For Pope Palpatine

This week you came out against fertility treatments and all pregnancies that involve ANYTHING other than direct conception.   This pronouncement raises MANY questions since the reality that such treatments have had viable successes consequently raises questions about their effect on Catholic dogma...

I have to ask:  what is the religious status of all CHILDREN who ARE the product of fertility treatments, or surrogate pregnancies?

Are they human?   If "natural" consummation within marriage is the ONLY way to have children in the eyes of the Church, aren't you implying that the product of any other process are abominations?   Does your rhetoric concerning the sanctity of life apply to them or only to "real" babies?

Are they eligible for salvation?  If they were not produced in the ONLY allowed way,  then are they also outside the minimal conditions for being welcomed into the Church?   If not - where is the dividing line?   Given that DNA splicing has already become a nascent field, you are rapidly reaching the point where fetuses might become the product of more than one source of DNA (in order to avoid horrible life-threatening diseases like Tay-Sachs).   Under what exception would the Church allow those fetuses salvation if they - by your own definition - not permissible pregnancies?

After birth, should they damn their parents as sinners?   How should other family members react to their existence?  

Where do Caesarian sections fit into this ruling?   After all that's not a natural method of delivery and technically would be contrary to God's plan - under the rhetoric used against interfering with pregnancies in the case of abortion, shouldn't the Church ALSO be taking a strong stance against methods of delivery that are similarly "not natural" leaving the mother/child subject to God's will even if the delivery might endanger the life of either or both?   Presumably one could argue that God was "claiming" them then, and interfering with the death is a violation of God's plan.   If INSTANTIATING life is "science playing God" aren't Caesarian birth likewise "science playing God"?   If not - where is the dividing line whereupon medicine is no longer allowed to interfere?

If children borne of artificial means in turn have children - even by completely "traditional" methods - are those children also tainted with incompleteness owing to their unholy DNA?   How many generations are required before they are permitted salvation?

If someone has in-vitro fertilization and then regrets it owing to their religious beliefs, is abortion of the non-natural fetus permitted since it is actually not the product of Church-permitted conception?

For that matter - if someone who is technically virgin is implanted with fertilized eggs without causing subsequent anatomical loss of virginity, are the products of such a "virgin birth"?   How does that impact other Catholic canon?
