Humane Vitae yes was written by the Pope, but he was just confirming the long standing tradition of the church. His statement holds just little less authority than a council or an infallible statement by a pope. It would be shocking if Francis changed it.

Also how would be fruitful and multiple not be taken literally?

Because it is in Genesis which contains a lot of things even devout religious people do not take literally. Some people on here equated it to a book of parables.

Tradition can't be dogma, but something a Pope said made it so? That is the slippery slope of organized religion. Does the Church still frown on regular contraceptives (rubbers, etc?) or was it revised to IUD's and the pill?
