Summary
Patrick answers questions about the morality of venting frustrations, the duty to attend Mass while traveling, and grappling with a digital music collection acquired through file sharing (stealing). Advice flows freely: confession, giving alms, and the value of conscience all come up, interspersed with stories of real families attempting to steer their grandchildren away from tattoos. Surprising Gallup poll results spark hope amid cultural fragmentation, and Patrick listens as callers reflect on division, unity, and the restless hunger for God in a distracted age.
- Lauren (email) - Is expressing my frustration about a family member or coworker's actions to another considered gossip? Also, when traveling, should you find and attend the nearest parish to fulfill your Sunday obligation? (01:20)
- Matt - Is downloading music a sin? What should I do now? Should I delete the files? (06:49)
- Jane - I have experience with stem cells. Doctors in my area do not use fetal cells. (15:31)
- Young men grow more religious, widening gender gap - https://apnews.com/article/religion-church-evangelical-men-women-poll-f2b07f8d5e0e29b7b75334a8b2bbd3a6
- Mimi - I am giving my grandkid's $1000 a year if they are tattoo free (27:16)
- Nancy - I think there is a spirit of chaos and that is why you have President and Pope conflict. Everyone is choosing sides and that is not what we should do. (34:47)
