Summary
Patrick answers questions about Catholic traditions, from consecrating homes, the boundaries of interfaith participation, and why priesthood is restricted to men, all while weaving in audience reflections about the effects of violence in media and games, personal anecdotes, and advice for gently inviting friends back to faith.
- Jordin - How does a common person consecrate themselves to St. Joseph? (00:32)
- Lucy (11-years-old) - What is your opinion on violence in video games? (02:42)
- Gianna (10-years-old) - Why can’t girls be priests? (07:16)
- Sarah - If someone asks you to be a Godparent for a non-Catholic Christian religion, is that ok? Can Catholics celebrate Hanukkah? (12:13)
- George - What can I write to my friends about the Woman at the well? I am trying to motivate Catholic friends who are not practicing. (17:01)
- *Elena (email) - We were surrounded by violent shows, but I don't recall anyone freaking out about it. It was normal. And no one (or at least not many) turned out to be violent. What's the difference today? (21:56)
- Patrick and Cyrus talk about the dangers of violent video games and movies (25:16)
- Rae – We grew up respecting guns. These days, children don’t have that training. (34:38)
- David – We watched Bugs Bunny cartoons where there was violence and we turned out ok. (37:22)
- Heidi - I have a friend who was raised Catholic and not been to Church for several years. How can I convince her she does need to go to Confession? (38:08)
- Tom - I am seeking wisdom and insight. Is it a legitimate motivation to seek these things to avoid misery? (43:15)
