Patrick welcomes listeners into conversations that cut straight to the heart of Catholic living: real confessions, confusion about receiving the Holy Spirit, the tension of relationships outside of marriage, and the struggle for hope while wrestling with sin. His advice never pulls punches, he speaks plainly about Church teaching yet manages warmth, compassion, and challenge, sparking moments of both humor and deep reflection. Each call brings out raw honesty about faith, forgiveness, and the daily choices that either carry us closer to grace or pull us further away.
- Patrick continues his conversation with Jackie from the end of the last hour. She asks, how did the Holy Spirit come to the Apostles after the Resurrection? (00:55)
- Kathy - How I do I respond to someone who wants you to go to a gay marriage? (05:36)
- Michael - Church teaches that even one unconfessed mortal sin will cause you to go to hell. What if I don't remember everything? (08:22)
- Cynthia (email) - My husband, Tom, suffered a stroke in Nov 2019. He is paralyzed on his left side. (13:17)
- Robert (email) - When penitents enter the Reconciliation Room, are they supposed to have the option of (1) kneeling behind a screen to confess anonymously or (2) sitting in a chair across from the priest to confess face to face? (15:20)
- Joseph - If Christ died and is full atonement for our sins, then why do Catholics teach we can lose salvation and that we have to confess sins? (20:05)
