During the 2008 International Eucharistic Congress, Cardinal Ouellet praised Humanae Vitae. He noted the connection between the Eucharist and respect for human life. “The consequences of the culture of contraception,” he said, “are visible in the culture with abortion and with the question of marriage.” Again in 2018, while interpreting Amoris Laetitia, he sounded the same theme, connecting the use of contraception, abortion, euthanasia, divorce, and “the pseudo-marriage of same-sex couples” as part of what St. John Paul II called “the culture of death.”
