Why don't people get the apostolic pardon?

In this hour, Patrick tackles many misconceptions about purgatory. He clarifies that prayers for souls in purgatory are always beneficial, not just on specific days, and discusses the power of praying for deceased loved ones. Remember, your prayers can help purify those in purgatory or even influence a conversion before one's death. Don’t miss this episode to understand the profound impact your prayers can have.


Allen (email) – Listening to your conversation about cell phones and taking the doors off of children’s doors as punishment… (00:44)
Mary (email) – We took the door off our daughter’s bedroom after she slammed it after being warned not to slam it (04:49)
Chris (email) – I enjoy when you talk about the music of your youth
Kay - My mother nailed my window shut because I kept sneaking out. (10:57)
Pete – Are there only two days a year that prayers are allowed for the people in purgatory? (20:43)
Patrick explains the power of prayer and how God is outside of time (22:35)
Brenda - Could you talk about the family life as a reason not to have an abortion? I think it is more effective to say how great family life is, opposed to harping on how bad murder is. (27:36)
Bobbi - Why don't people get the apostolic pardon? What is the difference between Hell and Purgatory? (35:41)

Patrick takes an unflinching look at a sensitive issue: the fate of souls who leave the Catholic Church. He discusses the grave implications of walking away from the faith, as explained by Catholic teaching. He dives into why the Catholic Church believes it's the true path to salvation, touches on scripture, and the necessity of baptism and the Eucharist. For those on a similar journey, he recommends “Lumen Gentium” by Pope Paul VI, and insightful reads like "Why Be Catholic?" and "Surprised By Truth."


Will - I am considering converting to the Catholic Church. You said that someone who left the Catholic Church wouldn't go to heaven. Does that mean that only Catholics go to heaven? (00:32)
James - My mom left the Catholic Church when I was young and my aunt left the convent, and I don't think they are going to hell. I want to reassure the listeners that their loved ones are in heaven. (20:35)
Kathy - I was offended by you when you said I wouldn't go to heaven if I wasn’t Catholic. Now, I am in RCIA and want to thank you for saying it the way you did. (38:33)
Melissa - I left the Church but came back. Had I stayed in the Protestant Church, I would have not been saved because I was living a bad life without boundaries. (42:20)
Steve - I agree that the Catholic Church is the visible Church. I think that there is more space for people than you are giving to these people. I think there should be more mercy. (45:36)
Herbert - I am 90 years old, and I am hurting. I don't understand how people can love Jesus. (47:35)

Can the Catholic Church reject you after a failed marriage? Here's the truth: the Church doesn't reject anyone. It's all about following Jesus' teachings, even when it's tough. If someone is struggling with this issue or knows someone who is, remember, it's not about being turned away; it's about being called to a higher standard. Stay committed, follow the teachings, and keep the faith.


Lilian - Is it wrong for me to participate in a pancake breakfast fundraiser on Sundays? (01:45)
Terry - I agree with what you are saying, Patrick. I don't want us to come across as people like Father Feeney who said you need to be formally a Catholic to be saved. (04:59)
Mary - What do you do if the Catholic Church rejects you? When you can't receive an annulment it feels you are excluded from the Church. (15:39)
Violet (9-years-old) - Is stealing a dime from your mom a mortal sin? (21:26)
Tiffany - Is it okay to support businesses on Sundays? (25:24)
Vince - I keep hearing that Jesus had four brothers, including James.  Could you clarify? (31:02)
Tracy - My younger brother is 16 and has been having premarital sex with his girlfriend. I'm thinking about bringing this up with the girlfriend's parents.  Is that okay? (38:18)
