Sophia - What is the ethical thing to do after you've already made mistake of frozen embryos?

 
Email – Kim: The Church belongs to all of us and I don't agree on your answer about the St. Michael prayer.

 
Michael - What did Fathers of the Church know and say about the 'infused knowledge of Christ'? When did Jesus begin to understand His divinity?

 
Break 1

 
Cindy - I am going through OCIA and experiencing a lot of suffering. How can I find grace and strength in this situation. What should she focus on?

Fr. Jeff (email) - In The Cardinal, the people

Frank - Can you clarify your inaccurate statem

Val - Is using stem cells against our Catholic

Rick - Can I wear a Pope Leo outfit for Hallow

Annabelle (7-years-old) - If God loves everyon

Patrick responds to heartfelt questions about why God desires worship, the reasons for the New Covenant, and the challenges of faith when loved ones struggle or fall away. Listeners share stories of regret, renewal, and seeking forgiveness, while Patrick offers clear, compassionate guidance on issues from embryo adoption to attending non-Catholic weddings and the morality of stem cell therapies. Thoughtful exchanges on church authority, humility in disagreements, and the enduring love of God provide encouragement for anyone longing for spiritual restoration or a gentle invitation back to their faith.

 
Kevin - Why was the New Covenant needed? (00:42)
Jessica (email) – My husband had a vasectomy before we were Catholic. Should he have it reversed? (03:19)
Elizabeth - I debated someone over embryo adoption. I am 100% in favor. I think Catholics misinterpret mitochondrial replacement therapy. (11:22)
Fr. Jeff (email) - In The Cardinal, the people were bowing to the Bishop, not a priest. In our liturgical formation we bow to the Bishop (who has the fullness of the priesthood) when approaching the altar as a lector, but when a priest is presiding we bow to the altar, not the priest. (18:47)
John (email) - My brother (raised Catholic, has struggled with faith for years) asked why an all-powerful, omnipotent God who controls the universe would want to be worshiped by weak, imperfect humans like us.
Frank - Can you clarify your inaccurate statements about SSPX? You stated that that SSPX had an issue with religious liberty. Also, you stated that SSPX takes a Calvinistic approach. (25:12)
Val - Is using stem cells against our Catholic religion? (38:53)
Rick - Can I wear a Pope Leo outfit for Halloween. Is it sacrilegious? (41:49)
Annabelle (7-years-old) - If God loves everyone, does He also love the devil? (43:41)
Connie (email) - If I have been invited to a non-Catholic wedding, where neither party is or was Catholic, but both bride and groom have been married before, I should not attend because this be bearing false witness and could cause scandal, right?
