Patrick guides listeners through fast-moving conversations on St. Patrick’s Day, pulling in everything from artificial intelligence’s effect on the value of knowledge to the quiet cost of letting technology handle mental heavy lifting. Candid exchanges on memory, screen time, and biblical passages break into everyday reality, as Patrick fields calls about the challenges of faith, parenting, and friendship with a blend of humor and substance.

Christina - Memory and AI. I am in my early 70s. I used to remember people's phone numbers easily. Now after smart phones, I can't remember the phone of my own son. In the early 1900s, people used to quote poetry. (14:08)
Ronnie - Jesus rubbed mud on a man's eyes and he was able to see. What does the 'Son of Man' mean? (18:30)
Al (email) – In the movies, they always show a block where the feet are nailed. In reality, do you think they actually had a raised block to nail the feet? (23:43)
Greg (email) – Would it be possible for a man on death row to get an exorcism before he is put to death? (28:08)
Annie (email) - Is it okay for my 2-year-old son to play with a neighborhood boy (also 2 years old) who has two moms? (30:51)
John - Jesus said that it was neither the blindman's sin or his parents that caused his blindness, yet in today's Gospel, Jesus tells him to go and sin no more. This seems like a contradiction. What do you think? (33:46)
Laura - I went to Confession and I asked about the woman of the well. The priest told me that her sin had nothing to do with having five husbands or sexual sin, but five gods. What do you think? (40:54)
