In an article in America magazine July 17, 1993
Jesuit Richard McCormick (RIP) wrote that the prohibition of any serious discussion of the encyclical had led to "a debilitating malaise that has undermined the credibility of the magisterium in other areas."

"..prohibition of any serious discussion..."
ReplyDeleteThat's funny. I've had "serious discussions" about H.V. numerous times; By discussing it with others who are faithful to it's teachings, I came to understand it better and accept it more fully! I had no idea there was a prohibition! ;)
oops! I "it's" should read "its"
ReplyDelete"I came to understand it better and accept it more fully!" as maybe 2% of Catholic people!
ReplyDeleteThere’s nothing wrong with NFP achieving the same end by more complicated means, while having less sex as any married catholic knows, of course.
I have two small children, yet people will comment "You have done enough, 2 is plenty" I reply I am a late life father, but I think it is possible and it is our goal to have four children. The response then becomes, "Oh,you are one of those!"
