Break 2

Joan - I agree with everything you have said. 

Ann - My daughter had cancer during the summer

Patrick answers listener questions about faith sacrifices, the challenge of attending Mass from remote areas, and what the Church says about intimacy in marriage. His answers are blunt and compassionate, shifting quickly between stories from callers and firm pro-life guidance, never shying away from hard emotional truths, especially around abortion and IVF. Personal anecdotes and candid advice fill the hour with tension and empathy.

 
John (email) – There isn’t a Catholic Church near me. Should I go to a Protestant Church or watch a Catholic Mass online? (01:03)
Erika (email) - Within marriage, is various touching and intimate actions as well as different positions (during the marriage act) morally permissible as long as it all leads up to the act being completed in the normal way? (06:10)
Elijah - I worked in a shipyard in Alaska and would drive close to 2 hours to Church after working a full day of work. It is doable. (12:22)
Email – Question about abortion (18:27)
Audio: Former abortionist Anthony Levatino "I did 1200 abortions, 1st and 2nd trimester. 1 was for rape, 2 were for incest, 9 or 10 were for genetic effects. And all the rest of them were healthy moms and healthy kids.” "People don’t want to believe that, but it’s the truth." https://x.com/LifeNewsHQ/status/1992988281366253650 (28:39)
Audio: Abortion hurts men, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1NQOFu7cAc&ab_channel=LiveAction (30:37)
Joan - I agree with everything you have said. I had abortions over 50 years ago. I was talked into it. (36:59)
Ann - My daughter had cancer during the summer, and they made her get an abortion. Also, her husband and her had an embryo frozen. What does the Church teach on this? (40:07)

Patrick answers urgent questions on immigration, justice, and faith, fielding passionate calls from listeners who draw connections between vetting newcomers and while expressing real concern for public safety and moral responsibility. He weaves in global stories from places like the UK and Sweden, confronting the human struggles and government challenges head-on while exploring practical, faith-driven solutions. Packed with firsthand perspectives, quick pivots to family and religious education, and bold examinations of controversial policies, the conversation refuses to flatten complex experiences.

Audio: A London woman calls in to JuliaHB1 at @TalkTV and cries her eyes out in desperation "We're not racist we're petrified" "What are these politicians doing to us. They're putting everyone in danger" "I don't leave the house without a man" - My local shop has had 3 stabbings. 1 Murder. - My friend was murdered last year - A girl I know was murdered in the park - I'm begging my son to leave the country - My cousin was murdered "Our friends, our family are dying" - https://x.com/Basil_TGMD/status/1983518742626578839 (14:16)
