Pope reaffirms ban on birth control across Church
Pope Paul VI reaffirmed the Catholic ban on all artificial birth control methods in a 38 page encyclical to bishops. He warned that directly interrupting the generative process is not licit and that abortion sterilization and acts blocking procreation are forbidden. The document rejects liberal recommendations and signals a possible church crisis as priests in several regions resist contraception.

In Tampa a doctor who separated conjoined twins said there is a good chance the surviving infant will lead a normal life after one twin died Sunday.

Vessels between the hearts and tissue between the livers were severed and tied off. The surviving infant was alive and doing reasonably well and the mother is also in good condition.
