CHAPTER SIX

The Birth Control Battle

Catholics and the Enlightenment

Let us go back again to the early ‘60s, specifically to that scene in Philadelphia in 1962, in front of Independence Hall, celebrating the 4th of July, attended by a Catholic President, a Catholic Governor, and a Catholic mayor. I have described this as the high water mark of Catholic power in this country. And one of the main reasons that Catholics had this much power, as we did, was because we were having children. We were having a lot of children. The baby boom. I am a product of the baby boom. It was largely a Catholic phenomenon. And we didn’t even think about it. But other people did. There were people known as demographers, people who study population. And these people became aware of what was going on. They saw the handwriting on the wall. And the handwriting on the wall was basically that the Catholics were going to take over. Bertrand Russell once said that his biggest fear was that America would become a Catholic country. Well, the people who knew this were very influential. These were the people who ran the culture.

And so, as we have seen, you have a conflict between two groups, the Catholics and the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment, of course, being this group of people who believed in what we would call secular humanism. And one of the non-negotiable demands of secular humanism is sexual liberation. Now, maybe you think this is incidental to what these people believe. It’s not. It goes to the heart of what they believe. We are talking about two groups that will never be able to make peace with each other, because their world views are completely and diametrically opposed. On the one hand, you have people who subordinate their desires to the truth. This is what Catholics are supposed to do. On the other hand, you have a group of people who subordinate truth to their desires. They want a world where their desires are the law. And that’s the world that we live in, because we lost the cultural revolution. We lost the battle of the ‘60s. Leo Pfeffer was right. It was a battle between the Catholic Church and the Enlightenment over who was going to determine the future of this country, and we lost. You know why we lost? What their secret weapon was? The weapon that would destroy the political power of the Catholics? It was the contraceptive. And that’s what these people were interested in.

The Rockefellers and the Population Council

Now, let me get to the specifics. I keep saying “these people.” I keep sounding like a conspiracy theorist, and, yes, it is a conspiracy. But, let me be specific about the people we are talking about, the Rockefeller Foundation. John D. Rockefeller III in the early ‘50s created an institution called the Population Council. The main goal of the Population Council was to create a world where everyone was going to use the contraceptive. And
