Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast.

I'm your host, Catholic Answers Apologist and Speaker, Trent Horn.

And today I want to talk to you about a common myth related to humana Vite.

This is the 1968 in Sookok, written by Pope Paul VI, that upheld the Church's teaching

on contraception.

But before I do that, I really want to thank everyone who is supporting this channel.

Alright, so people who reject the Church's teaching on contraception, they often bring up

something called the Pontifical Commission on Birth Control, or the Pontifical Birth Control

Commission.

They say Pope Paul VI simply ignored the solid research of this commission, a commission

he asked to determine if contraception is immoral.

The Catholic feminist, Sylia Wexler, says, the commission, which included Catholic Mary

Couples and Physicians, reportedly voted overwhelmingly to lift the Vatican's blanket

ban on artificial birth control and to permit Mary Couples to prudently plan their families.

So that hope was dashed in 1968 when Paul VI, writing in his encyclical humanavite, once

more declared artificial contraception intrinsically wrong.

These dissenters say that Catholics were harmed because the Pope acted out of a fear of

rejecting tradition, and when he should have listened to the so-called best theological

minds of the birth control commission.
