Patrick offers thought provoking answers and commentary to help listeners better understand the Catholic faith and what the Church teaches.

(3:30) Paul - My friend had twins who were born prematurely and got baptized but the priest didn't use the word 'you' when baptizing but the baby's name. Is it still valid?

 
Break 1

 
(20:20) Marilyn - We prayed the rosary before Mass yesterday. We prayed the Sorrowful Mysteries on Sunday because of Lent but I had never heard of that. Is that a thing we should be doing?
