Summary
From discussing the recent confusion surrounding baptism for same-sex couples and transgender individuals, to addressing concerns about the handling of Holy Communion by a priest with a cold, Patrick provides insightful and informative responses. Plus, we explore the intriguing concept of the messianic secret and why Jesus encouraged some witnesses of his miracles to remain silent.
- Joseph - Why did God tolerate polygamy in the Old Testament?
- Agnes - How does Adam and Eve's creation fit in with ancient people who have a history going back 7000 or 8000 years?
- Dave - What do you think about extraordinary ministers?
- Dawn - What do you think about the allowing baptisms for gay couples and transgender couples? (24:10)
- Ed - I took your advice and spoke with a priest who let the lay people take communion straight from the bowl and found that he had a cold that day so he didn't want to spread it to other people.
- Kevin - Why did Jesus tell people not to spread His name around when He heals them?
- Patrick recommends the book, “Diary of a Pilgrimage” by Egeria
- Alyssa - What is the Church’s stance on the transgender movement? I talked with a woman who said that the Church doesn't hold to men being men and women being women anymore. (38:10)
- Christine - There was a Bishop who called for female deacons and a woman said she was already a deacon in the Hebrew Catholic Church.
- Martha - My daughter has been away from the Church for a while and recently wanted to start reading the bible. Is there a good bible studies for my daughter?
- Sue - Thank you for everything you did for me Patrick. After talking with the priest you recommended, I went outside and saw the sun but I felt the Son.

| 0:33.8 | Hello, Joseph. |
| 0:44.1 | Hello, Joseph. Hello, Joseph. Oh, sorry about that. I was on mute. Hey, Patrick. |
| 0:53.6 | I thank you for taking my call. I was curious why it seems like in the Old Testament, God is, I guess, |
| 0:58.1 | for lack of a better word, is permissive of polygamy, but we know in the beginning it was not so. It wasn't like that, probably even in the times of the gospel and especially |
| 1:02.6 | not today. So especially like, you know, with David and Jacob, I mean, they had God's anointing. |

| 1:41.0 | And he goes into this discussion about the nature of marriage. And so then in verse |
| 1:45.8 | seven, they said to him, why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to put her |
| 1:50.5 | away? Verse eight, he said to them, for the hardness of your heart, Moses allowed you to divorce your |
