Patrick and Cyrus share some of the emails coming in about the dangers of the trans agenda from listeners who are thankful we are talking about the issue directly and head on
Jamie - I was not practicing Catholic when I got married, now am are but my husband doesn't want to get sacramentally married. What should I do?
Ruben - I was in the same situation as Jamie. We were married 20 years through the civil processes but we will be getting married this Saturday!
Anna - What you talked about regarding Chakras really helped me because I am struggling with pressure to do it.
Theresa – We will no longer be buying Bud beers. Is it unchristian to want a separate economy in the USA for people who want to live with Christian values?
Dusty - God's providence: Do some things happen by chance or coincidence?

Patrick answers questions on guardian angels, prayers for those who left the faith, and whether grace can reach those closed off from it. He responds to lively debates on church customs, biblical mysteries like Lazarus’s age, and the classic rivalry between Tolkien’s epic and C.S. Lewis’s Narnia, letting callers’ passions shape the flow. Music talk, real-life marriage milestones, and concerns for pro-life centers in California thread through spirited exchanges that move from deep Catholic doctrine to the simple joy of a catchy tune.

 
Sheila (email) - Can I ask the guardian angels of my grown children (who have left the faith) to attend Mass and pray for them, and if so, what grace would result and could it still reach and affect them even if they are not open to it? (00:40)
Daniel – Genuflecting (08:14)
Deidra - There are two types of repenting: repenting every day and repenting and be baptized. We need both. (10:35)
John - Do we know how old Lazarus was when Jesus raised him from the dead? (12:46)
Doug – On Friday, the Archbishop of San Francisco wrote a piece about suing the abortion reversal pill (13:58)
Nathaniel - What is better, LOTR or the Chronicles of Narnia? (20:57)
Richard - I read the LOTR books and saw the movies. The movie was a bit of a letdown but I still loved them. The Narnia books fantastic.
Andy - I want to know what is penal substitution and is it something Catholics believe? (34:13)
Dave - For Nathaniel, Narnia Christian themes much more obvious but LOTR themes are deeper, more complex. I think both are excellent. (39:12)
Ronnie - I want to encourage other married people not to give up on their spouse and try to make it better. Divorce is not the answer. (49:15)

Patrick takes listener questions on everything from cremation and relics to the practicalities of annulments and maintaining gratitude within parish life, all while weaving in scriptural roots and clear, approachable Catholic teaching. He answers with straightforward advice for handling marriage complexities, faith discussions with non-Catholic family, and screening media for kids, offering his own reflections as a practicing Catholic. Plentiful encouragement and real-life examples flow throughout, with the conversation shifting swiftly from doctrine to day-to-day encouragement and resources.

 
William (email) - Would the Church have a mass for the deceased if they knew the ashes we not going to be interned but spread out somewhere? (00:59)
Jim (email) - As a resident of Massachusetts and a member of Massachusetts Citizens for Life I want to thank you for standing up for the unborn, especially in light of the recent legislation passed in the Commonwealth. Thank you for speaking so clearly and directly about the barbaric and unthinkable act of ending the life of a fully developed unborn baby. You courageously shed light on the gravity and magnitude these actions have on those perpetrating them including Governor Healey. I pray she listens to your show, but wouldn't count on it. Maybe one day! (02:30)
Angela (email) - Listener responses unfairly implied the woman wanted recognition for her generous gift rather than a simple thank-you for an act of kindness, a courtesy priests should model and that I, too, have been denied.
Miriam (email) - 1. I believe you've previously said that there will be food in heaven. But will we get hungry? I assume we won't, but if we don't, will the food taste as good to us as it would if we were ravenous?  2. Christ was a Jew. But at any point in time did He become a Christian? And if so, when? And if not, why not?
Rodney - What Scripture supports spreading saints body parts around as relics? (11:46)
Antoinette - They are building a Mormon Church adjacent to my backyard. Can I put a Relevant Radio banner on my fence. Would this be a good idea? (19:37)
Margie - I was married in the Church, got divorced and did not get an annulment. My second husband passed. Priest said I didn't need annulment. Is this true? (23:50)
Tom - My wife was married outside of the Church. Do we need an annulment? (26:52)
Kevin (email) – What is a good resource for screening kids’ books through a Catholic lens? (38:23)
Molly - Can we pray the Rosary and make our own mysteries up? Is that a sin? (41:46)
Lucas - I went through the annulment process last year and wanted to encourage people that it is worth it. (43:41)

Patrick moves through questions of faith, morality, and the unsettling intersections of Catholic tradition and modern confusion—grappling with everything from Islamic symbols on Catholic gravestones to the troubling logistics of in vitro fertilization and the subtle manipulation wafting through social media campaigns against data centers. He considers the uneasy presence of convicted criminals on parish grounds and peels away the surface of everyday choices, whether in entertainment or in regular Confession, tracing each back to conscience and personal responsibility. Quietly, beneath it all, Patrick threads a sense of urgency: stay awake, stay honest, keep questioning even when comfort tempts retreat.

 
Mary (email) - A headstone appeared next to my brothers in a Catholic cemetery with the Islam symbol of a crescent moon and star and no images representing Christianity. (00:35)
Jeff - My family is very pro-Catholic, but they don’t understand why Catholicism is against invitro fertilization (IVF). How can I explain this to them? (03:55)
Earl (email) – We have a pedophile that had recently been released from prison living on church grounds. (12:04)

Kate - Why is it necessary to go to Monthly or weekly Confession? (31:45)
Mary - The Data Centers create a lot of light pollution and take from farmland. (36:21)
Kiwi (email) - The Ron Swanson frozen yogurt audio reminded me of a question I have for you. I love the show Parks and Rec, but there were a couple of episodes where they mocked God/Christianity. Since then, I feel guilty whenever I watch the show. Am I being too scrupulous about it, or are we in general supposed to avoid shows, or any entertainment material for that matter, at one point mocked God. (39:46)
Catherine - Pride is a capital sin and is far worse than a venial sin. You are wrong. (44:54)_
Elli (email) - If a person who committed murder is found not guilty by reason of insanity, where does he/she go at end of life?
