A number of other documents provide more insight into the Church's position on contraception. The commission appointed to study the question in the years leading up to "Humanae Vitae" issued two unofficial reports, a so-called "majority report" which described reasons the Catholic Church should change its teaching on contraception, signed by 61 of 64 scholars assigned to the pontifical commission, and a "minority report" which reiterated the reasons for upholding the traditional Catholic view on contraception. In 1997, the Vatican released a document entitled "Vademecum for Confessors" (2:4) which states "Church has always taught the intrinsic evil of contraception." Furthermore, many Church Fathers condemned the use of contraception.
