Contraception and the Natural Law by Germain Grisez is a good philosophical work. It is available online for free at: twotlj.org/other_works.html

Also, Humanae Vitae: A Generation Later by Janet E. Smith.

The Bible,ie.Onan, and you know the whole like “traditions of man nullify the will of God” thing,ie. be fruitful and multiply.

Here’s Pope Paul’s Encyclical.

What perspective of the debate are you most interested in? Biblical side of it? Philosophical side?

This is a good source especially from the biblical perspective.

Sounds good…a Catholic Answers book.

He takes a beating lately for oversimplifying and possibly viewing too much of creation through the lens of sexuality, but Christopher West’s “Good News About Sex & Marriage” still IMO provides the best popular level explanation of John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. TOB provides a far more complete explanation of the full nature of human sexuality than Humanae Vitae ever did.

If you are starting from scratch, get that book and read it first to get a layman’s broad view framework of just why God made humanity as sexual beings in the first place. The rest is FAR easier to understand once you get the big picture.
