Summary
Patrick answers questions about scrupulosity, church authority on fasting, and the controversy within the Book of Mormon. He addresses callers' concerns about justice regarding the Epstein files and explores struggles with illness and faith by sharing stories and recommending saints. The discussion jumps between practical advice, personal stories, and moments of spiritual insight as Patrick looks at Abraham’s trust and the uniqueness of Christ’s sacrifice.
- Darwin (email) - Can you expand on what scrupulosity is? (00:35)
- Mary Anne - What do you tell people who are Mormon or interesting in becoming Mormon? (05:59)
- Luis - Why do we not eat meat on Ash Wednesday or Good Friday? It doesn't say this in the Bible, according to my coworkers. (11:29)
- Carmen - Why hasn't Patrick talked about the Epstein files? Aren't we as Catholics supposed to talk about this? (18:41)
- Christopher - I am in OCIA right now. I have heard that Jesus is spotless. What makes Jesus's sacrifice more important than others? (26:11)
- Phyllis - My friend has OCD. She seems scrupulous about taking God's name in vain. How can I help her? (30:25)
- Alex – Today’s Gospel reading; what does Jesus mean by carrying your cross but then says to have faith in another passage? (36:12)
- Lili - God doesn't ask anything from us that he wouldn't give to us as well. It reminds me of the Crucifixion. (46:25)
