Canadian Archbishop: For the Clergy, Obedience to Church “Requires Preaching About the Moral Evil of Contraception”
John Henry Westen reports on LifeSiteNews.com:
The Archbishop of the Canadian capital city of Ottawa addressed the convocation of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy in Barrys Bay Ontario last week, leaving attendees awestruck. The speech focused on Pope Paul VI’s encyclical Humanae Vitae. Faithful Catholics leaving the event told LifeSiteNews.com “I’ve been waiting 35 years to hear that from a Canadian bishop.” . . .
“In the midst of the chaos caused by the sexual revolution and the arrival of the birth control pill, many Catholics felt unsure of the Church’s position on artificial contraception,” said Archbishop Prendergast. “The Church responded to this urgent need for clear teaching and sound pastoral guidance when Pope Paul VI released his encyclical, Humanae Vitae (Of Human Life) in 1968.” . . .
