Editorial: We must get beyond the 'Humanae Vitae' impasse | National Catholic Reporter MGB: This Pope is as much the Hugger-in-Chief as Clinton was.  That is really what matters.  On Humanae Vitae, is is both right and wrong.  It is right to continue to object to Eugenics - which is often what you find when talking about contraception in poor nations or among the poor.  Even Natural Family Planning is a copout, when the solution is more money for families through either subsidies or increased wages (preferably both). On the bad side, this is a matter of natural law, not divine revelation - the Curia and Pope need to get humble about thinking they know more on any such topic - especially one involving sexual intimacies that they do not allow themselves.  They are also wrong on both the embryology and the ethics surrounding it.  The only way to get around it is for them to geek because they are wrong.  Period.
