This book is the first to present a comprehensive historical
picture of the modern Catholic concern with the body and sexuality.
The Catholic church is commonly believed to have always opposed
birth control and abortion throughout the centuries. Yet the
Catholic encounter with modern sexuality has a more complex and
interesting history. What was the meaning of sexual purity? Why did
eugenics matter to Catholicism? How did the Society of Jesus
interpret the idea of overpopulation? Why did Pius XI decide to
issue the notorious encyclical Casti connubii on Christian marriage
- the first modern papal pronouncement on birth control, abortion,
and eugenics? In answering these questions, Lucia Pozzi uncovers
new archival and unpublished records to dig into Catholic responses
to modern sexual knowledge, showing the Catholic church at times
resisting, but also often welcoming, scientific modernity.
