  There will come a time when 'the Church' will refer to Pope Paul 6 and 'Humanae Vitae' as the 'breakthrough document' acknowledging the fact that human sexuality is not always and only 'procreative'
  
  Pul 6 acknowledges that, for humans, it is 'the natural law' that procreation is possible only during that period of the month when the woman is ovulating. And that sexual activity is permitted when procreation is not possible. And that 'family planning' is a Virtue.
  
  He does contradict himself in trying to uphold former 'norms' prohibiting 'artificial' contraceptives; but once the rationale that 'all sexual activity must be procreative' is dispelled, the reasoning behind that norm is no longer valid.
