On 24th November 2005 the Medicine Faculty Board of Tor Vergata University will confer the Honorary Degree to John and Evelyn Billings, the Australian Medical Doctors whose effort since 1953 has led to develop the Billings Ovulation Method for natural fertility regulation. This relevant event reveals the growing commitment of university to recognising the scientific, medical, cultural and social value of natural methods and to promoting natural fertility regulation as a useful knowledge not only for responsible procreation (achieving, postponing or avoiding pregnancies), but also for safeguarding woman’s reproductive health. On this occasion the four Roman Universities: Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, La Sapienza University , Campus Biomedical University and Tor Vergata University, in co-operation with the Ministry of Health Care, the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR), the Italian University Gynaecologist Association (AGUI), the Italian Institute of Social Medicine and the Roman Vicariate, are organising the International Congress: “ SCIENCE AND ETHICS FOR RESPONSIBLE PROCREATION” On Saturday 26th November morning a special session of the Congress will deal with ethical and pastoral aspects of human love and life transmission, to coincide with the marriage centenary of the beatified couple Beltrame–Quattrocchi. This session will include speeches by Card. Camillo Ruini, President of the Italian Episcopal Conference and by Mons. Luigi Moretti, head of the Family Bureau of the Roman Vicariate. The Congress will be held: In order to attend the Conference participants are required to
