Patrick unpacks the latest diocesan policies on Catholic funerals (eulogies and Church guidance around cremation) while fielding listener questions that wander from Aztec dancers at Mass to deep mysteries of the Trinity and what it means to be a child of God. He shifts from theology to pressing cultural flashpoints, dissecting caller concerns about salvation, the boundaries of Sunday obligation for the homebound, and the disorienting aftermath of pandemic mandates. In the swirl of doctrine, tradition, and current events, Patrick weaves clarity, candor, and unexpected connections.

• Bill - Confirmation on once saved always saved: We can take ourselves away from God. If we stay in a state of sin, can we remain that way and lose soul? (23:06)
