Patrick fields questions on everything from distinctions between mortal and venial sin to the practical fears and joys of raising a large Catholic family, weaving scriptural references and personal anecdotes throughout. Deep sincerity and humor mix as Patrick responds to commentary about Catholic Bible translations, rituals at Mass, the role of priests—even when they're in mortal sin—and cultural phenomena like “The Chosen,” urging listeners to keep Scripture at the center. One moment lingers on trust in God’s providence for growing families; another, on tuning out the clatter of criticism directed at the Pope and Church, offering practical encouragement grounded in lived faith.

 
Bridget (email) - Isn't every sin mortal? (00:49)
Trisha (email) – What’s a good solid Catholic bible? (06:21)
Peter – Is it true that the USCCB said no more bells should be rung during Mass. Can't be right...also, when did Christianity start? (09:42)
Max - Wife and I recently had a baby and we are discussing NFP. We want a big family. Where is the line between prudence and selfishness? (11:35)
Gabriel - My wife and I had 7 seven kids within 8.5 years. I want to share my perspective in relation to this current call! (24:09)
Dustin - As a Catholic, is watching The Chosen going to influence our take on the Bible in a negative way or positive way? (28:51)
Kurt - Wondering about the Eucharist: if the priest is in mortal sin, is he able to consecrate the host? Is it the priest or Christ consecrating the host? (37:20)
Terry – The priest today had all the children come up near the altar after the eucharistic prayer and he explain everything to them. (42:40)

Jose - My brother drifted away from Church

AC (email) - How can I finally forgive myself 

Patrick offers insight on tough family situations, Catholic apologetics, forgiveness, and faith struggles, switching from serious to humorous in a heartbeat. He answers questions about estrangement, church controversies, the afterlife, and overcoming regret. Wisdom, encouragement, and relief land side by side as Patrick fields anxious callers, breaks down doctrine, and finds laughter in the ordinary.

 
Jennifer - Please recommend a Bible for 17-year-old nephew who has had no religious formation. I’m feeling inspired but need advice. (00:42)
Ben - 1 Corinthians 2:16: St. Paul says we have the mind of Christ. What does that mean? (06:18)
Lee (email) – You guys think you’re so funny (12:22)
Jan - Can you recommend a book or program for high school boys to teach them to become men through a Catholic lens? (16:23)
Ellie (email) - You took a call this morning from a gentleman who asked if the Hindu religion is older than Christianity and you said, yes, it is, but big deal. You also frequently remind us of the chronology of Catholicism vis-a-vis the umpteen Protestant denominations and you emphasize that, look, Catholicism is older than all of those others. Why, then, don't you say that Hinduism is older than Catholicism, so maybe Hinduism is on to something? I guess what I'm asking is, how can we have it both ways? How can we dismiss everything that came after Catholicism but we don't dismiss Catholicism which came after Hinduism? (22:45)
Jose - My brother drifted away from Church. He sends me daily devotionals, but they don't agree with our Faith.  How should I handle this? (27:55)
Lori (email) – Is it OK to go to a free clinic that is operated by a mosque? (32:03)
James - A friend said if you die, you cannot be judged or go to heaven or hell because Jesus hasn't come back yet, so where do they go in the meantime? (37:47)
AC (email) - How can I finally forgive myself for yelling at and spanking my oldest son too much as a young, unsupported mother with a controlling husband, despite his forgiveness, my therapy, confessions, life improvements, return to faith, and prayers that only bring temporary relief before triggers return? (43:09)

Elly - Why do the Church bells ring? 

Dan - I know God answers in his own time

Patrick answers questions from callers wrestling with faith differences in marriage, the boundaries of attending non-Catholic services, and Catholic teachings on prayer and the Mass. Humor and warmth cut through discussions of Adventist-Catholic divisions, the meaning of church bells, and why prayers matter even when God already knows the outcome.

 
Jane - Husband grew up 7th Day Adventist and still attends, and he wants me to go with. Is that okay, since he also goes with me to Mass on Sunday? (00:32)
Chuck - I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and every test I kept hearing the Keep Going guy and Jesus I trust in You. (14:42)
Diane - Is it okay for the priest not to say the Gloria and Creed in daily masses and is that the same for the weekend masses? (19:56)
Anne - Can loved ones who have died see what we are going through? Should we pray for or to them for intercession? (22:28)
Jesus - I think you could also say 'Sigue Adelante' for Spanish translation of Keep Going! (28:51)
Kathy - We had 7th Day Adventists who were the nicest neighbors. We need to get to know the individual. We shouldn’t discourage the woman from attending her husband’s church. (31:23)
Pat - If a bishop is going against canon law, does the priest still have an obligation to obey him? (33:11)
Andrew - I was asked to play at a Lutheran Church. I'm Catholic, so would that be scandalous? (40:55)
Elly - Why do the Church bells ring? (45:29)
Dan - I know God answers in his own time, but I wonder if God is going to do what he wants to do anyway, why should we keep praying? (48:03)
