OUR PASTOR ’S PAGE

Birth Control and the Catholic Church (Part III: Aquinas, the Reformation, and the Lambeth Conference)

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, The former ecumenical councils and the scholastics (4

th-14

th Centuries) continued to reinforce

that the purpose of holy matrimony is the unity of spouses and the procreation of children. Particu-larly with St. Thomas Aquinas, the Church developed a greater dogmatic, sacramental and moral vo-cabulary by which she could articulate the goods of Christian marriage. Surprisingly, Protestantism in the 16

th Century did not challenge the Catholic Church’s position against artificial birth control. Lu-

ther, Calvin and Zwingli – while challenging the sacramentality of marriage – never challenged Chris-tian marriage’s natural end. The Council of Trent in Session 24 dealing with the Sacrament of Matri-mony did not see a need to issue a canon explicitly anathematizing those who use contraception. It was simply not a point of dispute with the Protestants. Both Catholic and Protestant countries had civil laws against the use of contraception until the 20

th Century. Even in our own country, many

states had laws in the books outlawing the sale of contraceptives until just a few decades ago. Most of the lawmakers were Protestants. It was not until 1930 during the Seventh Lambeth Conference that the Anglican Church ap-proved contraception in limited cases. This radical move prompted all Christians to begin to re-examine the ethics of family planning. The Catholic Church quickly saw the slippery slope that had been paved by the Anglican Church for other Protestant denominations. By the end of that year, Pope Pius XI issued the encyclical Casti Connubii — on the dignity of chaste wedlock — in which he expressed in detail the perennial teaching of the Church on the sanctity of marriage which precludes deliberate interference with the life process. While affirming the legitimate need at times to space births, Pius XI condemned contraception and sterilization as means to this end. He declared them as “against nature and thus intrinsically evil.” Popes Pius XII and Blessed John XXIII issued statements in subsequent decades in continuity with Casti Connubii. However, from the Protestant side, there was very little resistance to the change of thought initiated by the Anglicans. Many ecclesial communities — Reformed, Traditional and Evangelical — began to follow suit with the Anglicans. The “limited cases” qualification got wider and eventually members of these Protestant communities were able to justify contraception for any reason. Vatican II, while not issuing a document directly addressing artificial birth control, did affirm the dignity of the sacrament of matrimony in Gaudium et Spes; and in footnote 14 of that same document, part II, chapter 1, Paul VI personally intervened to quote Casti Connubii’s condemnation of contraception. In the interim between the end of the Second Vatican Council and the promulgation of Humanæ Vitæ, there were many who thought the Catholic Church would soon change this teaching. Moral theologians debated about the absolute ban on all contraception — whether there are cases in which contraception could be licit or even necessary. Pope Paul VI created a commission of theologians and specialists who came up with a Majority Report and a Minority Report in preparation of his encyclical. These findings were published by the National Catholic Reporter and The Tablet in 1966, but it is unclear if they were ever meant to be public. Many thought Paul VI was going to allow contraception in limited cases (similar to what the Anglicans had done in the 1930s). Next week, we will focus on what Humanæ Vitæ actually said, how it was received, and what it means for the Pro-Life movement today.

Yours in Christ, Fr. Lowry

PÁGINA DE NUESTRO PASTOR

El Control de la Natalidad y de la Iglesia Católica (Parte III: Santo Tomás de Aquino, la Reforma, y la Conferencia de Lambeth) Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, Los antiguos Concilios cuménicos y los escolásticos (siglos4ª-14ª ) continuo a reforzar la idea de que la finalidad del santo matrimonio es la unidad de los esposos y la procreación de los hijos. Especial-mente con Santo Tomás de Aquino, la Iglesia desarrolló una mayor dogmática, sacramental y vocabu-lario moral a través de la que se podría articular los bienes del matrimonio Cristiano. Sorprendente-mente, el protestantismo en el siglo XVI no desafio su posición de la Iglesia Católica contra el control artificial de la natalidad. Lutero, Calvino y Zwinglio - desafiando la sacramentalidad del matrimonio - nun-ca impugnó el matrimonio Cristiano y su fin natural. El Concilio de Trento en la Sesión 24 trata con el sacramento del matrimonio, no veían la necesidad de expedir un canon explícitamente anatematizado para quienes usan los anticoncepción. Simplemente, no era un punto de controversia con los protestantes. Ambos países Católicos como los Protestante tenían leyes civiles contra el uso de anticon-ceptivos hasta el siglo XX. Incluso en nuestro propio país, muchos estados tenían leyes en los libros que prohíbian la venta de anticonceptivos hasta hace unas décadas. La mayoría de estos legisladores eran Protestantes. No fue hasta 1930, durante la Séptima Conferencia de Lambeth que la Iglesia Anglicana aprobó la an-ticoncepción en casos limitados. Este radical movimiento incitó a todos los Cristianos a comenzar a re-examinar la ética de la planificación de la familia. La Iglesia Católica rápidamente se dio cuenta de la inclinacion resbaladiza que había sido allanado por la Iglesia Anglicana por otras denominaciones protestantes. A finales de ese año, el Papa Pío XI publicó la Encíclica Casti Connubii - sobre la digni-dad del casto matrimonio -en la que expreso en detalle la enseñanza perenne de la Iglesia sobre la san-tidad del matrimonio que excluye deliberadamente la injerencia en el proceso de toda la vida. Mientras afirmamos la necesidad legítima a veces para espaciar los nacimientos, Pío XI condenó la anticoncep-ción y la esterilización como medio para este fin. Él lo declaró "contra la naturaleza y por tanto intrín-secamente malo." los Papas Pío XII y el Beato Juan XXIII emitió declaraciones en las décadas posteri-ores en continuidad con la Casti Connubii. Sin embargo, por lado de los Protestantes, hubo muy poca resistencia al cambio de pensamiento iniciado por los Anglicanos. Muchas comunidades eclesiales - Reformada, Tradicionales y Evangélicos- comenzaron a seguir los pasos de los Anglicanos. Los "casos limitados" obtuvo mayor calificación y, finalmente los miembros de estas comunidades protestantes fueron capaces de justificar la anticoncepción por cualquier motivo. El concilio Vaticano II, aunque no publicó un documento abordando directamente el control artificial de la natalidad, no afirmo la dignidad del sacramento del matrimonio en la Gaudium et Spes; y en la nota de pie de página 14 de ese mismo documento, parte II, capítulo 1, Pablo VI intervino personalmente para citar Casti Connubii condenando la anticoncepción. Provicionalmente entre el final del Concilio Vaticano II y la promulgación de la Encíclica Humanae Vi-tae, eran muchos los que pensaban que la Iglesia Católica cambiaria pronto esta enseñanza. Los teólogos moralistas debatieron sobre la prohibición absoluta de toda anticoncepción - si hay o no hay casos en que la anticoncepción puede ser lícita o incluso necesaria. El Papa Pablo VI creó una comisión de teólogos y especialistas que vinieron con un Reporte Mayorítario y un Reporte Minorítario en prepar-ación de su encíclica. Estos hallazgos fueron publicados por la National Catholic Reporter y la Tableta en 1966, pero no está claro si alguna vez fueron destinados al público. Muchos pensaron que Pablo VI iba a permitir la anticoncepción en casos limitados (similar a lo que los anglicanos habían hecho en el 1930). La próxima semana, nos enfocaremos en lo que la Encíclica Humanae Vitae realmente dise , cómo fue recibido, y lo que significa para el movimiento por la vida de hoy. Suyos en Cristo, Fr. Lowry
