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

Humane Vitae yes was written by the Pope, but he was just confirming the long standing tradition of the church.

Genesis is Allegory, but one of the truths in it is be fruitful and multiply.

Tradition gave us the bible, if tradition never had an influence in the Church we wouldn't have certain dogmas like, divinity of Christ, trinity, etc. Yeah you can find those things in scripture but it was tradition it was the Church that defined some of the most important doctrines in the Church in the history of the Church. If everyone just read the bible and didn't come together to decide doctrine which the Church has done for 2000 years, Christianity is so much different.
