Many people are blissfully unaware of just how many things can go wrong in pregnancy. For example, the 9 month pregnancy is an average that is based on members of the European race. Africans have somewhat shorter ones, and Asians have somewhat longer ones. All of the races in the world are naturally fit to be compatible with their own environment, culture, and language. When people of different races reproduce, however, this greatly increases the chances of problems. The statistics for this have been repressed due to the anti-racist agenda of today. Therefore, I can’t provide you with too many helpful statistics and information (I do have some though), but it just seems to be common sense to say that interracial reproduction is unnatural. This becomes especially relevant to Catholic morality because it also significantly increases the rate of miscarriage, especially with regards to pregnancy terminations before 1 month of age wherein the mother may not know that it happened. Indeed, due to how hard it is to make a baby in the first place, it could be the case that many infants from interracial couples will die at a very young age. Catholicism teaches that conception begins at life, and so these infants would not be able to go to Heaven. Some have tried to convince us that if we pray for them enough, then they will be able to be saved, but that seems to be a modernist tendency that has spread to some traditionalist circles as well (see, for example, the SSPX’s video on the subject of whether or not an unbaptized baby can go to Heaven.) Occasionally, the parents will overcome the odds, but that’s only a possibility. Should we gamble with our children’s lives, or even their own salvation sometimes? It’s also worth noting that certain genetic conditions have been linked to criminal and immoral behaviors; this is especially true of people who are of African descent.
Of course, the modern Catholic Church, as well as all of the major traditionalist organizations, don’t really do anything about this. The SSPX even went so far as to debunk the claim that race matters in any way. There are intended to be four of these articles, and two of them have already been published in 2025 (search “Catholicism and race” in the SSPX website to find them).
It doesn’t stop at racemixing, of course. Should people with Down Syndrome be allowed to marry without a very grave reason to do so? What about Huntington’s disease? Or what if a dwarf tries to have a baby with a tall man? Obesity increases risks as well. For example, one time at my SSPX chapel in St. Paul, Minnesota, I saw a black man with a very obese woman who had a few mulatto children. There are some races that can’t even reproduce outside of their own group (such as Pygmies.) Of course, this is denied nowadays by the scientific community. Even with regards to inbreeding, things become strange and complex - on the one hand, certain races like the Icelandic are much more immune to the harmful results of inbreeding, but it seems that dispensations were given for royalty to marry even their uncles sometimes. Check out this thing I found in “My Catholic Faith” published in the early 50’s (apparently, there had been a Novus Ordo change sneaked into this book once, but I don’t know about the rest of the book - I had discussed this before on CathInfo if you search for “is this affinity chart true?” which is on the “Catholics living in the modern world” section):

These issues are so controversial and so complex, that I can’t really provide a solution to the problems outlined here until I become a priest and gain the sufficient knowledge to answer these issues. I already have some conclusions on these matters, but I will refrain from speaking about them here.

You’re talking eugenics?

You’re talking eugenics? :fryingpan:I

So what? Eugenics is a meaningless buzzword oftentimes. There is nothing that the Liberals of today promote more than racemixing and a disregard for genetic health. You can read the Catholic Encyclopedia's article on eugenics. The Church does not necessarily condemn it. I have read that relevant part of Casti Connubi where it says that people who wish to forbid people, who, otherwise being wholly fit for marriage, on the grounds that they can only produce offspring that are defective based upon their own conjectures, lose sight of the realization that the family is more sacred than the state and that they are being overzealous for the cause of eugenics. However, it should be noted that this was said in 1930, and applied more specifically to public rulers. Also, Pope Pius XI condemned L'action Francaise and abandoned the Cristeros in Mexico. Thus, he is below the threshold of being a particularly great pope. These things do indeed have moral consequences, and must not be dismissed as "eugenics" since this is not an argument. So, if we can be certain beyond a reason of a doubt that there will be a miscarriage or severe impairments, then what is the point? I genuinely want to know. Are there any sophisticated arguments in favor of this?

Interracial marriage should be discouraged in general for the reasons you mentioned and some others you didn't mention (like the identity issues it causes the children-- even if they're biologically healthy). But to call it unnatural in a global environment is an overstatement. Catholic explorers rather regularly intermarried with indigenous peoples and did so without the criticism of the Church.

I would say that race mixing attacks the common good.
