Patrick shares how being a grandfather to 32 (and counting) shapes his understanding of the important bond between grandparents and grandchildren, weaving in personal traditions, childhood memories, and practical snack secrets involving Slim Jims and fruit snacks. He responds to callers’ stories about discipline, letting adult children develop their own parenting methods, and the surprises that come with family caregiving, while addressing everything from Mass translations to keeping faith traditions alive.

Sophia - My mom has been away from the Church.

Patrick fields listener calls exploring everything from the quirks of Latin and Spanish translations in Catholic tradition to personal stories of family genetics and the odd surprises that pop up in RCIA. He considers questions about prayers, confession, annulment, purgatory, and even warns about the dangers of the occult, weaving serious advice with bursts of humor and pop culture nods. Conversations zigzag with unexpected warmth as Patrick jokes about Wham! albums while breaking down Catholic doctrine and practical faith questions.

 
Robert - I taught Latin for many years. There are words in Latin that don’t exist in English and the same with all languages. In English, we have articles that don't exist in Latin. We need to add them in where we think they belong. (01:15)
Pat - I think Las Nuevas is more of an idiom. I am not sure which is correct and if Las Nuevas has a religious context. (05:30)
Jose - I know you come from an ethnic mixed marriage. How did you and your siblings come out as far as complexion? (08:39)
Natalia - What about the use of language in certain prayers? (12:21)
Sammy - My sister said that Purgatory is not in the Bible. She wanted to know why she had to go to a priest for Confession. (21:11)
Greg - I have a question about an annulment. My brother got a girl pregnant before getting married. Wouldn’t Confessing fornication be grounds for an annulment? (30:11)
Michael – Has Cyrus translated WHAM! lyrics into Latin? (37:10)
TC - I believe that occult practices are an invisible addiction. Is there anything in the Bible that we can use to turn spells back on people who cast them? (38:33)
Sophia - My mom has been away from the Church. Is it possible for her to go to Confession without OCIA and can she receive Communion? (46:41)
