Contraception Is An Intrinsic Evil!By:  Father James FarfagliaThe Inseparable ConnectionCORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) In his landmark 1968 encyclical where the Church reaffirms its’ teaching that contraception is intrinsically evil, Pope Paul VI argues that every marital act must keep together “the inseparable connection , established by God, which man on his own initiative may not break, between the unitive significance and the procreative significance which are both inherent to the marriage act” (Humanae Vitae, 12).The basis of the Pope’s argument is the Church’s understanding of natural law, human nature and God’s plan for marriage, sexuality and family life.  Paul VI writes, “.they must also recognize that an act of mutual love which impairs the capacity to transmit life which God the Creator, through specific laws, has built into it, frustrates His design which constitutes the norm of marriage, and contradicts the will of the Author of life.
