Summary/Abstract: The article discusses Pope Paul VI’s encyclicals Eccelsiam suam and Humanae vitae and their relevance for the Church teaching on moral principles concerning procreation, marital love and human sexuality. Pope Paul VI expressed his opposition to the corruption of morality and his words resonate with striking prophetic relevance. The Pope called for conversion and opening to Christ again by showing to the confused generation the joy of Christianity and Christ as the true source of happiness. His pontificate teaches us fidelity to the Gospel and to traditional Church teaching by reminding man’s call to holiness.
