He said " After a discussion today at school, I am about 80% sure that circumcision is a mortal sin". I thought to myself, no way. Surely, if circumcision was morally wrong I would have heard about it long before now. Many articles seem to lean towards the right of the parents to make that decision.

Actually, I hadn't thought a lot about circumcision in ethical terms. We're Catholic but I think this certainly applies to anyone with a good ethical background. I think it sounds outlandish at first but it's logically spot-on.<br /><br />I just <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/catholicism/2381587.html" rel="nofollow"CDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799600678809917604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-18110385096941592252010-03-12T18:31:33.329-05:002010-03-12T18:31:33.329-05:00Thank you for sharing this!

The very act of intentionally destroying a part of the body is itself a grave offense in natural law and against our understanding of the Theology of the Body. <br /><br />That Americans routinely do this to innocent, helpless newborns Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-72693510820992132812010-03-12T16:57:57.464-05:002010-03-12T16:57:57.464-05:00The priest's summary is excellent, and an extr...The priest's summary is excellent, and an extraordinary contrast to the support the Catholic Church gives to circumcision in the Philippines.<br /><br />I have a quibble with the T-shirt, that it may be read metaphorically, especially by Jews (and Muslims) as "Christianity, not Judaism".<br /><br />How about "Because we're Christian - Baptism, not circumcision"<br /><Hugh7http://www.circumstitions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-34093189991102072562010-03-11T23:12:10.275-05:002010-03-11T23:12:10.275-05:00This is great!!

But when you look at all that Catholicism teaches (as this Father points out) it is already there. We just have to be willing to open our eyes. <br /><br />I don't have a son (yet) but I already have this shirt and so does my husband.

I do wish that there was a more clear stance on its current practice, but the text of the Catechism makes it so clear to me. Wish it made it that clear for all Catholics. And I SOOOO want to get that "Baptism, not cicumcision"Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029296444906951529noreply@blogger.com
