	Humanae Vitae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Humanae Vitae (Latin "of human life", but typically translated as On the Regulation of Human Birth) is an encyclical written by Pope Paul VI and promulgated on July 25, 1968.
		However, the Communist authorities in Poland would not permit him to travel to Rome to take part in the key meeting of June 1966 in which the majority decision of the commission was made.

	Latin Mass Magazine, in support of traditional Roman Catholicism
		Humanae Vitae has thus contributed both directly and indirectly to a crisis in which we have gone from losing the battle on birth control to losing the very concept of obedience itself.
		For example, when Humanae Vitae famously predicts the harmful results of widespread adoption of contraception, it refers to "the consequences of methods of artificial birth control." It thus defines the problem as being one of methods that are artificial, not a lack of fruitfulness, a failure of generosity, etc.
		Humanae Vitae itself is quoted only in reference to its prediction of consequences; not another line from the encyclical appears anywhere in his pastoral letter.

	Have Humanae Vitae's predictions come true?
		Humanae Vitae 25 years ago "prophesied" that marriages and society would suffer if the use of contraception became widespread.
		While this passage of Humanae Vitae is rarely studied, Pope John Paul II is one commentator who recognizes the depth of its wisdom.
		It plays the central role in his reflections on Humanae Vitae; he focuses on the importance of "self-mastery" for the proper use of sexuality, and explains the meaning of the human body and the human person as these bear upon sexuality.

	Commentary: Humanae Vitae: still controversial at 30
		Not only were the most intimate aspects of millions of personal lives profoundly influenced by Humanae Vitae, the institutional church was radically shaken by the controversy that followed its publication.
		But Paul VI could not change the teaching, he said, because of “the moral teaching on marriage proposed with constant firmness by the teaching authority of the church.” No matter what the experience of married people and the arguments of theologians and others, the pope could not admit that a past papal teaching was wrong.
		Humanae Vitae and its aftermath thus precipitated the most troublesome source of tension in the Catholic church today -- the role and function of papal teaching.

		Humanae Vitae, by affirming the inseparability of sexuality from procreation, defends the dignity of man. It is an affirmation of the truth of love as the destiny of mankind, and an affirmation of the goodness and beauty of being.
		Donum Vitae, for its part, develops systematically what was already fundamentally the teaching of Humanae Vitae; it carries further the Church’s commitment to the defense of human dignity Ethe dignity of the spouses and their conjugal love, and the dignity of the new life called into existence.
		See, for example, Humanae Vitae, no. 13: "On the other hand, to make use of the gift of conjugal love while respecting the laws of the generative process means to acknowledge oneself not to be the arbiter of the sources of human life, but rather the minister of the design established by the Creator.

		While Pope Paul saw Humanae Vitae as an authoritative, but probably not definitive, restatement of the Church's prohibition of contraception, John Paul II offers here an authoritative and consciously evangelical defense of the whole of the Church's life ethic, including, to some degree, the teaching regarding contraception.
		Many in the Church, responding to the cultural ethos of change and protest which were the 1960s and the sense of religious change sweeping the Church in the wake of Vatican II, had already been carried far beyond the bounds of the traditional understanding in their family planning decisions.
		Janet Smith noted in her 1991 book Humanae Vitae: A Generation Later that few revisionist moralists had offered a critical response to this argument, in spite of their obvious disagreements with the pope's conclusions on these matters.11 Little appears to have changed in the intervening years.

	What Isn't Said in Humanae Vitae
		Most of the current literature critical of Humanae Vitae seems to dismiss it as hopelessly naive or wildly off base, leveling critiques that are so obvious that it is hard to believe that Paul VI did not already take them into account when he wrote the document.
		There are arguments from scripture, from tradition, from a theology of marriage, and from an understanding of sexual intercourse as a physical language as well as hints of a basic philosophical and theological analysis of the "marital act." Many of these individual arguments have been taken up by later authors.
		In the opinion of Humanae Vitae, acts involving human genital organs are objectively different from any other physical acts in that they are by nature linked to the direct creative action of God in the world.

