As the Catholic Church in America responds to the H.H.S. mandate involving contraception, the Fr. John A. Hardon. S.J. Archive & Guild would like to share one of Father's articles on the Church's teaching on contraception.
Contraception: Fatal to the Faith
by Fr. John Hardon
This must seem like a strange title, "Contraception: Fatal to the faith." What does the title mean? Does it mean that to believe in contraception is contrary to the faith? Or does it mean that-Christian believers may not practice contraception? Or does it mean that those who practice contraception are in danger of losing their faith?
Please be more clear on just what we mean when we say, "contraception, fatal to the faith?"
What do we mean by the title and what is the thesis of this presentation? We mean that professed Catholics who practice contraception either give up the practice of contraception or they give up their Catholic faith.

The following article, Late priest with local roots on path toward sainthood, appeared on August 18 in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review:
The late Rev. John A. Hardon, son of a Midland steelworker, is on the path to sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church.
"He was a remarkable, holy and learned priest," said James Berry, executive director of the Father John Hardon Archive and Guild in St. Louis. "His humility and austere living, combined with his intellect and ability to communicate the church's teachings so effectively, make him a good candidate."
Hardon died in Clarkson, Mich., in 2000. He is considered "a servant of God," the first step toward sainthood. Subsequent stages are venerable, blessed, then saint. Except in the case of martyrs, the latter two steps require a miracle through the individual's intercession...
