Summary
Patrick answers raw, honest questions about faith, history, and living Catholic conviction in today’s world, threading together stories about crucifixion, the meaning of ashes, AI’s place beside the story of Babel, and choices around burial and belief. Listeners call in with personal struggles, whether wrestling with interfaith relationships, what Catholic teaching says about cremation, or the anxiety of being in mortal sin before Communion.
- Dave - When did the Cross become a symbol of Christianity? Is this why the Roman’s used crucifixion as a form of torture? (01:06)
- Micah - God stopped the building of the Tower of Babel. Why hasn't God stopped AI and technology? (07:18)
- Bill - I don't want to scatter ashes for my stepdad. Both his son and I don't want to scatter his ashes. Are we morally obligated to follow his wishes? (13:34)
- Courtney - The appeal of ashes being spread is more about letting their energy go out to the world. Just look at it under the microscope and it will amaze you. (22:28)
- Danny - If you show up to Confession and you can't get through the line, can you still receive Communion? (29:36)
- Aidan - I just returned to the Church and am dating a Jewish woman. How can we proceed as she is not interested in becoming a Christian? (34:09)
- Kevin - What happened to the Old Covenant and why? (43:11)
