Sunday

Our sweet, sweet friends Beth and Ken brought their two adorable kiddies Madeleine and John Paul up from Indy for Mass on Sunday.
We also had a nice post-Mass pizza lunch with our friends Dan and Michelle and little Baby Ben.

Thanks for coming up, Packs! It was such fun, even if it was a short visit.
Mary is already talking about seeing Madeleine again.

Why not?

From a moral point of view, circumcision is permissible if, in accordance with therapeutic principles, it prevents a disease that cannot be countered in any other way.

Except when performed for strictly therapeutic medical reasons, directly intended amputations, mutilations, and sterilizations performed on innocent persons are against the moral law.
