Patrick answers questions about OCIA fees, simony, and sacramental theology. Calls spark deep exchanges on the meaning of Mass, forgiveness, and biblical interpretation, while personal stories about divorce and Church scandal bring raw honesty to the conversation. Throughout, he fields questions on funeral customs, prayers for the dead, and the mysteries of angels, never shying away from thorny subjects.
