Patrick explores Catholic questions about Bible translations, the validity of non-Catholic baptisms, and Mass customs like kneeling and standing, all while engaging callers in real-time on sensitive topics from confession to Communion. He weaves listener stories and personal anecdotes into honest conversations about faith, sacramental traditions, and even the social pressures within church communities.

 
Peggy (email) - At a Lutheran baptism, the pastor said "you are" baptized in the name of the Father. I think that the Lutheran form is supposed to be the same as Catholic. So, is that not valid, and can it be valid in an 'emergency' situation so that I can just baptize the baby myself to make it valid? (01:54)
Laura in El Paso, TX - During mass, should I kneel after the Our Father? (04:51)
Laura in Napa, CA - I teach at a school where we do TLM twice a month. Our students get confused by this. How can I explain what to do? (15:33)
Michael (email) - Is it possible St. Peter’s wife was dead by the time Jesus called him?
Buddy - Why does my local priest omit the Alleluia chorus, but on Sunday he doesn’t say it before the Gospel? Is this normal? (27:23)
Andriana (email) – Is it a sin for Catholics to argue? (30:31)
Anna - I have been a music minister for 60 years. Alleluia is to be sung. If it is not sung, it is permitted to omit it. (34:59)
Jenny - I think you should go up for a blessing during Holy Communion. (42:42)
