Ever have one of those moments where you grow up and realize that your Dad was right?
- "Contraception opens wide the way for marital infidelity and a general lowering of moral standards."
- "man who grows accustomed to the use of contraceptive methods may forget the reverence due to a woman, and, disregarding her physical and emotional equilibrium, reduce her to being a mere instrument for the satisfaction of his own desire, no longer considering her as his partner whom he should surround with care and affection."
- "power passing into the hands of those public authorities who care little for the precepts of the moral law. Who will blame a government which in its attempt to resolve the problems affecting an entire country resorts to the same measures as are regarded as lawful by married people in the solution of a particular family difficulty?...Should they regard this as necessary, they may even impose their use on everyone."
Encyclical Letter Humanae Vitae, Pope Paul VI, July 25, 1968
