- Title
Alana Harris (ed.), The Schism of '68: Catholic Contraception and 'Humanae Vitae' in Europe, 1945–1975.
- Authors
Ewing, Christopher
- Abstract
When Pope Pius VI issued the I Humanae Vitae i encyclical on 25 July 1968, he attempted to settle debates about oral contraception that were sweeping the Catholic Church. Through a decisive condemnation of the anovulant pill, the papacy quashed hopes that the Church would embrace sexual modernity and deem the pill to be as "natural" as the so-called rhythm method. In so doing, this collection appeals to historians of most European contexts, East and West, albeit primarily historians with a specialization in twentieth-century Christianity and sexuality.
