Today’s episode is a candid exploration of the Catholic Church’s teachings on reproductive technologies. We confront common misconceptions, such as the belief that the Church wants women to have as many children as possible and therefore supports IVF, or that the Church, led by men, cannot empathize with women facing infertility.
We delve into the Church’s actual stance, advocating for responsible parenthood and natural birth spacing. We discuss why the Church opposes IVF, not just for the sake of women but also for the potential children, emphasizing that while every child has inherent dignity, not all conception methods are morally equal.
Join me as we dissect how IVF violates the dignity of the child, the woman, and the sanctity of marriage. We also reveal a lesser-known, ethical, and natural solution to infertility that aligns with the Church’s teachings.
Tune in to Brave New Us for an enlightening discussion that dispels myths and sheds light on the Church’s compassionate approach to complex issues.
