Patrick welcomes questions that reach from Catholic faith and science, like connecting Adam and Eve to evolution, to family struggles over a loved one joining a zealous group, and the emotional weight of defending Church teachings with clarity and love. Listeners voice worries about things such as white wine in the chalice, hydration for a fading parent, and even dogs in the pews, while Patrick responds with practical wisdom, heartfelt encouragement, and resources to keep faith at the center. Unexpected, sometimes touching, always honest.
Mike - My daughter is learning about evolution. She is trying to square how evolution and Adam and Eve came about? (00:31)
Joe - My wife is starting to leave the Church. She has joined another denomination. How do I defend the faith and prove their flaws. (11:51)
Colleen - Sunday Mass, I took the precious blood. I saw in the chalice before I consumed it, and it was white wine. Is that the incorrect matter to use? (27:44)
Amy - I help teach OCIA. I was a convert myself. There is a little antagonism when you get closer and closer to coming to Church. (33:30)
Jackie – My 96-year-old mom had a stroke. She vomits when she takes water. She doesn't want extraordinary means to stay alive. Is withholding IV from her a sin? (42:30)
Rose - What is your stance on regular pets in Church during Mass? (48:37)
