April 13, 2011 - The publisher of the Italian translation of a Vatican-sponsored youth catechism has removed the translation from the market because it erroneously implies that the Church approves of contraceptive methods.
“The English translation of YOUCAT, published by Ignatius Press, does not, of course, endorse contraception but clearly affirms the Church's teaching that contraception is evil,” said Mark Brumley, president of Ignatius Press. “The German text upon which we based our translation does not endorse contraception but clearly affirms the Church's teaching that contraception is evil.”
