St. Mike's to host Humanae Vitae forum

By  Canadian Catholic News
  • October 24, 2008
{mosimage}TORONTO - Pope Paul VI’s controversial encyclical Humanae Vitae will be under the microscope at a Toronto conference later this month.

“Celebrating the Richness of Humanae Vitae: a buried treasure” is the theme of the Nov. 15 conference. It will examine Pope Paul VI’s 1968 encyclical in light of church teaching on sexuality and marriage, marking the document’s 40th anniversary.
Humanae Vitae stresses the importance of never separating procreation and the couple’s communion in the marriage act.

Speakers include Ottawa Archbishop Terrence Prendergast, S.J., speaking on the encyclical, Cale Clarke on Theology of the Body, musician Mark Mallett, Dr. Maria Kraw on a medical perspective and Priests for Life Canada national director Fr. Tom Lynch on the teaching’s relevance today. 

The conference will be held at the University of St. Michael’s College’s Sam Sorbara Auditorium in Brennan Hall. It begins at 8 a.m. and runs all day, with Toronto Archbishop Thomas Collins saying the closing Mass at 5:15 p.m.

More information is available via e-mail at humanaevitae40@gmail.com and on the Toronto archdiocese’s web site at www.archtoronto.org. Cost is $5.
