Paul VI–4; Government Policies & Social Opinion–0

Paul VI was right. To the decently well read and open-minded individual, it’s no surprise when people suggest that Pope Paul VI was right. In 1968 he made 4 predictions in section 17 of his letter to the world, Humanae Vitae, and Phil Lawler summarizes how recent infringements on human rights in China, Peru and beyond confirm one of the late Holy Father’s four predictions regarding the effects of widespread contraception on society.

For a more thorough (think names and stats), fabulously well-written, article on the same subject, check Mary Eberstadt’s “The Vindication of Humanae Vitae.”
