Default Christians (Re: Circumcision - Part 2)

Over 95% of the world's Christians follow the New Testament's clear instruction not to circumcise. For Catholics it is expressly forbidden. Somehow, Catholics in the US and Philippines didn't get the memo.

The Holy Roman Church "...strictly orders all who glory in the name of Christian, not to practise circumcision either before or after baptism, since whether or not they place their hope in it, it cannot possibly be observed without loss of eternal salvation."

From Cantate Domino, re-affiirmed by Pope Pius XII in 1952
