Rome Quotes

"To militantly reject Humanae Vitae is really to reject the Church's moral authority, and such rejection, I have noticed, colors a priest's whole theological outlook and performance. In the first twenty-five years of my priesthood [ordained in 1947], whenever I met a priest for the first time I could sense an immediate rapport, because we were in total theological agreement. Today the same kinship is felt only when one learns that the newly met priest accepts Humanae Vitae."

-Fr. Paul Marx, OSB
