Straight forward: Is foreskin restoration a bad thing or against the Church?(if you don’t know what it is, then google it.)
Is being uncircumcised against the church?

I don’t think the Church teaches one way or the other. Circumcision has mistakenly been said to be a Catholic practice but the Church is actually neutral on it, I think.

I wouldn’t advise a restoration.

The Church has at times made it a mortal sin to circumcise because of the issue that it may cause someone to believe it is necessary for salvation, which it is not.

Historically, the attitude towards it has been extremely negative. In the United States in the 20th Century, for some weird reason, we like it.

There’s no reason to do it. Whatsoever. God doesn’t demand we cut off half the nerves on our penis anymore. So don’t. And if it has been done, it’s a defect, and foreskin restoration is an attempt to partially fix that defect. So it’s a perfectly moral procedure to have done.

Don’t feel too bad, though. God has the same type of genital mutilation that you do.
