DETROIT—Sacred Heart Major Seminary is sponsoring a one-day conference to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae and to explore its themes. The conference, titled “Co-creating with God: Humanae Vitae Today,” is Sept. 20 at the seminary at 2701 Chicago Blvd., Detroit.
The conference features speakers with national reputations for advocating and defending the Catholic position on the transmission of human life:
Dr. Janet E. Smith, the Father Michael J. McGivney Chair of Life Ethics at Sacred Heart Major Seminary, is a moral theologian who speaks and writes extensively in support of the principles of Humanae Vitae.
Dr. Pia de Solenni is an ethicist and moral theologian who comments regularly on national media outlets about Catholic Church issues and women’s concerns.
Dr. Patrick Fagan is director of the Center for Family and Religion at the Family Research Council. He is an authority on social science studies that support the ethics of Humanae Vitae.
Dr. Michael Waldstein, a member of the Pontifical Council for the Family, is an expert on the Pope John Paul II’s landmark philosophy of marital love, “Theology of the Body.”
Greg and Julie Anderson, co-hosts of an EWTN program, are founders of an apostolate dedicated to the enrichment of marriage and family life.
Dr. Mark Latkovic, professor of moral and systematic theology at Sacred Heart, is a frequent speaker and consultant on various moral issues and has been published in numerous Catholic journals.
Most Rev. Robert J. Carlson, bishop of the Diocese of Saginaw, is the celebrant and homilist of the conference Mass. He has written powerfully on the need for Catholics to be faithful to the church’s teaching on the transmission of human life.
