vasectomy
I was thumbing through the Church Handbook the other night when I saw a section on vasectomies. I was surprised to see that the church not only discouraged them, but said that Bishops should be consulted in making this decision.
I think this is bizarre for 2 reasons: 1. This is buried in the back of the CHI where no regular church member will read it. I know lots of active men who have had them and know they didn't even think to consult their bishop. 2. I don't get why the church really cares. They got over birth control decades ago. Think of it as a condom that doesn't wear out.
