with the natural-law theory, that since the sexual act had a procreative intent, it was a violation of divine will to interfere with it. Paul...
...Prophecy. Pius' encyclical Casti Connubii may have been the apogee of the church's denunciation of birth control. Five years after it appeared, German Theologian Herbert Doms was tentatively proposing a personalist theology of marriage that gave primacy to love rather than childbearing. Although the Vatican at the time criticized Doms's theories, papal statements on marriage were soon to shift emphasis. Even as he denounced "the pill" as immoral in 1951, Pope Pius XII strongly affirmed the spiritual values of sex. "The conjugal act," he said, "is a personal action, which, according to the word...
...Pope gave permission to do so in his 1930 Encyclical on Marriage, Casti Connubii. Said he: "Nor are those considered as acting against nature who in their married life use their right in the proper manner, although on account of natural reasons of time or of certain defects, new life cannot be brought forth...
...President Michael Lester Madden of Hollingsworth & Whitney Co., Boston; Theodore F. McManus of Detroit.- Soon after making these appointments, His Holiness issued a mighty interpretation of the will of God, a 16,000-word encyclical addressed to his flocks, to the Knightly and the benighted. Its opening words: Casti Connubii ("Of Chaste Wedlock"). Justly did the Catholic world regard it of utmost importance. It was the first encyclical on marriage since Leo XIII delivered himself 50 years ago. It expounded the Church's entire attitude on the connubial life. Its preparation involved a score of Vatican Scholars. Its Latin...
