Or, they can accept the decline of the market and concentrate on how to make economic performance serve as many interests as possible.

Subsequently, how- ever, many scholars and religious leaders have distinguished between the unitive and the procreative aspects of marriage (which Pius XI1 deemed inseparable), maintaining that A.I.H. can be seen as comple- tion rather than replacement of sexual intercourse.
