Patrick fields passionate questions about salvation, Catholic sacraments, and who truly gets to heaven, drawing sharp lines between Church teaching and personal speculation while opening room for God’s mercy. In rapid, candid exchanges, he explains Mass gestures, why some rituals belong to the priest alone, the reasoning behind Catholic burial obligations, and even settles whether a diamond chalice would pass liturgical muster. News events weave through, as Patrick doesn’t shy from blunt takes on political violence, respecting human dignity, and what faith looks like in real life.
