HUMANAE VITAE – A LIGHT IN THE WORLD 50 YEARS AND BEYOND

July 25, 2018 NFP Singapore

BY MELISSA DRAGON FOR NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING SERVICE SINGAPORE

IN COMMEMORATION OF THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF HUMANAE VITAE

25 JULY 2018



IT WAS 25 JULY 1968, A DAY IN HISTORY WHERE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OFFERED A RAY OF
LIGHT TO A WORLD WROUGHT BY DISARRAY. ON THIS DAY, THE MESSAGE OF BLESSED PAUL
VI’S LAST ENCYCLICAL OFFERED US A GIFT OF LIBERATING TRUTH WHICH IS AS CRUCIAL
TODAY AS IT WAS 50 YEARS AGO.



Humanae Vitae – A Light for the World



LOOKING AT THE CULTURAL CHANGES IN THE PAST DECADES SINCE THE POPULARIZATION OF
CONTRACEPTIVE METHODS SUCH THE PILL, IT HAS LED TO THE INCREASE OF EXTRAMARITAL
AFFAIRS, ALARMING DIVORCE RATES, THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK,
DECLINING BIRTHRATES, DISTURBING ABORTION STATISTICS AND THE SPREAD OF SEXUALLY
TRANSMITTED DISEASES. IN ADDITION, THE WIDESPREAD USE OF THE CONTRACEPTIVE
METHODS SUCH AS THE BIRTH CONTROL PILL HAS LED TO INFERTILITY AND INCREASED RISK
OF CANCER, AMONG OTHER THINGS. MOREOVER, MARRIAGE AND SEX ARE INCREASINGLY
PERCEIVED AS A MEANS OF PERSONAL FULFILMENT AND PLEASURE RATHER THAN A SOURCE OF
LIFE AND FAMILY.

IN RESPONSE TO THIS BACKDROP, THE ENCYCLICAL HUMANAE VITAE AFFIRMS THAT MARRIED
COUPLES “ARE NOT FREE TO ACT AS THEY CHOOSE IN THE SERVICE OF TRANSMITTING LIFE,
AS IF IT WERE WHOLLY UP TO THEM TO DECIDE WHAT IS THE RIGHT COURSE TO FOLLOW. ON
THE CONTRARY, THEY ARE BOUND TO ENSURE THAT WHAT THEY DO CORRESPONDS TO THE WILL
OF GOD THE CREATOR.” (HV 10)

THE DOCUMENT FURTHER REAFFIRMS THE CHURCH’S TEACHING AGAINST THE USE OF
CONTRACEPTIVE BIRTH CONTROL METHODS AND STERILIZATION. THE DOCUMENT STATED THAT
EVERY MARITAL ACT MUST BE BOTH PROCREATIVE AND UNITIVE (HV 12) AND THAT IT IS A
“SERIOUS ERROR TO THINK THAT A WHOLE MARRIED LIFE OF OTHERWISE NORMAL RELATIONS
CAN JUSTIFY SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WHICH IS DELIBERATELY CONTRACEPTIVE AND SO
INTRINSICALLY WRONG” (HV 14) IN ADDITION, THIS HAS TO BE BALANCED WITH THE
COUPLE EMBRACING RESPONSIBLE PARENTHOOD (HV 10)



Building strong marriages founded on the principles of Humane Vitae



“HUMANAE VITAE” PROMOTES CHASTITY AND FIDELITY WITHIN MARRIAGE, AND TELLS US
THAT ALL MEANS OF CONTRACEPTION AND ABORTION, EVEN FOR MEDICAL REASONS, ARE
WRONG. IF A COUPLE WISHES TO POSTPONE PREGNANCY DUE TO A GRAVE REASON, THEY ARE
ENCOURAGED TO USE METHODS OF NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING (NFP) AND FERTILITY
AWARENESS SUCH AS THE BILLING’S OVULATION METHOD AS “GOD HAS WISELY ORDERED LAWS
OF NATURE AND THE INCIDENCE OF FERTILITY IN SUCH A WAY THAT SUCCESSIVE BIRTHS
ARE ALREADY NATURALLY SPACED THROUGH THE INHERENT OPERATION OF THESE LAWS” (HV
12).

