Either human sexuality is left "to the arbitrary will of man" or God has given it a design and it must be respected. In this episode Jason and Dr. Bulzacchelli discuss the document itself. We cover:
-The competency of the Magisterium to make such a declaration
-The "principle of totality"
-Fidelity to God's design
-The decision to abstain from the marital act
-The moral difference between a contraceptive mentality used with licit means of avoiding birth compared to using artificial contraception for grave/serious reasons
-An appropriate use of science
-The family apostolate and witness of married couples
