Paul VI (1897–1978). Pope from 21 June 1963. Born Giovanni Battista Montini near Brescia, he entered the papal secretariat of state in 1924 and served there until appointed archbishop of Milan in 1955. As pope he pledged himself to continue the policies of John XXIII: he continued the Second Vatican Council, instituted a regular synod of bishops to assist in governing the church, reformed the curia and the diplomatic service, legislated for revised liturgical rites, and abolished the Index. In 1967 he published Humanae Vitae which reiterated the traditional RC rejection of artificial means of birth control, and this overshadowed his more progressive actions, such as the 1975 Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Nuntiandi with its implicit endorsement of some elements of liberation theology.
