Summary
Patrick answers listener questions about confession, how and how much to gift a priest who blesses your home, can blaspheme against the Holy Spirit be forgiven, and if it’s moral to not honor the last wishes of a dying loved one if their wish goes against Church teaching
- Lori - My mom has dementia. Can she go to confession if she can't remember her sins? She says she wants to go.
- Brian - We had a priest bless our home. Is there a traditional amount of money one would give in thanks for this service?
- Chris - What would a second plenary indulgence do for someone?
- Ron - Have you heard about the book “Domestic Extremist” by a woman who is a recent convert to the Church? I think it is great tool for people.
- Betty - Indulgences and prayer Cards: If someone dies in mortal sin, will it matter how many Mass Card and indulgences they have?
- Victoria - Should I follow my atheist family's wishes if they become unconscious and put in a hospital?
- Mark - Can blaspheme against the Holy Spirit be forgiven?
- Paul - Does a soul that is damned have a type of purgatory before they enter hell?
- Mary - What should I do about my career? I became Catholic recently and work for a very left wing newspaper. Should I keep working there?

| 0:31.1 | oakland california good morning lorry hello i have a question about confession. |
| 0:39.9 | My mom hasn't been to confession for years, and she now has dementia. |
| 0:47.9 | And every time I've asked her, would you like to go to confession? |
| 0:51.9 | In the past, she said no, no. |
| 0:55.5 | And then finally she said, yes, I would like to go to confession, In the past, she said, no, no. And then finally she said, |
| 1:00.0 | yes, I would like to go to confession, but I don't remember anything. And she really doesn't remember anything. Like, I don't even know if I took her to confession if she'd remember she had gone. |
