Patrick Coffin: Humanae Vitae: Back To the Future
The message of Humanae Vitae is a message of humanity, totality, faithfulness, and fecundity. The truth of its norms are not dependent on shifting opinions or moods, but rooted in the way men and women are made by God, who is love. This bracing talk will give you memorable, practical tools with which to explain the teaching and its context whenever you are “asked about the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:16). Despite the lies and half-truths told about soon-to-be Saint Paul VI’s most famous encyclical, Humanae Vitae is not the disease; it’s the cure—for so many social and sexual disruptions. Not unike Jesus, it remains a sign of contradiction to a culture hell bent on relativist hedonism.
