Episode Details

At a recent Catholic annual meeting attended by multiple bishops, a priest made waves by claiming that masturbation can be a “moment of prayer” — a way to thank God for the gift of sexuality. In this episode, I break down exactly what he said, examine the reactions from clergy and attendees, and discuss how these remarks compare with official Catholic teaching. Join me as we explore one of the most controversial statements to come out of the Church this year — and what it really means for Catholic doctrine, morality, and the conversation around sexuality in the clergy.
