I had a vasectomy because of my wife's high-risk pregnancies; is confession enough to rejoin the Church?
A viewer who is a cradle Catholic returning to the faith after decades as a Protestant explains that he had a vasectomy due to his wife's high-risk pregnancies, and asks whether confession is enough for him to rejoin the Church.
Answer
Yes, definitely; confession is enough. You might even consider a reversal, depending on your age, because a vasectomy is not only about the present but the future; if, God forbid, your wife were to die and you wished to marry again, there go your chances for children, so it is worth thinking about even apart from your present situation. Go and talk to the priest; I am sure he will help you deal with it. The Church has canon law on this and material in the catechism that the priest can use to guide you.
