WITHOUT being indelicate, most Catholic boys in this country did not USED to be circumciesed.

Say what? I'm 62 years old, Catholic all those years and been circumcised all those years (well almost all :). Catholic boys have been getting circumcised at least that long I would say.

Well, apparently in my family, they did NOT.



Possibly regional difference?

Also, there was a REAL PUSH in the 60's to circumsize little boys for "health reasons", and there was nothing religieous about it. Just something the doctors and hospitals pushed for.
