Father John LoCoco joins Deacon Patrick Conley to discuss Purity: Lessons from St. Maria Goretti
Story of St Maria Goretti.
(5:44) Why is St Maria Goretti so important to our lives today?
(13:25) Jerry - I am an attorney. Had a young lady come to me asking for a name change so she could no longer be tailed by the guy who was violating her. The name she chose was Maria Goretti. We got her name change 6 years ago on the feast of Maria Goretti. Thought it would be interesting given what you're talking about today.
Difference between Purity and Chastity

(21:01) Break 1
(22:40) Donna - When Maria Goretti was murdered. Locals were mad at him. When Maria appeared to him in prison, he eventually repented. He took care of her mother. He would have probably been in hell, but repented and was forgiven. Important to keep in mind with capital punishment.
(32:23) Email from LJ – How can we bring back our daughter to come back to the faith?
(35:18) email from Connie – I find that having more time alone was really helpful to bring my husband and I together first.

(38:17) Break 2
How does Lust lead to anger?
(45:56) Sonya Maria - How do you convince a mother-in-law that pornography...just looking at it...is wrong?
(48:17) Custody of the eyes.

Dave - Patriotism and the convention of states

Tony - I'm a retired engineer. Worked on radar

Father Peter Pomposello joins to discuss Catholic patriotism.

 
Theresa - I've designed a crystal red, white and blue rosary. How do I go about giving this to our military veterans?

 
Nick - We have to distinguish ourselves as Catholics before we're Americans. God comes first. Everything belongs to God. Look at the precepts of church.

 
Break 1

 
More comments on Catholic patriotism

 
Walter - It goes straight to the gospel. In John, he says the light of God is the life of man. God is guaranteed to give light. Evangelizing. It takes faith.

 
Break 2

 
Dave - Patriotism and the Convention of State. We the people would propose amendments to the constitution. This has never been used. Educating people about this and getting involved by petitioning state legislators is essential. I think this is part of the Catholic cause.

 
Tony - I'm a retired engineer who worked on radar and missile systems. I have had my doubts because I didn't want to work on weapons that kill. Glad to be part of it and in service to our country.
