There have been many Issues with male circumcision and the Roman Catholic Church.

Jesus, the Christ, was reared in a Jewish family in Israel by Mary, his mother and Joseph, his step-father. Israel was a Jewish nation where Judaism was the prevailing religion. Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day in accordance with the Abrahamic covenant.

The first followers of Jesus were Jews, since his ministry was in Jewish Israel. After Jesus ascended into heaven, an issue arose among his followers as to whether it was necessary for Christians to be circumcised in accordance with the Abrahamic covenant, as advocated by the Judaizer party.

It was necessary to hold a meeting to resolve the issue. The Council at Jerusalem was held approximately 49 AD to establish a policy. The Council determined that circumcision is not necessary to be a Christian and wrote a letter stating that.[1]
