Oh, drop dead, James Carroll.
The only thing catastrophic about Humanae Vitae is that the CLERGY refused to support it, not the laity. I can still remember hearing sermons about how ridiculous it was. The "fresh new spring" of the Church had been blowing about for a couple of years then, and clearly many of the clergy - who had always been dissidents, but quiet about it - thought that their moment had arrived.
'Former priest' -- well, now, isn't THAT an interesting bit of information??? hahaha. The former priest I know is a "Vat 3" sort.
Yes, the 60s and 70s radical priests are still rebellious and filled with Pride of Self. tsk tsk tsk.
Bumping for future reference.
