"Christian life is not expressed solely in personal virtues, but also in social and political virtues."

And it is the idea that each individual can determine their own values (moral relativism) that has lead to the problems we have in society today.

HUMANAE VITAE

Neither is it valid to argue, as a justification for sexual intercourse which is deliberately contraceptive, that a lesser evil is to be preferred to a greater one, or that such intercourse would merge with procreative acts of past and future to form a single entity, and so be qualified by exactly the same moral goodness as these. Though it is true that sometimes it is lawful to tolerate a lesser moral evil in order to avoid a greater evil or in order to promote a greater good," it is never lawful, even for the gravest reasons, to do evil that good may come of it (18)—in other words, to intend directly something which of its very nature contradicts the moral order, and which must therefore be judged unworthy of man, even though the intention is to protect or promote the welfare of an individual, of a family or of society in general. Consequently, 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.

**Pope: Legislation “Supporting Contraception and Abortion is Threatening the Future of Peoples”**

Totally agree. And threatening our security too. Will we have enough troops in another generation?

The time is now for a battle of ideas and this is just the man for the job.

"...demolishing every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God..."

The pope is precisely right. But we have to end abortion before we can attempt to convince people birthcontrol is wrong.
