Are Catholics circumsized

Answer 1

.

Answer from a CatholicThat is an entirely personal decision of the parents, the only religious significance it held was under the Old Covenant (the Mosaic Covenant). The sacrament of baptism completely replaced circumcision as far as its religious significance went. To circumcise yourself in the hopes of being saved is to commit a sin. To observe any of the commandments of the Old Covenant which existed only to foreshadow the New Covenant is to express disbelief in the New Covenant, as St. Thomas states. St. Thomas Aquinas, in his Summa Theologica, discusses the ceremonial precepts of the Old Law (of which circumcision was one) and in the Second Part of the First Part, Question 103, article 4 asks, "Whether Since Christ's Passion the Legal Ceremonies Can Be Observed Without Committing Mortal Sin? . . .then he quotes The Apostle (Gal. 5:2) "If you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing." But nothing save mortal sin hinders us from receiving Christ's fruit. Therefore since Christ's Passion it is a mortal sin to be circumcised, or to observe the other legal ceremonies. "I answer that, "All ceremonies are professions of faith, in which the interior worship of God consists. Now man can make profession of his inward faith, by deeds as well as by words: and in either profession, if he make a false declaration, he sins mortally.
