The Catholic Church forbids circumcision for any reason! - Geremia - 02-27-2014 Pope Eugene IV's bull Cantate Domino says that "The sacrosanct Roman Church" Council of Florence (A.D. 1438-1445) Wrote:commands all who glory in the name of Christian, at whatever time, before or after baptism, to cease entirely from circumcision, since, whether or not one places hope in it, it cannot be observed at all without the loss of eternal salvation. Re: The Catholic Church forbids circumcision for any reason! - Melkite - 02-27-2014 I hope many expecting parents will take this to heart. Circumcision is on the next tier below abortion of the violations of the right to life. Re: The Catholic Church forbids circumcision for any reason! - dark lancer - 02-27-2014 How do we know whether it was done or not?

Re: The Catholic Church forbids circumcision for any reason! - frater - 02-27-2014 I've heard of this proscription before, is it binding on persons who had it done in their infancy, against their will?

We wouldn't know either way if it was done during infancy. I don't want to know personally.

Only if you chose to have it done as an adult and have not repented of it. If it was done to you as an infant, obviously you are not going to hell for that.

If you have a brown ring around the middle, and no skin covering the end, you're circumcised. Mutilated. Not as God created you. Re: The Catholic Church forbids circumcision for any reason! - PrairieMom - 02-27-2014 I think the passage that the OP quoted is in reference to ritual circumcision. There have been Christians throughout history that has insisted that we needed to abide by the Old Covenant. Modern circumcision is different. The history is different and the reasons are different (thank Mr. Kellogg for that one). Currently, the principal Catholic objection to circumcision is based on the principal of violating the rights of the person. from http://www.drmomma.org/2010/03/morality-of-circumcision-according-to.html Quote:Question: |
