Summary
Patrick answers questions on topics ranging from diabolical possession to parish registration, Catholic charities, and immigration through Aquinas’s lens, always keeping the conversation candid and current. He draws a line between spiritual and psychological explanations, addresses ethical concerns about workplace expenses, and examines boundaries in youth ministry when it comes to praying over minors. Throughout, Patrick weighs unrest about Islam’s growth, political upheaval involving the Pope, and patriotism’s place beneath a Catholic identity, urging honesty, faith, and discernment over outrage.
- Ty – Is there a paranormal aspect to 'gang-stalking'? (00:56)
- Mary - I think Catholic Charities is not under the Catholic Church. What did Thomas Aquinas say about immigration? We need to follow immigration laws. (07:41)
- Pete - I worked for Catholic Charities. Catholic Charities was never sold. There are 160 different agencies that all serve a diocese. (15:24)
- Kirby (email) - A good portion of your callers are delusional (21:14)
- Tim (email) - Companies do things all the time that are illegal and/or immoral, so personally, I wouldn't use them as my moral compass.
- Tom - Pope Leo said that Muslims and Christians should live together side by side in peace. Does he understand who Muslims are? The Islam religion is wrong. It’s the only religion where you can get murdered for leaving the faith. (26:10)
- Paul - Do we have authority to pray over teens in Confirmation class? (33:21)
- Jared – How, as an American Catholic, do I handle being discouraged by the current administration?
