Abstract

This article deals with a socio-historical enigma: the articulation of family planning – through dedicated centres – and catholicism. How come self-identified catholics ended up defending contraception and decriminalisation of abortion while the Catholic Church kept reminding that sexuality should be conjugal and reproductive? The article examines the process of creating a discursive and practical normativity allowing the use of contraception and abortion through a catholic ‘tool’, that is, the pastoral power at a time of secularisation. Borrowing the concept developed by Michel Foucault enables highlighting the ‘catholic governmentality’ regarding contraception and abortion, namely, the ‘responsible-freedom’.

自由与负责:天主教婚姻中心的性、牧灵与管理艺术(1953-1990)

这篇文章探讨了一个社会历史之谜：通过专门的中心，计划生育与天主教的关系。为什么自我认同的天主教徒最终为避孕和堕胎非刑事化辩护，而天主教会一直提醒性行为应该是夫妻和生殖的？这篇文章探讨了通过天主教的“工具”，即世俗化时期的牧业权力，创造一种允许使用避孕和堕胎的话语和实践规范的过程。借用米歇尔·福柯提出的概念，可以突出关于避孕和堕胎的“天主教政府心态”，即“负责任的自由”。
