Your answer was: Pope Paul VI. |
Answer: The papal encyclical, Humanae Vitae, written by Pope Paul VI in 1968, defended and reiterated the Roman Catholic Church’s stance on family planning and reproductive issues such as abortion, sterilization, and contraception. There were two Papal committees and numerous independent experts looking into the latest advancement of science and math on the question of artificial birth control, which were noted by the Pope in his encyclical. The expressed views of Paul VI reflected the teachings of his predecessors, especially Pius XI, Pius XII and John XXIII, all of whom had insisted on the divine obligations of the marital partners in light of their partnership with God the creator. The document continues to have a controversial reputation today, as its statements regarding birth control strike many Catholics as unreasonable.
