This report about an article in the Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, has attracted a bit of attention because of a claim that the oral contraceptive pill was contributing to male infertility:
The pill “has for some years had devastating effects on the environment by releasing tonnes of hormones into nature” through female urine, said Pedro Jose Maria Simon Castellvi, president of the International Federation of Catholic Medical Associations, in the report.
“We have sufficient evidence to state that a non-negligible cause of male infertility in the West is the environmental pollution caused by the pill,” he said, without elaborating further.
