John - Are there no animals in heaven? Does th

Jacob - What is the rite of the confraternity 

Patrick takes calls that spin from curiosity about Mormon influence in “The Chosen” to questions on how Scripture fits into liturgy and when it’s right to stop helping a friend who keeps asking. Sometimes a moment is light, like a wish for fishing in heaven; sometimes it stirs with a listener’s return to faith through radio during grief. In the middle of it all, Patrick threads updates, sudden laughter, and sincere encouragement, never letting the hour drift into the predictable.

Lisa - I am watching House of David. If Saul was the Chosen One, how did he turn evil also how did David kill thousands of people in war? (01:11)
Don (email) - My question concerns whether to genuflect when you leave Mass. (06:31)
Rose - If you confess before dying, why do you still go to Purgatory? (15:27)
Syd - In the first reading of Acts, can you clarify what Jesus meant by His leaving would be to the Apostles' advantage? (20:10)
Katherine – Did Satan know Jesus was the second person of the Trinity? (27:24)
Matt (email) – Is the Tower of Babel to warn us about teaching English to those who don’t speak it already? (30:14)

Dolores (email) - Don just called about genuflecting, and your response made me think about your position on bowing to the crucifix/priest during the procession.
