Zusammenfassung:This text seeks to explore the issue of the relationship between some normative elements of the Catholic religious tradition and the conditions of possibility to exercise sexuality and reproduction rights, from an explicit reference to the categories of negligence and omission, in part because human rights can be violated for both reasons, but at the same time because Catholic rituals in their discourse give prominence to omission as part of the faults that every person must recognize. It would be worth reflecting on whether there are omissions among Catholic people around the space of sexuality and reproduction that can be associated with their reading of institutional norms, but at the same time negligence is usually attributed to authorities of institutions that do not fulfill a responsibility which corresponds to them. In this sense, an additional step consists in problematizing whether the hierarchy of the institution can even omit or manipulate the normative discourse of the tradition which they represent, either through prejudice or ignorance, or through intentional search to maintain a system and social order in issues of sexuality and reproduction. This could happen perhaps due to gender learning of its members, or other motivations and interests--conscious or not--that would be worth analyzing and documenting. It details elements underlying these rights and then contrasts them with the values that are justified from the Catholic tradition, such as freedom of conscience and, on the counterpart, the interpretation made by the hierarchs and the official documents of the institution, as canon law. These interpretations do not coincide and the hypothesis of this article is that there is a possibility that the sense of the original discourse is being manipulated and therefore incurring in omissions and negligence. The elimination of these elements could contribute to a more comprehensive exercise of the rights of both believers and those who are socially influenced by the power this institution has in the regulations of different social institutions.Keywords: neglect; omission; sexuality; reproduction; Catholic tradition.En este texto se busca explorar el tema de la relacion entre algunos elementos normativos de la tradicion religiosa catolica y las condiciones de posibilidad para ejercer derechos de sexualidad y reproduccion, desde una referencia explicita a las categorias de negligencia y omision, en parte porque los derechos humanos pueden violentar
