CBCP plans consultation on family planning in July
|
|
MANILA, Philippines - The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) is expected to hold a consultation on natural family planning in July to mark the anniversary of a papal encyclical on the matter.
|
A statement on the CBCP website said the Episcopal Commission on Family and Life Apostolate would undertake the consultation.
CBCP president Angel Lagdameo said the CBCP Permanent Council discussed details of the forum to mark the encyclical "Humanae Vitae," while it holds its semi-annual plenary assembly in July.
The CBCP Episcopal Commission on Family and Life Apostolate led by Pampanga Archbishop Paciano Aniceto will organize the consultation on NFP, the CBCP said.
The Permanent Council, which includes 12 bishops representing various regions of the country, meets every two months.
Pope Paul VI issued "Humanae Vitae," an encyclical on the question of human procreation and unlawful birth control methods, on the feast of St. James the Apostle on July 25, 1968.
The Permanent Council also discussed the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) and the upcoming National Rural Congress II to be held also in July.
The Catholic Church has been adamant in opposing artificial contraception in family planning, opting instead to promote only natural family planning.
It had crossed paths several times with the government over the issue of population control.
