Patrick blends faith with everyday life as he addresses listener questions about free will, godparent requirements, the meaning and impact of political symbols, and cultural diversity in America. He responds directly, weaving in personal stories about his Mexican heritage and insights on topical issues like immigration, the MAGA hat debate, and AI consciousness as Catholic teaching meets current events, humor, and honest perspective in a conversation that never stays in one lane.

 
Jurek (email) – I listen to you program and the point you making is not to bring politics into religion, but yet that's what you are doing, quoting politicians, presidents etc. (00:48)
Email – Make America White Again (07:31)
Even (email) – In what way was Mary free? (22:06)
Preston (email) – Is it sinful to use action figures to make a Nativity Scene? (30:53)
Daniel (email) - I understand that Mary still retained free will, that she could have sinned and made wrong choices, but didn't. Would it be wrong of me to think that the super abundance of graces poured out upon her essentially prevented her from sinning, from resisting God's will for her? (37:37)
Email – Why do some churches allow couples who are living together out of wedlock to be godparents? (41:59)
Cordilla (email) – What happens if A.I. becomes self-aware (48:54)

Patrick welcomes listeners with fresh thoughts on family struggles, sharing both supportive insights and caution when couples split and children are involved. He celebrates Taco Tuesday through a playful exchange on mariachi traditions, brings sharp humor to the immigration debate with satirical moments, and fields candid questions about Catholic teaching, mixed marriages, and faith journeys.

 
Lyn (email) - In David’s children's mind, it is a "divorce". Same consequences and sadness for children especially if the father remarries.  He should try and reconcile w the mother for the children's sake. (00:44)
Daniel - Do you have a 'grito'? That is the sound Mariachi's make. (03:01)
Michelle - I think legal is legal is legal. We are a nation of laws. I think that is the bottom line. (05:41)
Audio: Josh Seiter - Woke white liberal asked to vacate home for transnative man of color (13:31)
Audio: Josh Seiter - Trans indigenous people for ICE (15:48)
Steve (email) - I really enjoyed hearing different perspectives on the current situation surrounding illegal immigration and deportations. (19:59)
Cathy (email) - Regarding the immigration debate and current political discussion, it seems that the term "racist" is used too loosely. Asking questions or posing an alternative opinion often comes with accusation of racism which is not necessarily true.
Jim - I heard the Archbishop's speech and I understand what he is saying. I don't hold the same view. A family pitching a tent in our yard is the same as someone coming into our country without asking permission. (26:44)
Maria - Is it ok to use crystal candles in my house? (31:58)
Caden (email) - Can I assign a new godparent to my 5-year-old whose godparent wasn't actually eligible at the time of her baptism? (37:56)
Chandler - I come from a big LDS (Mormon) family, and they are asking me about my faith. How do I approach the conversation when my family gets confrontational? (40:24)
David - How long did Job's trial last in the Bible? (48:39)
Carmel - I am an immigrant and I had to be vetted and was investigated in Ireland before coming here. I think this process should still be enacted. (49:42)
