Are you able to speak to Womens Aid? This is your body and fertility ultimately is a decision you make and no one else can have a say in it.

I'm not catholic but also raised in a religion where abortions are very much a big no unless there is an immediate risk to the mother or the child would not have quality of life (eg severe health issues that would impact living) so I can empathise. I've had to keep mine secret from everyone apart from my partner who's thankfully been supportive.

Please get in touch with Womens Aid who will signpost you to some support groups you don't need to call, they have a web chat function so it can be very discreet. You should be able to terminate safely if you need to. They might not be able to organise an abortion (your GP, or places like MSI can do that) but they will provide information on how to get support and help from partners like this. No partner should stop you from making an important decision like this..

Mommyfive, are you getting any kind of assistance with your disabled child? Just thought I'd ask if you are not getting any aid or help. www.gov.uk/help-for-disabled-child

This is your decision.
He cannot be catholic and divorce you, sounds like he is picking and choosing bits of a religion to suit his own purpose.
