Catholic Church against Cesarean section

Rye Wrote: For the record, there was actually a fairly reasonable reason that the RCC was against C-sections: until fairly recently, it was a procedure with an extremely high mortality rate. For the longest time, it was so risky it was only performed when the mother was either dead or almost guaranteed to die anyway.

C-sections were safe since the start of 20th century, but the Catholic Church was discouraging it in the middle of 20th century to after 1980s and forcing something brutal not because it was safer but because C-sections were against some moral law and were leading to sin

Quote:By the start of the 20th century, the advancement of anesthesia and antisepsis had made C-sections practical and safe enough for doctors to start focusing on refining and improving the procedure. By around 1920 these various advancements has shaped C-sections into the modern surgical procedure that we are familiar with today. C-sections were no longer viewed as a desperate option of last resort. Now the C-section was being used as a preemptive solution to improve outcomes for mother and baby.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
