I'm trying to find the Catholic Church's stance on eugenics and the promotion of eugenicist policy. I'm wondering how disabled Catholics are included in the life of the Church. Does anyone know where I can learn more about the Church and eugenics in general, and it's stance on marriage equality for disabled people specifically?

I also am wondering how the Church and disability might overlap with the philosophy and historic institution of limpieza de sangre, the Casta system, eugenics, and the Inherent Dignity of a Human Person. In my search for answers to my initial question I found these other possibly related threads. Do you know where I can find primary documents regarding these as well?

And don't forget to become a pen pal (through Black & Pink or the Order of Malta); to send books; to amplify the voices and experiences of those behind bars; to send news; to participate in a call-in campaign to curb abuse; keep track of proposed laws and policies in your area; and to raise awareness about the issues.
