Patrick welcomes callers with questions about Christ’s divinity and humanity, referencing Church Fathers and resources that clarify centuries-old mysteries. Stories about homeschooling surface alongside practical tips for families navigating education and faith, then shift to conversations about marriage, family conflict, and the reliability of artificial intelligence tools for research. Through personal anecdotes, resource recommendations, and candid exchanges, Patrick keeps listeners thinking and engaged.

 
David - I am thinking about the divinity and humanity of Christ. How is Jesus both fully God and fully man and yet not a created being? (00:32)
Susan - Homeschooling concerns: I am a homeschool parent who deals with disability. This is a possibility. Also, some Catholic Schools have excellent financial aid. (07:15)
Lisa - My son no longer wants to be Catholic. He is marrying a girl who is Lutheran. What does this entail for us a family? How do I handle this? (16:51)
Todd - Do you think that AI are more like influencers than fact providers? (28:40)
PJ - My father-in-law started going to Mass after years of not going. There is abuse going on in the family. How can I as a young man intervene and help him? (35:32)
Alexandra - I am 6 months pregnant and it is becoming very difficult to kneel at Mass. Should I suffer through it or sit back? (44:07)
Ruth - The K12 program for homeschoolers is no longer Catholic friendly. It has become highly woke. (46:22)

Patrick steers lively conversations about faith, culture, and Catholic living, opening with reflections on religious freedom and the unique presence of a presidential message honoring the Immaculate Conception. He responds with candor to concerns about unreliable AI-generated information, offers practical guidance on distinguishing authentic homeschooling, and questions variations in liturgical practices, always bringing listeners back to Church tradition. Unexpected questions about friendship, morality, and family struggles challenge Patrick to give direct, compassionate advice with both gravity and warmth.

 
David - Did you talk about the statement from the President on the Immaculate Conception? I think it is worth talking about regarding our religious freedom as Catholics. (00:39)
Mary - I think Chat GPT can be wrong sometimes. Chat GPT even got the Pope's name wrong at one point. I am skeptical. (03:51)
Shannon - I homeschooled for 12 years. We need to distinguish schooling at home with a public-school curriculum vs true homeschooling where parents have control over the curriculum. (06:48)
Chris - I noticed at a Church I attend, they don't say 'The Mass is ended'. Also, the priest at Confession didn't make me say the Act of Contrition. (11:30)
Bill (email) - I bow my head when “Jesus Christ” is said during Mass. Is this part of the rubrics or traditional or am I doing something that doesn’t belong? (20:47)
Cathy - People bowing to the priest. I was taught that you should bow for the cross and not the priest. We also would bow when the priest holds up the Bible. What is your view? (23:43)
Patrick in Monterey, CA - I thought no graven images were allowed in the Church? Doesn't the Bible prohibit graven images? (27:49)
Archdiocese of Boston says, ‘ICE was here’ Nativity scene violates norms for sacred imagery (34:01)
Shelly - My friend is keeping company with a married man. I know the married man's wife. Should I say anything? Is there anything I can do or read? (38:20)
Kelly - Can I be a godmother for a baby whom the parents don't plan to baptize? How can I convince my brother and his wife to baptize their baby? (43:01)
