Does anyone have the content of this note from a reputable source? It’s not linked from the CDF’s index of documents, and though I can find it referred to repeatedly, and an occasional quotation from it, I have not been able to find the actual note itself.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Never heard of it. Where have you seen it referenced? Who is the supposed author?

There is another document floating about out there which is supposed to be a Rule for Spouses by John Paul 2 when he was still Bishop of Krakow. Is that what you are talking about? As far as I know there is no approved English translation.

I’ve never seen it referenced before today but now I have. Very mysterious.
– Feb. 16, 1989: Note regarding the moral rule of “Humanae Vitae” and pastoral duty, saying couples who find it difficult to follow church teaching about birth control “deserve great respect and love,” but the church is firm in teaching that contraception is an “intrinsically disordered act” that is prohibited without exception.
