Mike (email) – Is it okay to dress casually when I go to Mass or Adoration? (03:28)
Email - Am I being too rigid in my negative assessment of a situation where a monastery is offering the Eucharist to those who they know are not Catholic? (06:24)
Derek - I am learning more about the Catholic Church through OCIA. I rely heavily on data and have been reading your book “Surprised by Truth”. Do you have any advice? (13:43)
Deacons were not permitted to touch the consecrated host or even to act as an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion, absent a grave cause – (23:54)
Dennis - We are losing attendance to Church. It scares me. I think we need to be devoted to the Eucharist.  (29:52)
Ed - I agree with you Patrick about the consecration and that a lay person shouldn't distribute Communion. At my Church, you have one priest consecrating the Eucharist and other priests distributing. Does your rule apply to them? (39:17)
Stephanie - I attend the Traditional Latin Mass and mostly everyone is appropriately dressed for Mass. Not everyone has the wherewithal to buy a suit and I needed to talk to my husband about this. For those who can't afford nice clothes, they always seem to be presentable and in clean clothes. (43:22)

Patrick responds to listeners wrestling with parish turmoil, scandal, and the tensions between Catholicism and Protestant churches, grounding his advice in Scripture and personal anecdotes. Communion debates, worries about Church "rules," and calls for prayer get honest airtime—he draws from stories of saints, practical analogies, and candid self-reflection. The hour moves quickly, shifting from heartfelt concern to moments of gentle humor, offering reassurance and clarity without shying away from uncomfortable truths.

 
Cynthia - How do I know if and when I should leave my parish because my priest is not living right? (00:40)

Jim - You were discussing Baptism. Pope JPII said that 'you are Christ'. Can you help me understand this? (23:43)
Jennifer - We need to be united as Catholics, and we need to be patient and persevere. (27:55)
Vanessa - Why is it acceptable to not go to daily Mass because it is not Latin? (33:21)
Mary Ann - My husband is a great Protestant man but doesn't go to Church. Also, my friends are Protestant but don't want to be Catholic because it is too hard. (38:20)
Joseph - How old do you think the world is? I think it is only 6,000-7,000 years. (48:29)
