Vera - I want to buy Surprised by Truth, but I am wondering what edition should I buy?
Is it okay to receive Communion by intinction?
Frank - Intinction has not been allowed by our bishop but both species have been aloud.
Faith - In scripture it says the body is meant to strengthen and the blood is meant to wash. Also you mentioned the ability to have babies makes a woman. What about women who can't have babies?
Heidi - How do I know if new prayers and devotions are approved by the Church? Some new prayers seem good, but I'm not sure.

Patrick takes the microphone to wrestle with questions about church authority, faith, and conscience, addressing misconceptions about Catholic teaching on salvation and exploring the tension between so-called legalism and a genuine relationship with God, using analogies from family rules to traffic laws. He fields raw listener dilemmas, from marital struggles to the odd presence of a Buddha statue, and traces the roots of priestly ordination through history, threading wisdom from saints and scripture through each exchange. In every moment, he leans into the messiness, persistent in pursuit of clarity and truth.

 
Ken (email) – It’s sad to hear the bad information you gave to a little kid (00:48)
Email - What's the best way to respond to a "non-denominational" (which just sounds like another domination) Christian who gives the usual relationship vs religion/legalism argument against the Catholic Church?
Sylvia (email) - Is it okay according to my church to separate from my husband of 26 years after 10+ years of no intimacy, his suspected cheating and possible attraction to men that disturbs my close relationship with God, when I only stayed for financial reasons, am tired of the lies, and now prioritize my faith at age 57? (19:31)
James (email) – What should I do with this Budda statue?
Ceci (email) - Is it true that each priest is able to trace their ordination lineage back to the Apostles? (39:30)
Martin (email) - What is the higher good? Obeying one's conscience (and who gets to decide at what point the conscience is well-formed??) or obeying authority? I am thinking right now in particular of the situation with the SSPX.

Mary Ellen - Am I allowed to visit family who

Sherry - My mom was diagnosed with Alzheime

Patrick welcomes questions about everything from liturgical norms like kneelers and communion bread to sticking with faith during family tensions or parish controversies, moving from one topic to the next with candor. He responds to concerns about traditional Catholic practices, the decisions of bishops, and challenges posed by ideologically driven parishes or universities, often linking personal anecdotes to broader church issues. Conversations veer from stories about music and shopping malls to tough moments like protecting an aging parent or upholding Church teaching in complex family situations.

 
Derek (email) – Which version of the Ave Maria do you use on the show? The answer is Aria. (01:20)
Joe – SSPX: Why is the Pope excommunicating more traditionalist bishops of SSPX and not dealing with the current more liberal bishops? (06:35)
Joshua - What do you think about the malls being obsolete, when amazon is taking over as the new mall? (12:51)
Carlos - I didn't go to my daughter’s wedding because it was not a Catholic wedding. Is it okay if I go visit her and her husband now? (15:32)
Maria - A local Jesuit University has some interesting practices in the mass, like referencing God as He or Lord with God. Does that invalidate the mass? (21:38)
Mary Ellen - Am I allowed to visit family who got 'married' in a gay relationship, and stay under their roof? (28:18)
Thomas - I just left a Catholic Church without kneelers. How do you say the Mass without kneeling? Also, the Eucharist was a cube that maybe had sugar in it. (31:44)
Sherry - My mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. She was called and agreed to a visit from Mormons. They are stepping over boundaries. What to do. (46:25)

Patrick examines everything from the use of kneelers at Mass and the history of the Latin rite to misunderstandings about the Traditional Latin Mass and ongoing arguments over tradition and change. He fields heartfelt questions on Eucharistic validity, responds to calls about family suffering, defunct churches turned into mosques, and tensions stirred by new Catholic movements. At every turn, Patrick grounds each response in Church teaching, brings historical clarity, and offers hope to listeners wrestling with confusion or grief.
