Ask Christopher West - A podcast by Theology of the Body Institute - Mondays

Questions answered this episode: I’m a 40 year old husband and father. I grew up in a family dynamic where porn and masturbation was normal. I quitted porn after 7 years of marriage but now I’m really struggling with intrusive thoughts. Do you have any advice? I recently heard that circumcision is mutilation. Should I confess this? I’m a mid-wife accompanying a couple that’s pregnant with a child that possibly won’t be born alive; they long for their daughter to be baptized. Can you explain baptism of desire?
