In the West, many Catholics ignore the Church's teachings on sex. But in poorer countries the words of the priest still matter, whether spoken from the pulpit or through a government minister. Pope John Paul believes everyone - not just the world's billion Catholics - should follow the Vatican's teachings. And he's tried to make sure the world listens, becoming a key player in the bitter global debate over women's rights and reproductive health. In this unique documentary, Steve Bradshaw investigates how the Pope who tried to act in the best interests of women came to be accused of ruining so many lives. In French: ‹‹ Église et contraception ››
