Patrick begins the episode with a thoughtful listener email about the challenges and frustrations of using AI platforms as a mental health practitioner, sparking a lively back-and-forth with Cyrus about technology, language choices, and the potential for both bias and trickery in artificial intelligence. The conversation widens to the reliability of online content, the dangers of deepfakes, and concerns about truthfulness in an era of rapidly advancing digital tools, all while listeners chime in with their own questions about Church history, faith, and how to respond to those who question Catholic teachings. Throughout, Patrick weaves in moments of humor, personal stories, and historical insights, creating an engaging and thought-provoking journey for listeners seeking clarity and encouragement.

 
Email – Why can a paid AI note-taking tool refuse a therapist’s request to use “husband,” “wife,” “he,” and “she” in her own couple notes, and who decides what language and information AI systems will or won’t allow? (01:19)
John - Was St. Peter's Square used as an execution site during the days of the Roman Empire? (23:16)
Elijah - What do you think about the downside of AI? Can't AI have a downside? (27:08)
Andy - My question is about Jeremiah. Pagans are worshipping the 'Queen of Heaven'. Some accuse Catholics of worshipping Mary because of this in the Bible? How can I respond? (41:08)
Richard - Do you agree that just voting for the sake of money is immoral? I think the War in Iran is a good example. (45:17)

Patrick explores timely questions about the intersection of faith, technology, and daily life, drawing listeners into conversations ranging from the ethical concerns surrounding AI and its potential influence on society, to the significance of prayer and sacraments in moments of spiritual need. Personal stories and heartfelt inquiries on birthdays, grief, and parish life invite both community and gratitude, while practical advice addresses the challenges facing those rediscovering or deepening their Catholic faith.

 
Fr. Jim (email) – Perhaps the knee-jerk negative reaction to AI is from all the movies and tv shows that show it in a negative light (01:20)
Paul (email) - Today is the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's murder. Were you planning to discuss that in any way?
Victoria - What does a seven-year-old need to get first Holy Communion? Does my kid have to participate in the Church's family program before receiving the Sacrament? (07:11)
Steve - I think AI seems fine in the cloud but if we give it hands and feet then that is when we could be in trouble. What do you think? (09:01)
Joe - It is not all or nothing. I think that a fully automated airplane could be possible as long as pilot is still present. (22:54)
Luis (email) - If only AI pilots a plane in the future there will be no pilots, of course the same can be said of all professions.
Patrick in Central Valley - I am going back to OCIA. Could mosquitoes before the Fall have fixed genetic defects, but because of the Fall we get sick? (32:56)
Kaylee - How does your family celebrate birthdays? (39:04)
Debbie - My mom recently passed away. She was not Christian. What will happen to her soul? (43:27)
Bob - Why haven't we heard anything about the religion of Dolly Parton or Lindsay Clancy?
Phillip - When we pray, when we are out of the state of grace, does God hear our prayers? (47:44)
