Patrick offers a charitable critique of the New American Bible, focusing on its approach to biblical interpretation, particularly the "hermeneutic of suspicion." Patrick explains this methodology's tendency to question miracles, like the feeding of the 5,000, and traditional views on the authorship of the Gospel of St. Matthew. He contrasts this with insights from the new Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, which supports traditional apostolic authorship and provides enriching commentary.


Robert – Could Jesus do miracles because he was God or because he was perfect? (01:48)
Josh - I am a new Catholic and I am wondering how do I know how to choose a parish? (07:48)
Susan (email) – I loved the NEC! (22:58)
Joe - We hear that the recommendation for confession is once per year, but a lot of priests say once per month. Why do I need to go to confession if I’m not in mortal sin? (26:37)

Today's discussion is about the power of public campaigns in changing societal attitudes. Patrick shares insights from the anti-littering movement of the 60s and draws comparisons to shifting opinions on abortion. Listeners provided impactful stories on how education reshaped behaviors on littering and tipping, emphasizing personal responsibility in keeping communities clean and supportive.


Patrick comments on the anti-littering campaign in the late 60’s (00:58)
Linda - Littering: I was behind a car, and they threw out their whole bag of McDonald’s food. (06:59)
Pat - I was at a restaurant in the 70’s and the service was terrible. I was going to leave a bad tip but then changed my mind. She was so happy to get the tip and I think we helped turn her day around. (10:18)
Tom - I agree with what you are saying about littering. They actually had ads about littering. The American Indian having trash thrown at his feet was really effective (12:47)
Ossie (email) - Richard Nixon started the EPA in 1970. I’m 74 and grew up in Los Angeles, I remember when we used incinerators to burn trash. (24:33)
Teresa (email) - People just walk around and throw whatever they want anywhere here in Minneapolis. (25:15)
Michael - When I was young, I was told abortion is okay because we were told that babies in the womb are just chemicals floating in the woman. But that, of course, was a lie.(29:02)
Mayra - I really like your idea of using the example of the repetition of littering can be used now with abortion. People need to hear what abortion truly is. As someone who has had an abortion, I think that people need to speak out about their abortions. (32:56)
Teresa - I agree with what you are saying. I was raped in College and abortion wasn't legal, so I put the child up for adoption. I thought it was a clump of cells. If abortion had been available for me than I may have gone down that road. (41:11)
Bill - The littering law in PA says $300 dollar fine for littering. (48:46)
