Summary
Patrick opens this hour reflecting on faith through listeners’ mysterious visions, questions about Church practices, and the subtle challenges of returning to Catholic life. He moves between thoughtful advice on confirmation age and respectful handling of cremation, then jumps to lighter moments like the age-old debate over pew etiquette. Everyday stories, unexpected spiritual encounters, and nuanced Church teachings all blend together in his lively, sincere style.
- Patrick continues his conversation with Doug from the end of the last hour. Doug had some disturbing visions. He’s asking Patrick if he should talk to a priest about this troubling experience. (02:33)
- Christine (email) - Please lay out your stance on being "for" children to be confirmed at a younger age than High School? (19:37)
- Jill - My children and I were driving to Mass and I saw that half a moon was black and other half was normal. There was a spiral that I saw on the tip of the moon that went all the way down. (24:59)
- Michael - I am a member of the diocese of Gallup. Bishop Wall is a good friend of mine. I read this letter as a lector to the congregation. I support returning to the old way. (29:41)
- Bishop Wall’s letter, “The Gift of the Father: Pastoral Letter from the Most Reverend James Sean Wall on the Restoration of the Order of the Sacraments of Initiation” (32:23)
- Linda - My mother died recently and my brothers want to split the ashes among us. I am against this. What am I supposed to do? (41:40)
- Steve - How should we expect people on end of pew to scoot in for latecomers? (48:25)
