Summary
Patrick unpacks the roots of Catholicism and Islam in America, mixes in practical dating strategies, and fields questions on confession, tradition, and finding the right parish with clarity and candor. Stories of real struggles and honest advice flow as listeners call in about love, faith, and how to stay true when uncertainty hits. Direct, down-to-earth, never skipping the tough moments, Patrick keeps listeners grounded while challenging them to move forward.
- Adelso (email) - hen did Catholicism first become known in the United States? Additionally, when did Islam become known here in the USA? (00:50)
- Preston (email) - How do you know when you’ve found a good mate? Do I need to convert before I’ll ever find someone for me? What do I need to do to be a good husband and father? (04:41)
- Cindy - Why did the Catholic Church get rid of closed Confessionals? (11:45)
- Robert -You only gave 50% of the answer to Preston’s email. I think this guy needs to make himself more marketable to women. (15:11)
- Anthony - My life-long friend committed suicide yesterday. What can I do? (21:29)
- Barbara - I think the bishops keep confusing legal and illegal immigration. I think Illegals are breaking the law. I see illegal immigrants as committing mass thievery. (32:02)
- Anna - On the gentleman who wants to meet someone: It’s important for men to be clean cut. Is he presenting himself in a clean manner. This is what I say as a mother and grandmother. (37:57)
- Sylvia - What do I do once I complete a First Friday devotion? (39:51)
- Carl (email) - On a rebroadcast of your show I head you mention that Lents concludes with the completion of the Mass of the Lords Supper on Holy Thursday…does that mean I can hit the In and Out Burger drive-thru on Good Friday? (46:58)

| 0:17.7 | You do not know what you are talking about. |
| 0:20.6 | I'll see you about that. Welcome back, know what you are talking about. Well, let's see about it. Welcome back. |

| 0:29.0 | I'm here for you. Here to help if I can. 88-914-9-149-49. And emails, we have plenty of those. |
| 0:37.2 | Let's get to some of them while people are calling in right now and getting ready to go on the air. This one comes from Adelso. He says, when did Catholicism first become known in the United States? And when did Islam become known here in the U.S.? You are my sole trustworthy resource. Thank you. Well, i'm deeply honored that you would feel that way |
| 0:55.9 | i'm here to help if i can and so i'll tackle your two questions the first one is the answer the |
| 1:03.0 | first one is as far as i know there was no catholic presence in the united well, what would become the United States. |
| 1:13.0 | It wasn't the United States at that time. But in what would now be considered the territory |
| 1:18.9 | of the United States was in 1565 when the Spaniards arrived in what is the area of St. Augustine, Florida. So this is well before the time of the pilgrims, |
| 1:32.1 | years before the time of the Puritans arriving in Massachusetts. And so the Catholics were here, |
| 1:39.5 | or there in that case, and celebrating Mass and establishing a colonial outpost. |
| 1:46.9 | And so to my knowledge, that's the earliest presence of Catholics in what we now think of as the United States. |
| 1:54.0 | Now, there were Spaniards, Catholic Spaniards and Portuguese and others who were in the New World before that. |
| 2:03.1 | But since your question is specifically about what is known as the United States, that's the answer that I have for you. Now, when did |
| 2:10.1 | Islam become known here in the U.S.? Now, that's a question I don't know the answer to. If, by that, |
| 2:15.0 | you mean like when was the first mosque built or opened in the |
| 2:21.3 | United States perhaps Cyrus you can look that up for me I don't know I don't I have no |
| 2:25.2 | knowledge about that whatsoever I'm sure it was quite a bit later and the way you |
| 2:32.0 | worded the question also suggests that you what you might mean is when did people in the United States become aware of Islam? Well, they were aware of it, even if only vaguely from the very beginning. People who were educated, they knew about Islam. They knew about things like the Crusades or they knew about Muhammad, things like that. |
