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.

Situations that could lead to the
openness to other possibilities

education which may now cost more
money than before.
2. The promotion of better conditions for the
familys greater growth of love and
intimacy.
