What is the Catholic Church's precise view on cloning? Could you provide me with some good sites with this information?

The Catholic Church has the highest regard for human life and human dignity from the beginning of life at conception until natural death.
Human cloning, that is the creation of a human embryo through scientific means, does injury to the dignity of humanity. Will these children be brought up in loving families or treated as laboratory experiments or sources for spare parts?
Every human being is entitled to human rights including cloned human embryos. If created, they should be treated with the same rights and respect of any other human being as a child of God.
The Catholic Church is not just against cloning, it is pro-life in the widest sense. This is often called a "Consistent Ethic of Life."
This pro-life stance stresses the highest regard for dignity of human life including that of:
- All people in objecting to unjust war and nuclear arms.
- The unborn in objecting to to abortion, in fitro fertilization, frozen embryos, embryonic stem cell research, and cloning
- The elderly, sick and dying in objecting to assisted suicide and euthanazia
- Prisoners in objecting to the death penalty
- The poor and minorities in supporting social justice issues.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 2270 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt2art5.htm#2270

the Catholic Church totally condoms this activity yet their are many governments that practice it behind the scenes in secret. they will never get anywhere for it is the spirit of god that gives life and no other. they will understand this the more they press on with their attempts.

Once it becomes possible to clone "catholics" the church will embrace it. Anything that brings more revenue into the coffers....

All women are evil and all priests legally married to women are evil. All those who read any Bibles printed in English go to hell. Child crime/child abuse is good.

It's a sin until you pay. Then it's okay.
