Contraception, NFP, and Humanae Vitae in Christian Historical Thought and the Orthodox Church
On July 25th, 1968, Pope Paul VI, the same Pope who gleefully ransacked the traditional Latin mass and replaced it with what is essentially a Lutheran Sunday service, issued the encyclical Humanae Vitae. The encyclical came after roughly a century of debate on the topic of contraception.
In this video we delve into the history of Christian thought on contraception and abortion, its origins, and how it shaped (or didn't shape) Humanae Vitae and the modern Roman Catholic and Orthodox positions.

marriage just became way less deaireable for me wow I have 0 chance of following any of this.
I love how St Basil at the end just comes in with the hammer of truth , I actually laughed out loud , Glory to God
This is gonna be a fun one
Knowing this, is there even hope for any of us? I feel very distraught. Lord have mercy
Is it therefore perfect to procreate exactly once a month, during the wife's fertility period? And doing it any more than this, to avoid infidelity or any such greater sin, is an imperfection?
Am I right to take away from this that there was near patristic consensus against natural family planning?
St Basil the based. I was getting worried with all the “it’s okay to kill babies if they’re little enough” talk. They have little legs and arms and a beating heart before we even know we are pregnant, so when would the abortion be legit then? Before knowing?
I'm converting from Catholicism was wondering what the opinion is on rebaptism if I was baptized as a baby in a Catholic Church
Why is Clement of Alexandria listed as "(St.) Clement of Alexandria" in the slides where he's quoted? My impression is that he was influential and important, but not a saint.
Are you implying that NFP is justifiable if one is Orthodox, but it is not if one is Latin because Latin claims contradict one another?
I've been thinking about this quite a bit. Partially, it's because I'd like to have the room in my household to adopt as well as have my own children, and partially because I've caught some anxiety about bringing children into a stressful household situation with more kids than either I or my future wife may be able to handle... which, I suppose, should be alleviated by a function of the local parish.
The condemnation as mortally sinful of sex positions other than missionary by celibates is one of the most autistic things ive ever heard.
Wow this video is alarming may God give us strength to abstain from our lust
As a note relevant but completely on the side, my wife, who is a Latin Mass Catholic, has similar concerns over Humanae and NFP, and Orthodox Talks talked me out of the same some years ago. Sadly, prior to that, we followed HV (and prior to that, we were at first not at all, and then for a few years just barely and remotely anything close to Christian). Not long after rejecting HV/the GOARCH view of things, I became crippled, leading us to mutually and immediately decide on continual refraining.

Really confused on what the video was trying to get at. Is the argument Orthodox should only have sexual relations with their lawful spouse for procreation alone??? Very confused...
Obviously abortion is a sin, even early abortion such as birth control. Anything that kills the sperm is a sin.
Just one correction, Clement of Alexandria is not a saint. Not only was he never canonized, but he was rebuked severely by St. Photius the Great on a multitude of topics.
