Summary
Patrick welcomes listeners with pressing questions about Catholic family life, confronting topics like political influences in Catholic schools, preserving childhood innocence, and whether yoga should play any part in a Catholic’s day. He fields calls with practical, faith-rooted answers, sharing stories from his own childhood and exploring the tough choices parents and grandparents face as modern challenges creep into classrooms. Thoughtful advice and honest discussion await anyone seeking clarity on raising faithful kids today.
- Magda (email) – My daughter’s Catholic school religious teacher is bringing up politics and pushing liberal agendas (01:09)
- Maria - Should we be telling our kids that children don't commit mortal sins? (09:08)
- David - Liberal teachings and life have always been part of everyday life. (15:57)
- Sandra - I heard you mention yoga. My instructor is now injecting things about the divine in the lessons. Should I continue to go? (23:08)
- Elizabeth - During mass, the priest says, 'in union with Leo our Pope'. If a priest is offering Mass in Rome, what does he say and what does the Pope say? (31:50)
- Laurie - I feel like the woman unhappy with class teaching should know that if it is the school's curriculum she should call the bishop. If this is just one teacher, then she should tell the principal. (34:38)
- Susan - I disagree with caller who says liberalism is not taught. My friend's grandchild’s teacher said that her son could marry another boy. (37:39)
- Denise - My daughter's girl has a teacher who told her that boys can marry boys and girls can marry girls. My daughter refuses to tell me should I ask my granddaughter. (44:40)
