Description: The debate over the morality of contraception has raged through the Catholic community for nearly a decade. Confined at first to a controversy over the use of the pill, the contraception issue has broadened out into a wholesale re-examination of the nature of sexuality, and therefore of the very meaning of man as a being in history. Sociologists, psychologists, historians, canon lawyers, philosophers and theologians have contributed to this re-examination and have marshalled their arguments on one side or the other of the central question. But the matter remains unresolved, and the time is now appropriate for a last rebuttal of the traditional position and a final summary of the case for contraception.
