In an open letter to Pope Benedict, more than 50 Catholic groups are urging him to remove the Church’s ban on contraception. The letter, which appeared as a half-page ad in Corriere della Sera, Italy’s largest newspaper, called the ban on contraception “catastrophic,” citing reasons such as danger to women’s lives and HIV risk. According to a Vatican spokesperson, the groups who penned the letter are “very insignificant,” dismissing the article as “paid propaganda.”
The letter to the Pope was published on the 40th anniversary of the late Pope Paul VI’s encyclical “Humanae Vitae,” which made the contraception ban sacred.
