Summary
Patrick answers layered questions about Catholic tradition, everyday practices, and personal belief, moving from the biblical roots of the priesthood to thorny family matters around baptism, with listeners wrestling aloud over Mariology, church authority, and conversion doubts. He encourages persistent prayer, leans into Church history for answers, and points callers toward resources and guidance, even as the stories swirl with emotion, challenge, and the search for truth. A sense of immediacy infuses every exchange as Patrick stands with listeners at the intersection of doctrine and lived faith.
- Sandy – None of our grandchildren or children are practicing their faith. What is my role in helping the grandkids? (03:46)
- Debbie – I was born Jewish and started OCIA a while back. I’m not baptized because of questions I still have. Did Christ fulfill all the old prophecies? If not, were there any alterations from the prophecies? (09:11)
- Christine - My sister has a problem praying to Mary. She is wondering how can Mary hear and respond to all the people praying to her? (21:51)
- Matt - What is required by the Church for fasting? Should we do it every Friday outside of Lent, and also abstain from meat? (31:53)
- John Paul – Where in the bible does it say we should fast on Fridays? (40:08)

| 0:30.9 | melissa in waterloo iowa thank you for holding over the break sounds like you might have had a follow-up |
| 0:36.1 | question to what i was saying about the loss of holy orders among the different Protestant groups like Luther and Calvinist, |
| 0:43.3 | etc. So all I really had was that I just wanted to ask you for some of your best resources or |
| 0:53.6 | books on understanding the like the biblical roots of the |
| 0:58.1 | priesthood. I really, I really want to understand, you know, I guess I really want to understand |
| 1:04.4 | more about my faith, but that particular area, especially. Do you by chance have a catechism of the Catholic Church in your home? |
| 1:12.4 | Because if you don't, that's going to be the best place for, you want to read in the section |
| 1:19.8 | on the sacraments and then go specifically to the sacrament of holy orders. |
| 1:24.7 | And what's really helpful about the catechism is it quotes the church fathers, |
| 1:29.1 | it quotes papal encyclicals. I mean, of course, the main thing it quotes is the Bible. |
| 1:34.5 | But to support the biblical teaching, you can also see what the church father, St. Thomas |
| 1:39.1 | Aquinas and others said. So I would say that would be the go-to for this. However, I would also recommend a book |
| 1:46.1 | of conversion testimonies from Lutheran people who became Catholic, including a number of Lutheran |
| 1:52.3 | ministers. And the book is called There We Stood, Here We Stand, and it is edited by Tim Drake, who himself is a convert to the Catholic |
