Oregon: Bishop Vasa Severs Church’s Ties with Hospital over Sterilizations

LifeSiteNews: “The Catholic Diocese of Baker, Oregon announced yesterday that it has severed ties with St. Charles Medical Center, in Bend, because the hospital has adopted practices that violate Catholic teaching and will not back down on them . . . the hospital has insisted on . . . performing tubal ligations, which is a form of sterilization for women and is thus in violation of Church teaching against such procedures.”
