The Catholic Church Teaching, IVF, and Lived Experience | Peter Colosi on the Dr. J Show ep. 266

The Ruth Institute Podcast

Peter Colosi discusses his academic background in philosophy and the importance of lived experience in understanding Catholic sexual morality. He emphasizes the need for clarity in church teachings, particularly in light of contemporary challenges and ecclesial politics. Colosi explores the moral implications of IVF, the dignity of every human being, and the psychological impact of artificial reproduction on families. He advocates for a return to natural conception and restorative fertility medicine as alternatives to IVF, highlighting the church's teachings on human relationships and the sanctity of life. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities and moral implications of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and related reproductive technologies. They discuss the process of IVF, the emotional and ethical dilemmas faced by individuals undergoing the procedure, and the role of the church in providing guidance. The conversation highlights the contradictions within the IVF industry, the impact of donor conception on identity, and the potential societal consequences of embracing such technologies. The speakers emphasize the importance of family bonds and the need for healing in a world increasingly reliant on reproductive technology.
