Summary
Patrick answers questions from listeners about matters of faith, church rules, and the hard edges of daily morality. Calls about sweat lodges, unmarried couples living together, and how to handle occult items take the spotlight, while a debate about supporting war brings intensity. He jumps between quick-fire exchanges on happiness versus pleasure, sharing honest advice and disarming candor, all while keeping a sharp Catholic perspective.
- Brendan - Can I go to a Native American ceremony? (00:43)
- Michael (email) – Comment about the feud between President Trump and Pope Leo (04:11)
- Irene - Why is it okay for gay couples to live as brother and sister but not okay for a couple in their 80s to live together? (07:29)
- John - Every time you talk about sexuality it seems that the gays always get picked on but I don't hear anything about masturbation. Doesn't the Church teach that this is just as serious a sin? (24:10)
- Nick - Why doesn’t anyone talk about who is dying in the Ukraine and Russia war? Why aren’t the white Christian men being killed in this war being talked about? (29:10)
- Tim (email) - Please reflect on the difference between happiness and joy
- Eric - Should I get rid of the tarot deck that my friend gave me? He is deceased and it is like a memento for me. (39:27)
