Patrick takes listeners through the meaning and history of Catholic devotions like the brown scapular and the miraculous medal while addressing common myths with clear, practical explanations. Calls spark discussions about the canon of Scripture, the early Church, apocryphal texts, and living authentic faith without superstition. Expect honest answers, a touch of humor, and insights for Protestants curious about Catholicism as well as lifelong Catholics.
