Infertility Ministry Promotes Spiritual Motherhood While Ignoring the Church’s Teaching on the Primary End of Marriage
The National Catholic Register portal reports on a growing movement within the conciliar sect that seeks to address the suffering of infertile couples by reframing their experience through the lens of “spiritual motherhood” and community support. The article, published on April 20, 2026, profiles Ann Koshute, co-founder of Springs in the Desert, a ministry dedicated to providing resources and community for Catholic couples struggling with infertility. While the article presents the ministry as a compassionate response to a painful reality, a thorough examination from the perspective of integral Catholic faith reveals a troubling pattern of doctrinal omission, theological ambiguity, and a subtle but profound shift away from the Church’s unchanging teaching on marriage, fruitfulness, and the nature of suffering.
