Patrick takes heartfelt questions from callers wrestling with scrupulosity, confession anxiety, and misunderstandings about Catholic teaching on celibacy and sin. He shares practical wisdom, weaving in scripture and personal encouragement, as listeners reveal their own struggles with temptation, family faith conflicts, and daily spiritual challenges. His perspective brings clarity and reassurance to those unsure about where they stand with God or how to approach difficult conversations in faith.
- Laura (email) - I'm not sure if I am behaving too scrupulous or not. (00:44)
- Jim - My son went to a Baptism where there was a married priest. This confuses me. I feel discouraged that married men can't become priests. (11:49)
- Patricia - Is the Farmer's Almanac demonic? (21:16)
- Allan - What is the Theotokos? Is Mary divine? (25:21)
- Nick - My Church offers confession every day. If I have a strong temptation, is that appropriate to take to confession? (27:52)
- Pat - You said that priests cannot marry because of their choice. Do married priests still have to practice celibacy and can they get remarried? (37:43)
- Maria - I am trying to evangelize a Muslim, and he does believe He is a prophet. How do I explain to Muslims that Jesus died and rose again? (45:11)
