In my recent interview with Jim O'Day, I decided to broach the sensitive subject of celibacy in Catholic priests. I asked him if he thought celibacy was leading to the abuses we have seen in the church, and to my surprise, he said it was likely. In this episode, I discuss why and how to celebrate our God-given sexuality in a healthy way, and consider how to navigate these tricky topics faithfully.

 In this episode, I discuss:
