I have received so many messages of support from across the country - women and men speaking out because they agree that contraception needs to be treated as a basic health care service.
It is impossible for us to understand the Church if we regard her as subject to the limitations of human culture. For she is essentially a supernatural organism which transcends human cultures and transforms them to her own ends.
Thank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough.
