Patrick answers questions from listeners about matters of faith, church rules, and the hard edges of daily morality. Calls about sweat lodges, unmarried couples living together, and how to handle occult items take the spotlight, while a debate about supporting war brings intensity. He jumps between quick-fire exchanges on happiness versus pleasure, sharing honest advice and disarming candor, all while keeping a sharp Catholic perspective.

 
Brendan - Can I go to a Native American ceremony? (00:43)
Michael (email) – Comment about the feud between President Trump and Pope Leo (04:11)
Irene - Why is it okay for gay couples to live as brother and sister but not okay for a couple in their 80s to live together? (07:29)
John - Every time you talk about sexuality it seems that the gays always get picked on but I don't hear anything about masturbation. Doesn't the Church teach that this is just as serious a sin? (24:10)
Nick - Why doesn’t anyone talk about who is dying in the Ukraine and Russia war? Why aren’t the white Christian men being killed in this war being talked about? (29:10)
Tim (email) - Please reflect on the difference between happiness and joy
Eric - Should I get rid of the tarot deck that my friend gave me? He is deceased and it is like a memento for me. (39:27)

Patrick welcomes listeners to conversations that crack open faith questions and lived Catholic experience, sometimes with gentle humor and sometimes with unapologetic candor. He answers questions about happiness, the meaning of friendship with Jesus, and ethical dilemmas like embryo adoption, pausing to encourage those returning to the Church or wrestling with doubts. Calls about family, modesty, traditions, and the value of resources on science and faith create a live mosaic of real Catholic life—messy, searching, honest.

 
Hillary (email) – The whole "God wants us to be happy" thing (00:29)
Frank - I think sin does hurt God. (03:10)
Mary - I think large families are very beneficial. My grandparents had 12 children. They helped take care of me after my mom died. (13:29)
Kevin - Modesty works both ways with men and causing others to fall into sin. (14:37)
Sheila - What is the difference between embryo adoption and carrying it to term and adopting a child outside of the womb? (18:19)

Donna - A stranger wanted to hold my hand during mass and I declined. She was upset. Can you help me? (27:02)
Bob - I am a returning Catholic, and my penance was to go to Mass on 7 consecutive Sundays. Is this valid? (32:35)
Susan - Any articles or books that you recommend on science and faith? My daughter's ex-boyfriend told her that 'he believes in science' (38:52)
Dave - My friend is a widow and goes to a meeting presided over by a man who talks about using an end-of-life drug. How do we as a society prevent someone from holding these meetings? (40:54)
Leo - Where is the line between friendship and servant? (43:47)

Patrick welcomes listeners into discussions sparked by tough questions on ethics, from the morality of tax write-offs to shopping at pharmacies that sell abortion pills. He responds to callers about everything from investing with Catholic values to questions about Communion posture and the purpose of prayer, all while pointing out real resources for those struggling with divorce or weighing homeschooling. Each exchange feels direct, sometimes surprising, as Patrick links the big questions of faith to what actually fills people’s days.

 
Mark (email) – Writing off an expense (01:08)
Michael - CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid distributed the abortion pill. What are Catholics' obligations who work or shop there? (03:42)
Jacob - Is there any easy way to figure out which Eucharistic prayer is being prayed? (13:30)
Email – Why pray at all if, as you say, God exists outside of time? (18:16)

Email question about home schooling (31:28)
Nathaniel - Our Bishop told us we couldn't have kneelers at the front of the church. (37:51)
