God & Sex, Is the Catholic Church out of Touch? 25th of the Month Nearly 50 years ago, Pope Bl. Paul VI promulgated Humanae Vitae, an encyclical addressing the use of contraception. 50 years later, the Catholic Church still teaches that sex is reserved for the marriage covenant, that marriage is between a man and a woman, and that the use of any artificial contraception is a sin. Cultural attitudes have changed regarding these issues, but the teaching of the Church has not. Is the Catholic Church out of touch? Please join us for this series. Wed, July 25, at St. Joseph: The Truth is the Truth, with Bishop Joseph Strickland Sat, Aug 25, at the Cathedral: Sex Trafficking in Your Back Yard, with Cassie Hammett Tuesday, Sept 25, at St. Joseph: The Hook-Up Culture, with Lisa Cooper Thursday, Oct 25, at the Cathedral: Called to Love, with Jason Evert Sunday, Nov 25, at St. Joseph: To Love is to Serve: We Need You!
