The practice of sterilization of the physically unfit is proclaimed to be against the law of God. The unfit, the Pontiff admits, should be dissuaded from marriage, but he maintains that the body of every man is sacreC and that pub- lic magistrates can be given no power to harm the body's integ- rity, except where a grave crime is concerned. Condemns Birth Control In dealing with birth control, the Pope referred to the Lambeth conference of last summer, and declared "Since openly separating from the uninterrupted Christian tradition, some recently have judged it possible to solemnly de- clare another doctrine regarding this question." The Catholic Church condemns all such practices as "against the law of God and nature." The Pope's encyclical brands all those indulging in practices 'with the guilt of a cra- ven sin." Any circumstances such as health or economic conditions do not constitute an excuse, he maintained, In support of his assertions the Pontiff quoted St. n such cases called a woman, "a mere distress of her husband," and a man the paramour of his wife, Against Divorce contraceptive | | Augustine, who | J The encylical sets forth length- | ily Catholiclsm's teachings against | divorce and as a. principle remedy for many existing evils the Pon- tiff proposes fidelity to religious life on which alone can be built fidelity to the marital obligation and to traditional church teach- ings, While not mentioning sexual education, the Pope discounten- ances "exaggerated physiological education." He stresses at length the need for preparation for mar- ried life, declaring 'it cannot be denied that the basis of a happy | unhappy | wedlock and ruin of an one is prepared and set in the souls of boys and girls during the period of childhood adolescense. The encyclical asks adequate state laws touching upon the state and family, saying that the reli- gious and civil powers should co- operate therein.