IN NFP, THE WOMAN’S FERTILITY IS CHARTED SO THAT A COUPLE CAN BE AWARE OF
PERIODS OF FERTILITY AND INFERTILITY. DURING THE FERTILE PERIODS, A COUPLE THAT
DOES NOT DESIRE TO CONCEIVE WOULD OBSERVE SEXUAL ABSTINENCE AND ARE ENCOURAGED
TO NURTURE THEIR BOND IN NON-SEXUAL WAYS. IN THIS WAY, THE COUPLE IS ABLE TO
JOURNEY AS ONE AND GROW TOGETHER IN FIDELITY AND UNITY.

WHY IS IT WRONG TO USE ARTIFICIAL CONTRACEPTION WHILE NFP IS NOT DEEMED WRONG?
ISN’T PREGNANCY BEING AVOIDED IN BOTH CASES? IN THE FORMER, THE COUPLE SEEKS TO
“OBSTRUCT THE NATURAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE GENERATIVE PROCESS” AND MAKES THE
MARITAL ACT CONDITIONAL, WHEREAS IN THE LATTER, “THE MARRIED COUPLE RIGHTLY USE
A FACULTY PROVIDED THEM BY NATURE.



A sign of authentic love and fidelity



IN THIS WAY, THEY USE THEIR MARRIED INTIMACY TO EXPRESS THEIR MUTUAL LOVE AND
SAFEGUARD THEIR FIDELITY TOWARD ONE ANOTHER. IN DOING THIS, THEY CERTAINLY GIVE
PROOF OF A TRUE AND AUTHENTIC LOVE.” (HV 21)


“It is to be anticipated that perhaps not everyone will easily accept this
particular teaching. There is too much clamorous outcry against the voice of the
Church, and this is intensified by modern means of communication. But it comes
as no surprise to the Church that she, no less than her divine Founder, is
destined to be a “sign of contradiction.” (HV 22) She does not, because of this,
evade the duty imposed on her of proclaiming humbly but firmly the entire moral
law, both natural and evangelical.” – Humanae Vitae

SADLY, THERE HAS BEEN AN ALARMING INCREASE IN THE ACCEPTANCE OF METHODS OF
CONTRACEPTION IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY, THE MOST PREVALENT OF WHICH BEING THE USE OF
THE CONDOM.



Embracing Life in the principles of Humane Vitae



AS GOD’S CHOSEN AND CALLED, IT IS OUR SOCIAL MISSION TO EMBRACE THIS MESSAGE WE
HAVE BEEN ENTRUSTED. LET US LEARN IT AND USE IT TO SERVE AS BEACONS OF LIGHT TO
ERADICATE IGNORANCE AND TO RESTORE THE FULLNESS OF LIFE AND GOODNESS IN OUR
SOCIETY, HERE AND NOW.

TO READ THE FULL TEXT OF HUMANAE VITAE, REFER TO THIS LINK

MANY CATHOLICS DO NOT HAVE A CLEAR IDEA OR SEE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
CONTRACEPTIVE METHODS AND NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING (NFP) METHODS SUCH AS THE
BILLING’S OVULATION METHOD, FOLLOW THIS LINK TO OUR PAMPHLET ON THIS TOPIC.


YOU CAN BE PART OF THE HUMANAE VITAE MISSION TEAM BY SPREADING THE KNOWLEDGE OF
ITS GOOD NEWS OF LOVE AND LIFE.

NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING FEATURED IN THE 15 APR 2012 ISSUE OF CATHOLICS NEWS

May 18, 2012 NFP Singapore

Natural Family Planning was featured in the Family Life Line section of the 15
Apr 2012 issue of Catholics News.

Often, when people think of NFP, they think of it as method of postpone
pregnancy. In fact, it is also a very effective means to help couples achieve
pregnancy.

Bernadette and Matthew, our couple in charge of outreach, spoke with Cara and
Kai from Holy Cross Church to bring you this story of their NFP learning
experience. They were instructed by Mrs Teresa Phua who is the centre head of
the NFP Centre of Holy Cross Church.
