Summary
Patrick answers listener questions about Catholic teachings, shifting effortlessly between sacramental practices, the history of extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, and the significance of consecrated hands for distributing the Eucharist. He considers challenges in families when dealing with mixed religious practices, visions near the end of life, and the complexities of time and eternity.
- Wes (email) – You keep insisting remarried folks divorce their spouse, move out of their house to satisfy your desire that they not take a blessing from the priest at Mass. Why do you care so much? Why not just be present with the Lord at Mass? (00:35)
- Rafael - My wife and I are thinking about being Eucharistic ministers. What would you recommend to us to study/prep? Also, my niece’s family did a ritual over their baby. (04:20)
- Patrick gives a quick history lesson on Deacons and extraordinary ministers touching the Host (07:24)
- David - My mother has been seeing “people” in her bedroom. Saying the name of Jesus causes them to dissipate. (18:41)
- Todd - What do you think of communion for the homebound in terms of extraordinary ministers? (25:31)
- Catherine – What kind of people will we see in Purgatory and Heaven? Is it possible we will see our future grandchildren? (30:04)
- Lori (email) - Why I’m no longer an Extraordinary Minister of Communion (35:45)
- Aidan - Catholic courtship and marriage: how would a young adult take an approach to the traditional courtship leading to marriage? (37:28)
- Janice - About the women seeing things at night: We should pray for those people, because they could be a soul from Purgatory (43:12)
- Natalie - If God is outside of time, and we can go into a communion with him out of time in Heaven, could we at this moment be in Heaven? (47:30)

| 0:24.2 | Just before I do that, West in L.A. says, hey, Patrick, again, you insisted remarried folks, |
| 0:31.9 | divorce their spouse, move out of the house to satisfy your desire that they not take a blessing |
| 0:37.3 | from the priest at |
| 0:38.1 | Mass. Why do you care so much since nobody except the vigilant watchful Patrick can see whether |
| 0:43.4 | one is taking a blessing or the host? Why not just be present with the Lord at Mass? All right. |
| 0:48.4 | I'm not sure if you're being tongue in cheek, but I'll assume you're not. So A, I didn't insist that unmarried, that remarried folks |
| 0:56.8 | divorce their spouse. I didn't say that. What I said was really in response to the lady's |
| 1:02.2 | question, to find out whether that first marriage is valid. That's what everything hinges on |
| 1:10.0 | there. And so the church has what's called |
| 1:12.5 | the annulment process where you make that determination. So follow the logic here, Wes. |
| 1:16.6 | Follow. If the question is that your first marriage might be valid, and as Jesus said, |
| 1:26.0 | what God has joined together, let no man put asunder. |
| 1:28.4 | So the theology, and in particular the biblical theology of marriage as being insoluble, |
| 1:36.7 | means that if a couple is validly married, that if either one of them seeks to get remarried, |
| 1:41.9 | Jesus says repeatedly, they commit adultery, which is not a good |
| 1:46.3 | thing to do. It's not a good thing to do. So the church, because she cares so much about the importance |
| 1:53.1 | of marriage, is not trying to, you know, make people, make people's lives miserable, but to find out |
| 1:59.6 | if, in fact, they're free to get if in fact they're free to get married. |