		The normative truth of "Humanae vitae" is strictly tied to those values which are expressed in the objective moral order according to their proper hierarchy.
		The author Of "Humanae vitae" is aware of the authentic value of human love which has God as its source, and which is confirmed by a correct conscience and a healthy "moral sense".
		The encyclical "Humanae vitae" formulates this hierarchy of values which proves to be essential and decisive for the entire problem of responsible parenthood.

	Cardinal Desmond Connell, Archbishop of Dublin - Reflections on Humanae Vitae
		Humanae Vitae succinctly expresses the radical opposition between this vision and the vision of right reason confirmed and enlarged by divine revelation.
		The true source of the difficulty presented by the teaching of Humanae Vitae is not to be found at the level of the reasons offered for the teaching itself but at the deeper human level of the authenticity of love.
		That is why Humanae Vitae stands out as a distinctively Christian document and will continue to be a sign of contradiction, testing the faith even of many who want to believe.

		{ 5 } - Humanae Vitae did not remain true to the "spirit" of Vatican II in that the latter holds that sexual conduct should be morally evaluated on the basis of "man's person and his acts" while the former evaluates on the traditional basis of "marriage and its acts."
		On the contrary, Humanae Vitae stresses that the human meaning, not merely the physical facticity of the sexual act, is primary.
		In Humanae Vitae Paul VI attempted to treat the question of the person and his acts as the basis of moral evaluation of sexual conduct, and it is not evident that HV and Vatican II have different views of the nature of the person and his acts.

		One way to understand the history of Humanae Vitae is to examine the past three decades through this metaphor of addiction.
		In the process, one of the stranger ironies of the contraception debate of the past generation has been this: Many feminists have attacked the Catholic Church for her alleged disregard of women, but the Church in Humanae Vitae identified and rejected sexual exploitation of women years before that message entered the cultural mainstream.
		Selective dissent from Humanae Vitae soon fueled broad dissent from Church authority and attacks on the credibility of the Church herself.

	On "Humanae Vitae"
		Humanae Vitae talks of this married love as being fully human, total, faithful, and fecund or bringing forth life.
		Thus, in Humanae Vitae, abortion and contraceptive birth control, including direct sterilization, as a means or an end are condemned by the Church.
		Regardless, all the faithful are to submit their mind and will to the Church, and in doing so, it would be very difficult to go against this teaching in one’s own well-formed conscience.

	Pope Paul VI was prophetic
		Humanae Vitae] of Pope Paul on birth control is true and must be followed by mankind.
		Humanae Vitae, 1968), Pope Paul predicted that contraceptive use would encourage man to lose respect for woman, considering her "as a mere instrument of selfish enjoyment, and no longer as his respected and beloved companion." Through abortion and contraception, women have been degraded to an object of sexual use.
		Evangelium Vitae that the "contraceptive mentality" has become a breeding ground for abortion: "Such practices are rooted in a hedonistic mentality unwilling to accept responsibility in matters of sexuality, and they imply a self-centered concept of freedom, which regards procreation as an obstacle to personal fulfillment," the Pope writes.

		And his manner of doing so in "Humanae Vitae" enables all Catholics who understand the 1870 definition correctly to see on the face of this document the radiance of the Pope's intimate converse with God as he made this decision: the radiance of infallibility.
		Using the first two words of the encyclical, "Humanae Vitae," the St. Paul Books and Media (Boston) version of the encyclical is entitled "Of Human Life." While papal and conciliar documents are commonly referred to by the first two or three words in Latin, these do not constitute the official title.
		"Humanae Vitae," no. 18, states that the Church can never "declare to be licit that which is not so by reason of its unchangeable opposition to the true good of man" ("numquam fas erit licitum declarare quod revera illicitum est, cum id suapte natura germano hominis bono semper repugnet").
