ABSTRACT

Pastoral and theological issues in natural family planning (NFP) include: 1) dignity of the person and of human

sexuality; and 2) the centrality of the family. Explanations by Pope John Paul II to various NFP groups are discussed.

The Pope stresses that there are different methods of natural family planning. Teaching of NFP must remain true to

the Church's teaching on marriage, sexuality, and birth control. The Pope also urged all groups to try to work

together. Cardinal Cooke also summarizes the accomplishments of the Diocesan Program of NFP including the

appointment of ISI coordinators, interest by Catholic hospitals, publication of teaching materials, a central

Washington consultation office established, new sex education programs, and continuous education for priests.
