1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 What if the calling inside you never went away because it was never meant to? For French Irish spiritual director Soline Humbert, the answer has always been no. At just 19 years old, she felt a clear, undeniable call to priesthood in the Catholic Church. The problem? She had been taught that only men could be called. No internet. No mentors. No permission. Just a voice that would not be silenced. In this episode of Your Radical Truth, Soline shares the fifty-year journey of living with a vocation the Church refuses to recognize. This is a story of courage that outlasts rejection, faith that survives institutional resistance, and a woman who chose truth even when it came at a cost. Soline is a longtime advocate for equality in the Catholic Church. She co-founded Brothers and Sisters in Christ, now part of We Are Church Ireland, and served as spokesperson for the first international conference on women’s ordination in Dublin. Her memoir, A Divine Calling, launched at Trinity College Dublin with a foreword by former Irish president Mary McAleese. You will hear: • What it feels like to carry a calling the institution denies • Why studying women’s vocations without listening to women causes real harm • How clericalism turns leadership into power instead of service • Why the exclusion of women functions as spiritual and psychological abuse • The moment Soline presided at Eucharist for the first time and knew she was exactly where she was meant to be This is not just a conversation about women and priesthood. It is about what happens when institutions refuse to listen to lived truth. It is about the cost of silence. And it is about the freedom that comes when one person finally says yes to what they know is real. If you have ever ignored your own calling because someone told you it was impossible, this episode will change the way you see everything.
