BY LifeSiteNews.com By John-Henry Westen   TORONTO, November 12, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A conference on the prophetic document by Pope Paul VI, regarding contraception and called Humanae Vitae, has completely sold out a week in advance. This has stunned some organizers who were initially concerned that there would not be enough interest to fill the 400-seat hall where the conference will take place this Saturday. The conference is sponsored by Campaign Life Coalition, Priests for Life Canada, the Natural Family Planning Association, the Catholic Doctors Guild and LifeSiteNews.com. Speakers include Ottawa Archbishop Terrence Prendergast, Musician and speaker Mark Mallet, the leader of Priests for Life Canada Fr. Tom Lynch, Dr. Maria Kraw, Toronto Archbishop Thomas Collins, as well as Theology of the Body speaker Cale Clarke. "I’m thrilled at the interest in the conference," Jim Hughes of Campaign Life Coalition told LifeSiteNews.com, "it shows that there is an awakening in Canada of the importance of that 1968 document which if embraced at the time it was released would have led to a massive resurgence of respect for life."   Organizers are warning that not even one more space is available and therefore anyone arriving at the door will unfortunately not be able to be admitted. However, they say, DVD’s and CDs of all the talks will be made available for order through LifeSiteNews.com and other venues.    John-Henry Westen  Editor-in-Chief  LifeSiteNews.com http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/toronto-humanae-vitae-conference-completely-sold-out-demand-overwhelmed-org/
