Pius took a great teaching on sexual freedom for Downs Syndrom and mentally ill patients and turned it on its head. As I said, he was acting in response to Lambreth. The majority of the encyclical was a vainglorous attempt to fight back against moderity. It was so quaint that there was an outcry for the Council to repeal it, which the Trads fought off and ultimately Ottoviani scuttled. Still, the economic logic still stands and I have no qualms in wanting birth control not to be necesssary for ecoomic reasons. Benedict echoed that in Caritas in Veritate. As for the pill, it regulated my ex-wife's emotions and removing it probably helped cause our divorce.
