Patrick explores pressing listener questions about Catholic practices, why posture at Mass matters, and what true unity looks like when traditions shift unexpectedly. Scriptural references and personal stories fuel a wide-ranging exchange on receiving Communion with the right preparation, the impact of Church history on faith, and facing challenges from Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons at the door. Those conversations stretch from investigating the label “Roman Catholic” to untangling misunderstandings about the sacraments, all while encouraging listeners to keep pursuing clarity and reverence in their faith journey.

 
Kip (email) - As a cradle Catholic who has always knelt in reverence after the Lamb of God, I was so disturbed by the complete lack of kneeling and overall irreverence during the Liturgy of the Eucharist at a new parish I tried yesterday that it felt like a Protestant service and has left me convinced such practices are eroding belief in Christ’s true presence in the Eucharist and leading the flock astray. (00:46)
Mark - I thought that being born again was enough. Why do I need 7 sacraments? (05:21)
Dan - You gave me research to do on the early Church, and I now agree with you. Can you give me details on Linus, Cletus and Clement? (20:46)
Kathy - How do I deal with Jehovah's Witnesses? Also thank you for the advice you gave me 2 months ago. (37:59)
Rafael - Why are we referred to as Roman Catholics?

Patrick opens the lines to questions on everything from the nuances of calling oneself Catholic versus Roman Catholic, to the thorny spaces of marriage, conversion, and sacramental life when couples move at different speeds. He moves between callers wrestling with Protestant arguments on faith and works, personal battles with divorce, haunting memories of abortion, and even speculation about the glorified resurrected body and incorrupt saints. Unexpected candor and tension ripple beneath discussions as Patrick brings clarity and hope, offering listeners both practical steps and spiritual encouragement.

 
Patrick continues his conversation with Rafael from the previous hour about by we are referred to as “Roman Catholics”
Rick - I had a discussion with a Protestant and quoted James about faith and works. He said that the Book of James was just for the Jews and not for non-Jewish people. (06:21)
Deidra - I heard your comment about the Holy Ghost. When 120 disciples were up in the upper room, they had the power to speak in tongues but didn’t have power to heal. People don’t speak in tongues anymore. (10:34)
Jake - Why is a couple forced to be married in the Church if both are Catholic, but if only one is Catholic they are not required to be married in the Church? (16:56)
Juan – My wife had an abortion many years ago and I still have guilt (33:52)
Stuart - What are the anatomical features of the resurrected body? (40:01)
Don - Encourages the last caller to not go through divorce and to stick it out (46:17)

Patrick explores the blessings and struggles Catholic families encounter, from moms torn between income and being with their kids to the Church’s teachings about burial, relics, and sacramental marriage. He answers questions on choosing faith-driven paths in a world of mixed messages, why certain Church practices matter, and how civil law interacts with belief. Through vivid stories and heartfelt exchanges, Patrick reveals how grace and patience thread through ordinary days, rooting people in hope even as life gets messy.

 
Carmen (email) - You really think it's ok for a mom to quit her job and go on food stamps so the family can live on her husband's income? Wouldn't you think this would be a reason to limit family size using NFP, rather than going on welfare? (00:38)
Rose - Why do bodies need to be buried? What’s wrong with cremation and keeping the ashes? (03:30)
John - What is the reason we pray the prayer of St. Michael at the end of Mass? (09:32)
Donna - How is it that the Catholic church makes relics out of the bodies of the Saints and spreads the body parts across the world? (10:53)
Fred – Women should stay home and raise the family. Let your husband take care of the bills. (13:04)
Scott - What is the definition of marriage? (15:08)
Steffanie - I stopped teaching so I can be with my third baby. It’s not easy. (24:50)
Stacy - Are priests not doing a good job warning people about going to hell? (30:22)
Katherine - My son and daughter-in-law are meeting with the priest about becoming Catholic. During a recent meeting, the priest said he can go to confession (about marrying civilly) and go to Holy Communion. Would he be compounding sin upon sin? (40:45)
Annette - I was looking for a new car, and a great surprise came through! (44:54)
Michelle - I would like all parents to know that when kids are noisy at Mass, I am not bothered at all. The fact that there are there is a blessing and a joy (48:07)
Lory - Stay at home moms: I was able to do that also. I had my own business and I was able to bring them with me. So many people told me that I should put my kids in day care. (49:57)
