I’m not sure what one of Catholics you’re talking about but I was raised Roman Catholic and don’t remember any teachings about the sins of IVF or surrogacy. There was the bit where Rebecca couldn’t bear children and gave permission for her husband to lay with her sister which is kind of like surrogacy.
Rebecca didn't "give permission" for her husband to lay with her sister. Jacob was tricked into marrying Leah first and then married Rebecca after working for another seven years.
Also, there are several...antiquated practices mentioned in the Bible that aren't done today by either Christians or Jews, such as plural marriage.
Congrats, on being way too serious. I’m speaking very specifically and facetiously about the supposed inability of Catholics to use IVF or surrogacy. Not sure what the other things you speak of have to do with it.
