It wasn't a nominally Catholic hospital that did the tubal btw, it was a Sister of Charity hospital that concluded that under the circumstances, the tubal was acceptable.

I'll have to tell you, as a Catholic who has studied these issues, the hospital was wrong according to Catholic doctrine. Sterilization is not morally acceptable. It's acceptable to remove a diseased organ, even if sterility is an unavoidable side effect, but a tubal does meet that qualification.

You may think that they did the right thing, and you're free to do that, but Aquinasfan and I know our religion well enough that we can tell you with 100% certainty that the hospital was not being faithful to Catholic doctrine.

Fair enough. I'm glad a I'm a protestant.
