Patrick starts the show off by reading an email about how a listener accidently found Relevant Radio and it’s changed his life and he’s a Catholic now


Thomas - If someone was going to confession to remove mortal sin but died before he got there would the grace that he wanted from confession apply to him? In the same way, if parents want to baptize their child but have a miscarriage would the child receive graces that he would have gotten if he was baptized? What happens to the souls of miscarried child? (04:54)
Patrick, responding to an email asking if Catholics can be Free Masons, recommends the books “Why Catholics Can Not Be Masons” and “Masonry Unmasked” both by John Salza
Melissa - What should I do with my son who got married to a woman without including his family? He doesn't want to talk with me about it. (19:57)
Victor - Are there examples of people who refuse to contribute to society in the bible, and how are we supposed to love these people? (27:37)
What is the cause of homelessness? It's not drugs or mental illness, researchers say

Patrick takes listeners through pressing questions facing Catholics today, exploring the Church’s teaching on participation in Masonic events, divorce, and capital punishment, while offering heartfelt encouragement to those seeking to return to active faith. Candid calls inspire honest discussion about moral clarity, the struggle to remain steadfast amidst confusion, and the quiet bravery required to witness truth and mercy within divided communities. Patrick emphasizes the importance of perseverance, dialogue rooted in kindness, and spiritual renewal for those who have drifted away.

 
Jackie (email) - As a Catholic, can I be involved in a charity event (a 5K) sponsored by a masonic lodge which donates to the local police department or other community need (rather than fundraising for the masons or their lodge directly)? (01:12)
Book recommendation: Masonry Unmasked: An Insider Reveals the Secrets of the Lodge by John Salza
Sean (email) - I'm hearing all these horrible heart wrenching stories if divorce, of families being torn apart. The Blessed Mother said the final battle would be over the family. The secular society has lied to people and convinced them if they are unhappy just leave your spouse. (11:23)
Dominic - Is the death penalty in principle wrong as a Catholic? (23:02)
Karolee - Running in the 5k with the Freemasons. There’s a group of Catholics here ministering to LGBTQ. Could that be a parade supporting LGBTQ agendas? (38:10)
