Patrick responds to an email about how to give a truthful confession without being crass or scandalous
Judy - A young mother with 4 children has a husband who became associated with Society of Saint Pius the 5th. Does she need to join him?
Philip - I was told to not talk about religion and my beliefs or I'll get fired. Is it okay for me to agree to this?
Kate - There is a man who likes to stand while we should be kneeling at Mass. How should I address this? Is it okay to sit if you can't kneel?
Mike – How to have “the talk” with your kids?
Melba - On some instructions for how to say the rosary they left out the Our Father. Is that a way of saying the Rosary?
Cade - Christine Watkins book 'the Warning': Have you heard of this book and what are your thoughts on my mom getting into it?

Patrick kicks off a pledge drive hour where faith, generosity, and humor mingle with listener stories about struggling with good intentions, unexpected turns, and practical Catholic living. He wrestles with issues of wealth, apologist pitfalls, road-trip mishaps, technology’s surprises, and why generosity matters for the mission—all while inviting his audience into the urgency and sincerity of keeping Relevant Radio alive. Sudden confessions, calls, and affirmations ripple through the hour, setting a tone equally grounded and unpredictable.

 
Jim (email) – If I’m on the Road to Perdition, should I “keep going”? (01:32)
Christian (email) - What are the blessings and challenges of a Catholic Apologist?
Michael - Thoughts on the proper disposition of a Catholic towards money or wealth? Can't we do good by prudent financial planning and donating? (13:16)
Anthony - My back surgery went great! I had no rods, pins, or hardware. New technology of back surgery is incredible. (18:02)
Matt (email) - Why can validly ordained priests (such as those of the SSPX) validly celebrate most sacraments even when doing so illicitly, but cannot validly administer Confirmation or Confession—even when they use the correct form and matter?
Jessica - Turns out that my daughter is not doing that great with her cellphone. Even if you think parental controls are working, they find their way around it. (46:59)

Caroline - It is not just the children who are

Harold - I called years ago about advice on my

Tony - How does prayer work? 

Patrick opens the hour fielding challenging questions from listeners about SSPX sacraments, blessings for couples in irregular situations, and the Catholic perspective on organ donation, moving seamlessly from theological nuance to personal dilemmas, including a story of an AI scam targeting the elderly that disrupts a family. Unexpected calls about faith, loss, grief, the authority of parents, and the meaning of obedience push the conversation well beyond surface-level advice, while Patrick threads in gratitude for supporters and stories of everyday miracles. Candid, sometimes raw, the hour pulses with the messiness, hope, and complexity of real Catholic life.

 
Chandler (email) - Regarding Rome's claim that SSPX marriages and confessions are no longer valid. How can the Pope do this when the eastern orthodox have been around 1000 years, and the church recognizes all their sacraments as valid? (01:48)
Juanita (email) - I recently read an article with this heading: “Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo receives Fiducia Supplicans-style blessing after civil marriage”. Am I correct, despite this “blessing” this 10-years-in-the-making marriage remains an invalid marriage (because they are both “Catholic” but chose only a civil ceremony with no mention of an actual Sacrament of Marriage in a Catholic church)?
Kelly (email) – Question about cremation
Caroline - It is not just the children who are being attacked by AI, it’s also the elderly. My mother was scammed on her device and asked for personal details. (27:29)
Harold - I called years ago about advice on my deaconate formation to continue on. Thank you for giving me the advice you gave! (39:13)
Tony - How does prayer work? (44:06)
