This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Humanae Vitae, the controversial encyclical by Pope Paul VI which defended the classic sexual framework and prophesied the devastating consequences that would result upon its rejection. As Bishop Barron reveals, those prophecies have since been strongly vindicated. A listener asks whether God hates anything since he is defined by love.

0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Word on Fire show. I'm Brandon Vot, the host and the content director |
0:10.4 | here at Word on Fire, joining us from Santa Barbara, California. Is Bishop Robert |
0:15.6 | Baron? Bishop Baron, good to talk with you. Hey Brandon, always a great joy to be with |
0:18.6 | you. His question I always love to ask you, because you always have a good answer. What |
0:24.1 | good books are you reading lately? Oh, what am I reading right now? I'm reading a book |
0:28.9 | that you sent me by Jordan Peterson. A book he wrote some years ago, but trying to get |
0:33.0 | a sense of his, what's in his mind? Also reading another gift I received, which is a biography |
0:37.7 | of Richard Nixon. And what's the author's name? It's feral, I think. It's good. And I love |

1:25.1 | but was also a pretty fantastic engineer and designer of mechanical things. And that's |
1:30.7 | what he's, that's what he's exploring. Well, today we're going to be talking about a document |
1:37.4 | that was written almost 50 years ago. It's titled Humana Vite and don't let the Latin |
1:43.5 | title confuse you. The documents in English, it's Pope Paul VI famous and somewhat controversial |
1:49.9 | and cyclical. Again, it was written in July 1968. And it is led to a lot of battles and |
