The #MeToo movement raises important questions about the rights and dignity of women, and about human sexuality as a whole.
But these questions are far from new: fifty years ago, Pope Paul VI predicted that artificial contraception would lead to an overall devaluation of women.
Producer Gina Christian asks Steve Bozza, director of the Philadelphia archdiocese’s Office for Life and Family, for his take on Pope Paul VI’s prophecy, which was detailed in the landmark encyclical, “Humanae Vitae (Of Human Life).”
The document will be the focus of an upcoming conference hosted by the Office for Life on Family on Saturday, Oct. 13 at the Logan Hotel in Philadelphia. For more information, including registration details, visit the conference webpage.
Help keep Catholic media free, support CatholicPhilly.com
You may have noticed “pay walls” greeting you when you visit the websites of newspapers and magazines, both large and small. These mechanisms allow you to read a few articles for free before you’ve got to pay an annual fee if you want to see more.
You won’t find a pay wall on CatholicPhilly.com because we’re more than a news organization. We’re informing, inspiring and forming readers in the Catholic faith every day through the news, features and commentaries that we post on this site and share across social media.
It costs money to provide high-quality coverage of the local Catholic communities we primarily serve, while also distributing national and world news of interest to Catholics, plus the orthodox teachings of the Catholic faith.
Help us in this mission by making a single gift of $40, $50, $100, or more. Your gift will strengthen the fabric of our entire Catholic community.
