Claudia - I think of St. Catherine of Siena during the schism. I pray the Surrender Novena and that helps with anger. (12:04)
Sharron - I am really sick and tired of people complaining about Pope and Trump. People don't understand that the Holy Spirit appoints the Pope. People are attacking the Holy Spirit. (14:06)
Michael - I support and respect your direction and demeanor when it comes to people attacking you. (17:14)
Israel - I want to respond to the guy upset about the Pope. This is no way to live. Life is short and we need peace. (21:45)
Rick - What would the Pope suggest that we do in Iran? We can't negotiate with them in good faith? There is no answer. (27:08)
Keep going
Linda - I wish the Pope would go to talk to the leaders in Iran. Why isn't he talking to them and not just to us. (39:14)
Manuel - If I want to be a priest, what should I do? (44:51)
Laura - Can someone get last rites up to three hours after the person dies? (49:06)

Kathy - Is it right for the priest to peak around the screen in Confession? (09:20)
Jay - The Catholic population has been declining. It seems like the Holy Father has a flawed set of priorities with his visits. Do you have any thoughts about this and why he would visit Muslim countries instead of Europe? (15:59)
George - I disagree with you about the Pope and his alignment with globalists and democrats (24:04)
Eliazer - I hope we can approach both the President and the Pope with the right perspective. As Catholics, the Pope represents us and he is doing what he needs to do. Also, the President is our president. I see both as important. (30:17)
Vinnie - Nobody ever got to heaven by bad mouthing the Pope (39:16)
Mary - In response to guy who disagrees with you, best thing we can do is fast and pray and change sin in our life. (43:13)
Anna - My daughter is doing a paper on the Secretariat on Atheism in the Vatican in the 1930s. Was there an alliance with the fascists and the Vatican? Do you know anything about this? (48:50)

Patrick plunges into complex questions on faith, authority, and the Church’s handling of Scripture canon, correcting misconceptions about hidden biblical texts. He fields callers fired up over papal political comments and the friction between personal conviction and Catholic teaching, weaving listener stories of confusion and frustration about practices like Friday abstinence, lay blessings, and trust in leadership. Throughout the stream of discussion, Patrick keeps unwavering focus on charity, unity, and the core essentials of faith while urging prayer, not polemics.

 
Mary (email) - My nephew is in prison and is struggling with his faith (00:56)
Dan - Good job with all the calls you took about Pope Leo and Trump. I support what you said. (09:22)
Chinto - I dropped my son off at school and I blessed him, but then the teacher asked if she could get a blessing from me. Can I give her a blessing? (11:39)
Jamie - I don't understand the issue with Pope Leo's words. As the Vicar of Christ, he has to have the stance against war. Where does the desire for the pope to advocate war come from? (15:39)
Chad - Pope and Trump: If you look at this through a biblical lens, it is what Jesus went through with the government in His time. (24:27)
John - What do the US Bishops say about what to do on Fridays when we’re not in Lent? (26:32)
Jim – The three previous Popes before Leo said that the United Nations was the only hope for peace. That shows the church as having a tendency to look to government to help bring peace. (28:45)
Steven - When God Himself was getting Moses out of Egypt, He destroyed the Pharoh’s army. So how can the Pope say that War is bad? (41:12)
