Summary
Patrick explores the uneasy mix of technology and privacy, scrutinizing the spread of license plate cameras and asking how far society should go for safety while exposing the subtle risks of constant surveillance, even venturing into stories of public pushback and legal gray areas. He threads in glimpses of Catholic life, from natural family planning to the unexpected issues arising in interfaith families, never shying from questions of conscience or odd historical footnotes like Prohibition’s wine bricks.
- More Flock cameras cut down in Houston amid some privacy concerns (00:45)
- Tom - We were both on the board of Dominican School of Theology. I met you at the meeting. I was frustrated because I couldn't get a Master's degree. I think you went and talked to the President. I got a Master's degree because of you. (11:28)
- Wine Bricks
- Joanna - Is marriage valid if the couple decides not to have children because of their age? (20:05)
- Elizabeth - I want to thank you for talking about the SSPX. It has been very helpful for me because I was raised sedevacantist. (28:44)
- Jeanne - NFP is not used only for preventing pregnancy. It actually helps a woman's cycle and can aid in getting pregnant. (33:04)
- John (email) - As a retired State Trooper, I can tell you that most cameras you see at intersections are not for surveillance. (38:02)
- Lisa - My husband and I are looking for a home. There is a house that was previously a Church for sale (may be nondenominational). Can we buy it? (43:32)
- Gaby - My sister is married to a Muslim man. She did not raise her kids Catholic. Her son is getting married. Should I attend the wedding? (46:42)
