When Pope Paul VI issued his landmark 1968 encyclical on marital chastity, Humanae Vitae, he predicted dire consequences from the growing acceptance of unnatural methods of birth control. He was widely ridiculed at the time by those who dissented from Humanae Vitae, but today nobody is laughing. In fact, each passing year more and more people proclaim him as a great prophet. That he was, but he was not the first to predict the unhappy consequences of contraception.
In this column I will mention some of those who preceded him.
