Circumcision is not a Catholic ting. It's a Jewish thing. She's Catholic.
The largest Catholic nations on earth (Brazil, all of Latin America, Germany, and France), hardly ever circumcise their boys.
My whole family is South American and Catholic, and none of them are circumcised.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
