“It is impossible to reconcile the doctrine of the divine institution of marriage with any modernistic plan for the mechanical regulation of or suppression of human birth. The church must either reject the plain teachings of the Bible or reject schemes for the ‘scientific’ production of human souls.

The suggestion that the use of legalized contraceptives would be ‘careful and restrained’ is preposterous.”
