Default What does the Church teach about circumcision?

It is my understanding that in the bible it states that God asked Abraham to circumcise himself, his male family members and staff to show their covenant with God. I also understand that the church does not expect this from their male members. Can you tell me why not?

The following links should explain the Catholic teaching on circumcision. If you have any further questions or concerns that are not answered by these links, please contact Catholic Answers directly.
