What method?


13/19

"When there is a question of harmonizing

conjugal love with the responsible transmission

of life, the moral aspect of any procedure does

not depend solely on sincere intentions or on anevaluation of motives. It must be determined by

objective standards. These, based on the nature

of the human person and his acts,preservethe

full sense of mutual self-giving and humanprocreationin the context of true love.

Rule of the thumb

In view of some existing goods

weightier than the openness to

the possibility of transmission oflife, the couples option to use

appropriate means to plan their

family is justified.


18/19

Situations that could lead to the

openness to other possibilities

1. The assurance of the present childrens

education which may now cost more

money than before.

2. The promotion of better conditions for the

familys greater growth of love and

intimacy.

3. The welfare of the community being

served by the couples who need more

precious time.
