the comment of Pope Pius XI, it sounds to me as if he is condemning NFPNFP was first "approved" so to speak, by the Sacred Penitentiary under Blessed Pope Pius IX around 1850, when the Church first became aware of the practice and the science and theology behind it. Pope Pius XI, elsewhere in the Encyclical Casti Conubii also of course approves of periodic continence, since the Popes loathe to contradict their predecessors.
