Patricia

Vince

Fr. Ramil Fajardo joins Patrick to discuss Annulments
(4:11) what is marriage in the Catholic Church?
(11:01) what is a declaration of nullity?
(19:29) Patricia - A lot of young couples getting married by someone on the internet who has the capability to marry them. When this is considered out of the church, can they get it blessed in the church and is it a validated marriage?

(28:11) Break 1
(30:40) Lisa - A couple of people I know left marriage after 22 years due to abuse. She left for 3 years and he never got counseling. 3 priests told her to stay in that marriage, but there was a lot of abuse. Is that God's call to go back to a marriage that's abusive?

(38:06) Break 2
George - Regarding defender of the bond. Does not contact the defendant regarding a response to a petitioner. The comments/scenario given by the petitioner is not accurate with these particular problems in it. Defendant should be given the opportunity to respond to the petitioner. It will not be done according to canon law.
(42:51) Vince - My fiancé and I are trying to get married. Her husband passed. My wife I married 30 years ago is still alive. She became catholic through RCIA. We're told we can't because my divorce has to be annulled. What do we do?

Fr. Matthew Spencer joins Patrick to discuss A Happy Death
Father Spencer gives an update on the dramatic event that happened in his life?
(12:47) how are the sacraments  instrumental in a happy death?
(19:55) Paul - My father had a happy death. He had a great life, and died well. He gave everything to God all the way to the end which was remarkable. You can say a lot during life and live a lot, but if you're faith is there, and still strong, it represents a good and happy death.

(25:22) Break 1
What do you do about the fear of pain of death?
(33:18) Sal - How we live a good life and have the thought of purgatory. It's kind of confusing. You lead a good life and do the right things and then there's that possibility. Can you explain?
(37:24) Lisa - Anointing of the sick and apostolic pardon. Mother is 93 and in memory care. We did both of those earlier this year. How often can you have that done before death?

(42:52) Break 2
Steven - Father and his death. Not close growing up. When he died, he never seemed to have peace. I went into see him. He had a peace on his face. After the funeral, I found out dad was one of 12 kids and his dad was an alcoholic who took abuse from his father. God gives you peace in death and he had it.
(49:09) what are some prayers from Saint Joseph for a Happy Death?
