Humanae Vitae Redux

When Pope Paul VI issued his prophetic encyclical, Humane Vitae, he did nothing more than affirm eternal Church teachings. This was not to the liking of many progressive prelates who believed the Church should get with the times and support contraception. Many influential priests and theologians, conspicuously Father Curran of Catholic University, defied the Church and Pope, and began a reign of schismatic destruction that resulted in a generation of cafeteria Catholics, legalized abortion, skyrocketing divorce and cohabitation, single mothers, gay "marriage" and a more societal ills. These were all foreseen by the pontiff as what would result from surrendering to modernity. We are at a similar juncture today as priests, Bishops and lost theologians are already openly defying the Pope Francis' affirmation of eternal Church teachings on same sex unions. God help us.
