Why is Bergoglio planning to canonize Paul VI, if he's about to overturn Paul's most important encyclical?

I'm guessing that "natural methods" involve anything that prevents the sperm from fertilizing the egg w/o killing the fertilized egg if fertilization does occur.

Can't see the Church deciding that killing a fertilized egg is an option.....but thing have been a changing and not for the best. It ain't like eating meat on Friday.

Bergoglio will reverse the ban on contraception, yet deny he is doing such.

You are expecting consistency, rationality, and honesty from someone unwilling or incapable of these.

Pope F.’s canonization of PaulVI will be because Paul exhibited heroic virtue, which is not dependent on theological accuracy.

However, PaulVI was totally faithful to the Church's theology and teaching in Humanae Vitae.

There is no room for change in the core teachings of HV including the teaching that some acts( use of artificial means of contraception) are intrinsically evil. One might add as an aside so are adultery and murder and the rest of the Ten intrinsically evil..

Situation ethics were condemned by the Church long ago and over and over. Why these guys think o.k. to contradict such historical teachings is yet to be answered.
