Patrick responds to listener questions on faith, family, and Catholic teaching, moving from the struggles of family planning and discussions about contraception to the everyday difficulty of prioritizing God over personal plans.

Patrick guides listeners through questions on Catholic teaching, from private revelations, true Church authority, to what happens to souls who never heard the Gospel, like ancient Aztecs. He talks to folks returning to faith amid family challenges, the nature of mortal sin and personal struggle, and gives compassionate counsel to an aunt wrestling with her godchild’s abortion, balancing mercy and truth.

Encyclical Letter Magnifica Humanitas by Pope 

Mike - Can you become too dogmatic or legalist

Break

The SSPX has announced the names of four pries

Kent - Do we maintain our memories when we die

Mary - When is it okay to admonish your priest

Patrick opens by bringing artificial intelligence into sharp focus, referencing Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical and its stark warning against techno-pride and corporate overreach while championing human dignity shaped in God’s image. He fields tough questions on legalism, confession, and the conscience, never shying from the uncomfortable edges of parish life, from irksome priests to schism brewing in the headlines. Even simple moments, like enduring a noisy movie companion, become lessons about discomfort and grace woven into daily faith.

The SSPX has announced the names of four priests to be consecrated bishops on July 1 at its seminary in Switzerland. (22:18)
Kent - Do we maintain our memories when we die? (26:19)
Mary - When is it okay to admonish your priest in a brotherly way? Is it ever okay to speak up if the Pastor is pushing people away from the church to seek other parishes? (31:27)
