Quote:Can I get a vasectomy? Here's what the Catholic Church teaches
While there are a multitude of reasons that lead men to seek out vasectomies, “direct sterilization” is deemed “morally unacceptable” in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 2399).
“To get clear on why sterilization is wrong, we need to be clear on why contraception is wrong,” moral theologian E. Christian Brugger told CNA. “Contraception is wrongful, as St. Paul VI taught, because it intentionally separates the unitive meaning of the conjugal act from its procreative meaning. Since marital intercourse is by definition unitive and procreative, a contraceptive act is morally speaking, non-marital.”
When asked how a couple should respond to a doctor’s opinion that it would be dangerous for the woman to have more children, Brugger suggested first verifying this “by getting at least one more medical opinion.” Once this is verified, Brugger suggests intently following a Natural Family Planning (NFP) method and seeking support from Catholic organizations such as the Pope Paul VI Institute.
Natural Family Planning is a form of fertility awareness where a couple can track the woman’s fertility cycle to determine when the woman is fertile. NFP can be used by couples wishing to conceive as well as by couples who are avoiding pregnancy. Couples who determine that there is a need to avoid pregnancy will abstain during the fertile period.
“Practicing tight NFP might require such a couple to abstain for longer periods of time than couples for whom such an urgency does not exist. And long periods of abstinence can be very difficult,” Brugger noted. “They might need to abstain for two weeks per month, perhaps three weeks. If this is the case, they should make their one week per month count. They can still have a beautiful conjugal life together. And their mutual sacrifice can be a source of unity and holiness.”
“This can be a heavy cross. But many couples carry such a cross, and every couple carries some cross,” he noted. “And those who carry their cross faithfully will be pleasing to the Lord and will be shaping up themselves into the kind of faithful people that will live one day in the kingdom.”
