So what does the Archdioces of Los Angeles paper do for the 40th anniversary of Humanae Vitae? Though part of the blame can be put on the USCCB’s news service.

In tribute to Pope Paul’s prophetic letter.
It was 40 years ago today,
Paulus Sextus wrote Humanae Vitae.
It’s been going in and out of style,
Only lately has it raised a smile.
So may I introduce to you,
The act you’ve known for all these years:
Giovanni’s Loyal Hearts Club Band.
We’re Papa Johnny’s Loyal Hearts Club Band,
The Lord Jesus is the reason for our hope.
We’re Papa Johnny’s Loyal Hearts Club Band
More Catholic than a reigning pope.
Papa Giovanni’s, Papa Giovanni’s
Papa Johnny’s Loyal Heart Hearts Club Band.
It’s wonderful to be here,
we survived Planned Parenthood,
You’re such a lovely audience
We’d like to take you home with us,
We’d love to take you home.
Margaret Sanger wants to stop the show,
But I thought that you might like to know,
Papa Johnny’s letter wins the day,
the letter called Humanae Vitae.
So let me introduce to you
the one and only Servant of God
Giovanni Battista Montini.
