Protesters disrupting church services spark a blunt, energetic discussion as Patrick weighs security, lawful protest, and the reactions of everyday parishioners, folding in caller stories, law references, and a dose of indignation over the unraveling peace inside places of worship.

 
Patrick continues his conversation with Jenny from the end of the last hour. Her husband passed away recently, and she suffers from guilt and anxiety. (00:48)
Charles (12-years-old) - If Peter was married, then how did he become the Pope? (08:00)
John - If a protest comes into our Church, what should we do? (19:23)
Margaret - When people come into your Church, they are taking attention off God and that is evil. (37:10)
Sharon - Our parish has armed people at all masses. The people protesting won’t stop doing this until they aren't paid anymore. (41:33)
Dana - It is the policies and ideology of Stephen Miller that are fueling these protests. You need to hear the other side.  (45:14)

He weighs justice against mercy, weighs personal responsibility for safety with the call to peace, and refuses to skirt the tension between Catholic teaching and party platforms.

 
German (email) - Immigration, Minnesota, and Our Bishops (00:35)
George – I’m opposed to weapons in church. (08:20)
Mark - I am defending the Trump administration. They knew that this would blow up. If people don't realize that they are naive.  (16:18)
Patsy - I am calling in regard to what you all are saying. I don't think God would order anyone to shoot to kill. I don't think supporting Trump is right. (21:09)
Nick - We have the March for Life coming up and we can show the world what a peaceful protest is like. (26:59)
Joe - Can you be a Catholic in good standing and vote for Democrats who support abortion, transgender and other things contrary to the Catholic faith? (30:14)
Audio: President Clinton and President Obama – “we are a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws” (37:52)
Sarah - I am disappointed in you for not answering this guy's question. You can't be a Democrat and Catholic at same time if you want to be true to faith. (41:19)
Will - People keep telling you that you don’t let you talk when they come up with 6-8 different things! I think Patsy is an agitator. Going after Patrick like protestors going after ICE agents. (46:17)
Tammy - Religious freedom is important when it comes to being prolife. (49:02)
