Summary
Patrick explores everything from the legacy of Pope Pius XII (including his actions toward Jews in World War II) to nuanced questions about priestly vocations, altar servers, and the details of Catholic liturgy. He answers questions about daily Mass devotions, kneeling protocols, what qualifies someone for sainthood, and what families can do when parents hesitate to baptize their children. Personal stories, raw questions, even discussions of movies like What About Bob—all swirl together, challenging and comforting anyone seeking answers in the modern Catholic experience.
- Nathaniel (12-years-old) - What do you think of Pope Pius XII? Some people thought he was bad but there is new information saying he helped the Jews. (00:42)
- Tom - What does the Church teach on ordaining gay priests or those with gay tendencies. (03:37)
- Sandy - I am 85 and am still working and I am looking forward to retirement. (21:50)
- Paul - If I attend Saturday vigil, does that count for the 1st Saturday devotion if I can't attend morning mass? (26:33)
- Richard - A man who is gay and wants to be a priest, and decides to be celibate, Catholic priesthood seems like the perfect place for him. (29:58)
- Linda - Are Catholic churches allowed to not have any kneelers in the pews? (35:54)
- Al - Graduation masses: is it appropriate during the Mass to bring other gifts to the altar area that are symbols for grads (like textbooks etc.)? (41:45)
- Margie – I want to get our grandchildren baptized. (47:16)
- Gina - Does a person have to be incorruptible to be considered for the cause for Sainthood to be opened? Do they have to be dead to start cause? (50:00)
