Father John LoCoco joins Patrick to discuss Modern Idols

  • What is an idol?
  • (6:41) How can we identify we are placing out trust in something other than God?
  • How is materialism one of the greatest idols against God.
  • (15:09) Phyllis - I'm battling modern idols right now. Feeling secure when I don't have enough funds in my account. Money. Found myself not trusting God.
  • Patty - For years I've been considering spending a lot of time with sacramental. I love them because they have Mother Mary and Jesus. Talked to a religious sister about it. Wondering if I'm committing idolatry.

(22:04) Break 2

  • Are there other passages that talk about idolatry
  • (26:12) Butch - Is playing things like board games with family members an idol if it's done excessively...like every night? Could that be considered an idol?
  • Janet - Coming to realization after 30 years of marriage that I think I idolize the outcome of my children's lives. I'm watching some ugly journeys. Is that a form of idolatry?
  • (33:28) Idolatry in relationships?

(37:16) Break 2

  • How do you talk with family who are committing idolatry?
  • (42:40) What is the difference between Addiction and Idolatry
