Summary
Patrick guides listeners through questions on Catholic teaching, from private revelations, true Church authority, to what happens to souls who never heard the Gospel, like ancient Aztecs. He talks to folks returning to faith amid family challenges, the nature of mortal sin and personal struggle, and gives compassionate counsel to an aunt wrestling with her godchild’s abortion, balancing mercy and truth.
- The Problem with Private Revelations (00:31)
- Grayson (12-years-old) – I’m baptized Catholic, but my parents put me in a Lutheran School. I’m trying to convince my parents to get back to Catholic Church. (07:06)
- James (10-years-old) - What happens to the people that were not taught God’s word? Where do they go when they die? (11:12)
- Alonzo - A priest on retreat said mortal sin is very rare. Is that something taught in the faith? (20:56)
- *Jennifer - My niece, who is also my godchild, had an abortion last week and I am going to get together with her to talk to her about it. I need advice on what to say. (28:46)
- Julie - You advised us to pray for the faith lives of our kids and we did. Our son-in-law entered the Church this past April! (36:32)
- Emily – Do we believe in the same God as Muslims? (46:22)

| 0:30.3 | Now, I just thought it might be a good idea to take a moment and rehearse. |
| 0:34.8 | What does the Catholic Church teach about private revelation? And there are different, |
| 0:41.8 | you might say, grades of certainty about private revelation. Not everybody who says, |
| 0:46.1 | guess what? Our lady appeared to me and told me X, Y, or Z, is telling the truth. The person |
| 0:52.0 | might be sincerely convinced that it's true, but it doesn't mean it is true. |
| 0:56.3 | So I'm not suggesting that the person is lying, but there are a million and one people out there |
| 1:03.2 | who claim to have received locutions, revelations, visions, etc., from Jesus Jesus, Mary, et cetera, who have not? |
