Summary

Patrick shares how to approach prayers for the Pope's intentions, and fields personal stories from callers about Catholic school discipline, from rulers, laughter, and respect. He moves between callers wrestling with faith, parish engagement, and the journey for Protestant ministers seeking ordination, drawing from memories that bounce between gentle humor and old wounds.

Javier - What if the Holy Father is an anti-Pope? Will the plenary indulgence still count? (01:16)
Rita - I think how Catholic schools used to operate affects why so many adults don't follow the faith: There used to be a lot of corporal punishment. (03:42)
Stuart - I want to comment about being a fair-weather Catholic vs committed Catholics. Could a Protestant seminarian become a priest? (08:36)
George - Regarding the sisters who taught at the elementary schools; I support the nuns. Some were overly ambitious, but on the whole, it was not like that. (20:53)
Warren - I went to public School, and I got smacked and paddled. The principal owned a paddle and called it 'The Holy Ghost'. (24:21)
Patrick shares some emails that have come in about getting “whacked” at school by nuns
Judy – Comment on experiences in Catholic Schools regarding nuns with rulers. (28:57)
Frank – Have you ever seen the Alfred Hitchcock program 'The Final Vow' about heroic sisters?
Pamela – It’s good to put into consideration that there were no teacher aides and there were 50-60 kids in a classroom. The Nuns had a lot on her plate. (36:39)
Jackie - The sisters that taught me were brutal. My husband didn’t have that same experience. (39:58)
Mary Ann - I went through Catholic grammar school and college. Holy Cross nuns here never gave anyone a whack. They were great. (42:24)
Janet (email) – What is your personal view of parishioners who fall asleep during Mass? (44:10)
Frank - I like the Patrick Madrid show and am a US Marine. Sacred Heart and Franciscan nuns are the best and they prepared me for boot camp. (47:47)
