QUESTION: Does the Catholic Church support the position expressed by the Orthodox Church regarding surrogate motherhood?
ANSWER: As you know, the Russian Orthodox Church expressed its position on surrogate motherhood at a meeting of the Holy Synod in December 2013. Although it is, in fact, about the baptism of infants born of surrogate mothers, the text also sets out a general judgment about this reproductive technology.
