Nobody is Laughing

In 1968, Pope Paul VI in his encyclical Humane Vitae clearly proclaimed the teaching of the Church that the two purposes for marital union are to procreate and establish a loving and caring relationship between husband and wife. He also warned that if these two purposes were ever separated by a contraceptive act disorder would occur in the sacred union of matrimony and society as a whole. Pope Paul’s warnings about the evils of contraception went ignored. The secular media along with dissidents within the Church ridiculed and laughed at him and said things such as, "You poor foolish old man, you just don’t get it. Artificial birth control is the magic pill that will change our society for the better. Couples won’t have to worry about unwanted pregnancies. Contraception will diminish marital stress and make for happier and stronger families."

The Pope guided by the Holy Spirit and two thousand years of Church teaching stood firm in his conviction and made the predictions that if contraception became embraced by the masses the following would happen. There would be more infidelity in marriages. Women would be treated more and more like mere objects of pleasure by men. Morals would be lowered in society as a whole, and world powers would force birth control upon the poor nations of the world. Paul VI’s predictions all came true, and the result has been a world plagued with divorce, fornication, adultery, dysfunctional families, abortion, pornography, and sexual deviancy. Nobody is laughing anymore except Satan and his minions.
