Karolee - Running in the 5k with the Freemason

Patrick takes listeners through pressing questions facing Catholics today, exploring the Church’s teaching on participation in Masonic events, divorce, and capital punishment, while offering heartfelt encouragement to those seeking to return to active faith. Candid calls inspire honest discussion about moral clarity, the struggle to remain steadfast amidst confusion, and the quiet bravery required to witness truth and mercy within divided communities. Patrick emphasizes the importance of perseverance, dialogue rooted in kindness, and spiritual renewal for those who have drifted away.

 
Jackie (email) - As a Catholic, can I be involved in a charity event (a 5K) sponsored by a masonic lodge which donates to the local police department or other community need (rather than fundraising for the masons or their lodge directly)? (01:12)

Sean (email) - I'm hearing all these horrible heart wrenching stories if divorce, of families being torn apart. The Blessed Mother said the final battle would be over the family. The secular society has lied to people and convinced them if they are unhappy just leave your spouse. (11:23)
Dominic - Is the death penalty in principle wrong as a Catholic? (23:02)
Karolee - Running in the 5k with the Freemasons. There’s a group of Catholics here ministering to LGBTQ. Could that be a parade supporting LGBTQ agendas? (38:10)
