*A Roman Catholic doctrine stating that a Pope can never be wrong whenever he proclaims doctrines.

Therefore it strictly orders all who glory in the name of Christian, not to practise circumcision either before or after baptism, since whether or not they place their hope in it, it cannot possibly be observed without loss of eternal salvation.”
Pope Eugene IV 1442 (Bull of Union with the Copts)

“From a moral point of view, circumcision is permissible if, in accordance with therapeutic principles, it prevents a disease that cannot be countered in any other way.” Pope Pius X, 1952

Circumcision is also arguably against the Catechism:

“Except when performed for strictly therapeutic medical reasons, directly intended amputations, mutilations, and sterilizations performed on innocent persons are against the moral law.”

To think he has to have it done in the middle of the show?!! Doesn’t he know what a pain the recuperation period is? What bravery, or stupidity? If it’s any consolation, I think sympathy for him would actually make him look better for viewers. Expect his fan base to rise.

Circumcision is itself “risky surgery”, with several boys dying from it in the developed world each year (that we know of) and scores in Africa (nearly 40 a year 200-5 in Eastern Cape Province alone), as well as untold lesser risks and harms, ranging from ugly scarring, through painful erections to loss of the penis.

One thing that keeps it going in the Philippines (and the US) is the myth that it’s universal, world-wide. In fact 3/4 of the world’s men – including many you admire, such as most soccer stars – are supót.

Your claim that a dorsal slit provides “the benefits of circumcision i.e. lower penile cancer rate, lower UTI rate, and lower AIDS acquisition rate” is unsupported by any evidence and probably false, either because the dorsal slit is not enough to confer those benefits or because they are bogus. The risk of UTI is greatest in the first year, and greater for girls. Penile cancer is rarer than male breast cancer, and in six African countries, the circumcised men have a higher HIV rate than the non-circumcised.

And whether a dorsal slit preserves “the main benefit of uncircumcision i.e. intact nerve endings which translates to better uhhhm sensation” could be true, but we don’t know nearly enough about the nerve pathways to say just what a dorsal slit severs. It certainly disrupts the rolling action, which provides uhhhm sensation of its own.

they should be 18 before they themselves choose to have it done.

and if you gave them that choice, i bet many would never do it.

Btw, that website took the verses out of context. Paul and the other apostles vigorously opposed circumcision of Gentile converts to Christianity because this would water down the new faith.
Paul reasoned that Christ’s works were sufficient for pleasing God. Jews or Gentiles can never please God by being good. The Jews already had the Law which was the template for everything that pleases God yet they failed. Paul said that Gentile believers (those who now put their hope in Christ) should not place the yoke of the Law upon themselves because it was already proven through history that by following the Law nobody can be saved. The Law was just too harsh.
Now at that time certain false teachers told the Gentiles to be circumcised i.e. become Jews and be under the yoke of the Law. Such an act would have been a tantamount message saying that Christ’s sacrifice was insufficient to forgive sin! Paul did not agree with this. Hence, his violent opposition to Gentile circumcision.
Circumcision without the religious connotations is not sin. It’s just a physical act. It only becomes a sin when a spiritual aspect is added i.e when it becomes a requirement for salvation.
