Summary
Patrick explores the history and challenges of the Catholic Church in Mexico, tracing the shift from a nearly universal Catholic identity to intense government persecution and connecting Enlightenment influences to these dramatic changes. Listeners call with personal stories of family resistance during the Cristero era, while questions about sacraments, faith routines, and the Vatican’s handling of Church matters in China prompt frank exchanges. In the midst of heavy history, Patrick debates Catholic comedians, workplace faith moments, and why keeping memories alive matters for everyone listening.
- Tony - Today is the Feast of the Cristeros. What is the connection between the Cristeros and Enlightenment? Here’s a link to Patrick’s talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z__ti5BiQz0 (00:55)
- Here’s a link to Patrick and Fr. Schmitz’s debate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtRkdoF_siY
- Zoila – The grandmother of a friend carried ammunition to the Cristeros in Mexico. (31:35)
- Tim (email) – I told a young man he can only be baptized once. Did I do the right thing? (38:08)
- Anne - I am on Day 46 of a novena. Do I have to start my novena over if I missed a day? (43:43)
- Irene - Where does the Church stand with the CCP in China electing bishops? (47:17)
