Imagine sacrificing a body part created by God to serve God.. is it not a sin? I'm sure the boys willing gave them up cos slavery was/is another form of religion |

This is what false religion can do. What's the scriptural backing for castration? None 3 Likes |

siofra: You are only being mischievous, cos your heading and content of the message is two different things. Your topic made it seem like the church forced castration on them, rather they choose to be castrated in other to join choir of the church. Or maybe you can explain better. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Another topic to bash the Catholic church. While I don't hold brief for any church,but let's not forget the fact that this article is talking about 16 century. Let's just imagine what was going on in other cultural and religious setting at that point in time. Another salient point, which the op failed to establish is that it was still a Roma Catholic pope who abolished the practice. It was in 1878 that Pope Leo XIII banned the church from hiring castrati. The article also didn't do justice to the fact that in most cases that the parents are the ones who sort for their children to be castrated,so that they could achieve fame and riches. It also failed to mention the fact that these musicians did not perform only in catholic church's. They performed in famous occasions and for the high and mighty. It was recorded that Queen Elisabetta Farnese of Spain, hired Farinelli to cure her husband of depression. Mind you like I said earlier,am not holding brief for anybody,but let's be holistic in telling history. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Rich4god: Are you really saying a child can consent to such a major decision over their bodies? How many adult men alone consent to castration, unless there is something wrong with their testicles? 5 Likes |
