july 11 2017 LANSING — Gov. Rick Snyder signed 13 bills Tuesday stemming from a case of female genital mutilation that happened in Livonia in April.

“Those who commit these horrendous crimes should be held accountable for their actions, and these bills stiffen the penalties for offenders while providing additional support to victims,” Snyder said. “This legislation is an important step toward eliminating this despicable practice in Michigan while empowering victims to find healing and justice.”

Under the main bill, female genital mutilation would be considered a felony in Michigan, punishable by up to 15 years in prison. That's a harsher penalty than the 1996 federal genital mutilation law, which includes a sentence of up to five years in prison. Michigan will join at least 24 other states that have passed anti-genital cutting laws over the last two decades.

Surely Catholics consider circumcision to be wrong?

Thus, a circumcision is a non-therapeutic amputation and mutilation. Therefore, for Catholics, non-therapeutic circumcision at any age is immoral according to the teaching of the Church as expressed in the Catechism.

So, I'm not sure if my dad had the catechism on his mind when he determined that it was "unnecessary," but, he decided to make my life growing-up unnecessarily awkward by passing on the procedure. Given that the original Church fathers were Jews, and that the move to accept gentiles into the fold without ceremony was controversial, I'm surprised we've moved so dramatically away from our origins on the matter...
