Patrick explores the odd world of online witchcraft trends on Etsy, then moves thoughtfully through listener questions about sacramentals like the brown scapular, fertility awareness methods, and even the acceptability of acupuncture for Catholics. He addresses the Church’s preference for burial over cremation with a personal perspective and takes time to comfort a grieving mother returning to faith.
- Etsy Witches Charge for Curses (00:55)
- Andrew - I can't remember if I was enrolled in the brown scapular or not. Can I be re-enrolled? (10:09)
- Kayla - Is acupuncture an okay medical practice? Is this occult? (18:19)
- Cindy - Thank you Patrick! I am in the Lutheran Church and have learned so much about the Lord and the Bible because of you! Should I be buried or cremated? (24:26)
- Annie - My daughter passed away and they cremated her. Will a person who is cremated not go to heaven? I never baptized my daughter. My mother said she baptized her. (37:29
- Kurt - How do we juggle what the Church teaches about committing a sin and meeting the conditions of mortal sin? Is this a relativist way of thinking? (49:37)
