Listen "Talking Infertility With a Married Eastern CATHOLIC Priest, Fr. Paul West"
Episode Synopsis
Fr. Paul West, spiritual father for Springs in the Desert, joined me to talk about infertility and how isolating it can feel in the Catholic Church. He has been married since 2009 and became a priest in 2020, and he and his wife have experienced both primary and secondary infertility, so he knows firsthand how difficult it can be.He took me through a fascinating journey through Genesis to explain how the call "to be fruitful and multiply" is often misinterpreted and why the first conception didn't happen for Adam and Eve until AFTER the fall [mind blown]. I hope you enjoy this very special episode!Find Fr. Paul here: You Tube Building Athos in Our Hearts Instagram Building Athos
