Summary
Patrick answers pressing questions about reverence and posture at Mass, and clears up confusion on blessings and tradition. He tackles misunderstandings around Vatican II, eating meat, and cultural customs while always centering the discussion on Christ and authentic faith. Listeners hear stories of everyday belief, gaining clarity and conviction in Catholic practice.
- Laurie - I was listening to Relevant Radio before car wash and got my car wash free! (00:40)
- Tony – The caller John said that he would bless people with the Eucharist in his hand, but he lacks authority. Lay people can't do this. (03:37)
- C.J. – What do you mean, it has been wrong since 1970 to kneel to receive Communion? (06:58)
- Cody - I have heard that the Our Father has to be prayed in Latin and that any priest or bishop who doesn’t pray it in Latin is a heretic. (15:02)
- Cordelia (email) - My understanding (and I think a lot of others) was that the elderly gentleman caller this morning asked about simply kneeling to receive communion, and not about crawling on your knees all the way down the aisle to receive communion (which I agree would be a huge distraction) (21:34)
- Amy - When we build an altar at a conference center for retreat, should we bow in reverence? (24:05)
- Daniel - Is it appropriate to genuflect on one knee before receiving the Eucharist? (27:56)
- Steve - Keeping our focus on Christ, we should make praising God primary and not our personal preference or input. You are trying to pick it apart from your experience. (32:21)
- Joseph - I rejected a Hindu offering and the Hindu priest said I am a hypocrite. How do you respond to this? (36:05)
- Karalee - Have you ever read “Revisiting Vatican II”, and what is your take on it? (45:05)
