March 23, 2010 (pop.org) – Introduction: Only a few days before he died, Father Paul Marx returned to the topic that had so often occupied him during his long decades as a pro-life missionary - namely, the great encyclical Humanae Vitae. He sent this short article, in which he underlines the accuracy of Pope Paul VI’s predictions about what would happen, if contraception became prevalent in society. We send it out now both because it contains timeless truths, and also to honor our Founder and long-time Chairman, Fr. Marx, who has gone to be with the Father.
