Margie - Some priests don't where their clerics and it makes me upset (24:27)

Patrick answers a question about living in ongoing sin and addresses some misconceptions about God's mercy. Patrick explains Jesus' teachings on repentance, quoting Luke 13, and stresses the importance of genuinely seeking forgiveness. If you're struggling with repeat sins, remember, confession with a contrite heart is key. Understanding and aligning with Jesus' message is crucial for spiritual growth.


Margaret - Synod of Synodality is over. What should we do if they change Church teaching? (03:38)
Pat - Praying for holy souls: are we praying for them to get out of purgatory early? (13:18)
Richard - Italy is a Catholic nation but IVF is allowed, but only three eggs are harvested and fertilized.  If they're doing this in a Catholic nation, there are methods that must be acceptable. (19:06)
George - I hear several times about the Eucharistic Ministers blessing people.  I always say God Bless you, it's like when you bless people when they sneeze. (22:47)
*Elena - What could I say to my sister when she tells me that even though people are sinful, because of God's mercy, they are going to go to heaven? (25:28)
Britney - I think IVF is opening the door to immoral things.  I had a cousin who was a surrogate, and the birth mother gave the baby up to adoption because she didn't want that gender. (36:48)
Calvin - What is the Church’s teaching about predestination? (43:15)
