The Vatican has "allowed" the removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) when it is irreversibly in a state that an eventual pregnancy would bring about a "spontaneous abortion".
A January 3 document of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith claims that in such cases hysterectomy is not a sterilisation. But this leaves the question open, why such a hysterectomy should be performed.

What do you expect from faithless "men?" These are the same poofs who would have told St. Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, to forget pregnancy. It will never happen so you may as well get rid of your womb. Since the Cardinal is either celibate or a sodomite, no chance of ever fathering a child so why not have your testes removed?
