You are shitting me about this, right? If the concern is that he cannot procreate without assistance, then why doesn't the Catholic Church force annulments on all married Catholics who have to resort to assisted reproduction or adoption becuase they too are incapable of procreating? Will theyt deny the sacrament of marriage to a woman who had to have a hysterectomy or a man who had an orchidectomy for medical reasons prior to marriage?
