Patrick welcomes questions that reach from Catholic faith and science, like connecting Adam and Eve to evolution, to family struggles over a loved one joining a zealous group, and the emotional weight of defending Church teachings with clarity and love. Listeners voice worries about things such as white wine in the chalice, hydration for a fading parent, and even dogs in the pews, while Patrick responds with practical wisdom, heartfelt encouragement, and resources to keep faith at the center. Unexpected, sometimes touching, always honest.

 
Mike - My daughter is learning about evolution. She is trying to square how evolution and Adam and Eve came about? (00:31)
Joe - My wife is starting to leave the Church. She has joined another denomination. How do I defend the faith and prove their flaws. (11:51)
Colleen - Sunday Mass, I took the precious blood. I saw in the chalice before I consumed it, and it was white wine. Is that the incorrect matter to use? (27:44)
Amy - I help teach OCIA. I was a convert myself. There is a little antagonism when you get closer and closer to coming to Church. (33:30)
Jackie – My 96-year-old mom had a stroke. She vomits when she takes water. She doesn't want extraordinary means to stay alive. Is withholding IV from her a sin? (42:30)
Rose - What is your stance on regular pets in Church during Mass? (48:37)

Patrick invites listeners into unexpected territory as he tackles questions on Catholic prayer translations, parish life challenges, family suffering, and the place of laypeople in spiritual warfare. An unsettling story about artificial intelligence escaping its digital boundaries brings a technological twist to the conversation while listeners share heartfelt calls about faith, confusion, and finding solid ground when facing loss. Thought-provoking exchanges stretch from the mysteries of guardian angels to the unsettling rise of sentient machines.

 
James (email) - Why is the "Glory Be" in the Divine Office different from the classical version?  Why hasn't the Church sought to standardize it?  Sometimes I get looks from people who have never heard that version. (00:30)
Agatha - I earnestly ask questions at church, and I caused scandal for reasons I don’t understand. (03:33)
Susanna – What liberation prayers can a lay person pray, and which ones should I stay away from? (15:23)
Barbara - I had a 63-year-old sister with down syndrome. She could not swallow. Priest said she could not express her wishes, and it was okay for God to take her. (22:23)
Janice - I think its urgent for her to put in the IV because God is calling her home. (26:51)
Bennett (12-years-old) - What happens to your guardian angel after you die? (32:21)
Gabriel - Are exorcist’s prayers good say, since they have experience in that? There is a prayer book with liberation prayers for lay people. (38:48)
Mary - A friend of mine died in-home hospice. Towards the end, she was forced to eat and drink. The hospice nurse gave a beautiful explanation. (44:08)

Deidra - There are two types of repenting: rep

John - Do we know how old Lazarus was when Jes

Patrick answers questions on guardian angels, prayers for those who left the faith, and whether grace can reach those closed off from it. He responds to lively debates on church customs, biblical mysteries like Lazarus’s age, and the classic rivalry between Tolkien’s epic and C.S. Lewis’s Narnia, letting callers’ passions shape the flow. Music talk, real-life marriage milestones, and concerns for pro-life centers in California thread through spirited exchanges that move from deep Catholic doctrine to the simple joy of a catchy tune.

 
Sheila (email) - Can I ask the guardian angels of my grown children (who have left the faith) to attend Mass and pray for them, and if so, what grace would result and could it still reach and affect them even if they are not open to it? (00:40)
Daniel – Genuflecting (08:14)
Deidra - There are two types of repenting: repenting every day and repenting and be baptized. We need both. (10:35)
John - Do we know how old Lazarus was when Jesus raised him from the dead? (12:46)
Doug – On Friday, the Archbishop of San Francisco wrote a piece about suing the abortion reversal pill (13:58)
Nathaniel - What is better, LOTR or the Chronicles of Narnia? (20:57)
Richard - I read the LOTR books and saw the movies. The movie was a bit of a letdown but I still loved them. The Narnia books fantastic.
Andy - I want to know what is penal substitution and is it something Catholics believe? (34:13)
Dave - For Nathaniel, Narnia Christian themes much more obvious but LOTR themes are deeper, more complex. I think both are excellent. (39:12)
Ronnie - I want to encourage other married people not to give up on their spouse and try to make it better. Divorce is not the answer. (49:15)
