| Итог: | In 1948, Massachusetts Catholics, led by Archbishop Richard Cushing, successfully campaigned against a voter referendum that would have repealed the state’s law prohibiting the dissemination of birth control devices and information.

This article shows why and how Massachusetts Catholics (lay and clerical) changed their position on the limitations to birth control, the final restrictions in the country. They adopted a pluralistic language of religious tolerance with the help of John Courtney Murray, as he was drafting the Declaration on Religious Freedom. |
