O que a IGREJA diz sobre a VASECTOMIA? | PAC #24

Vasectomy is considered a mortal sin in the Catholic Church due to mutilating a healthy organ. If performed without knowledge of it being a sin, it becomes venial and is absolved during confession. Individuals who discover it was a sin can confess and seek forgiveness or consider reversal surgery, demonstrating their commitment to pleasing God.

Vasectomy as Sin

• 00:00:15 The Catholic Church teaches that a vasectomy is a mortal sin because it involves mutilating a healthy organ without a valid reason, not solely for preventing childbirth. This act is considered comparable to self-mutilation for aesthetic reasons, which is inherently sinful.

Confession and Reversal

• 00:01:27 If a person discovers that a vasectomy is a sin after having it performed, they can seek forgiveness through confession. The Catholic Church also suggests considering reversal surgery as an act of generosity toward God, contingent on the individual's desire to please God outweighing their prior desire to avoid children. If reversal isn't possible, individuals can still find peace through confession and God's mercy.
