Abstract

How does the modern understanding of science and technology affect the Church's traditional interpretation of the natural law? Is freedom opposed to the necessities of nature? Can there be exceptions to the natural law? Humanae Vitae provided a test case where opposing ideas of 'nature' emerged, giving rise to different theologies. The encyclical, together with subsequent magisterial teaching, has also provided the basis for the development of a rich theology of marriage.
