Patrick fields raw questions on marital intimacy after vasectomy, the impact of medical procedures on Catholic marriages, and real concerns about forgiveness, restitution, and Church teaching. He answers doubts about faith translations, uncovers the real story behind the brown scapular, and clears the confusion when Catholic voices seem at odds, letting honesty and doctrine take the lead. Without sidestepping the pain of marital trials, he cuts to the heart of what fidelity and sacrificial love cost and offers practical, grounded wisdom for Catholics wrestling in the thick of it.
- Michael (email) - I had a vasectomy about 14 years ago. Does this mean we cannot have intercourse? (00:36)
- Steve - I had a vasectomy. Can I still complete the marriage act since I can't have kids? (07:11)
- Josh – Why do we say 'For us men and for our salvation.' In Latin and German, however, it translates to “for us people”. Why don’t we include all in the English translation? (11:05)
- Tris - Can you give a little more clarification about the verbal promise of the scapular? (17:57)
- Mary - What if a man is unable to be with his wife intimately? Can he use medication to remove impedance? (27:21)
- April - Is the threat of hell a form of black mail? I doubt it exists. (40:55)
- Cindy - The woman who was struggling with intimacy with her husband. I have been through something similar with my husband and wanted to share my thoughts. (46:34)
