Summary
Patrick answers listener questions about NFP, what happened to people who lived and died before Christ who were not baptized, and he comments on how the pandemic has changed some of our personalities
- Amber (00:33) – Is practicing NFP a sin?
- Amid the Pandemic, Progress in Catholic Schools - Enrollment and student achievement are rising, thanks in part to parents.
- Did the pandemic change your personality?
- Tom (22:40) - People are pushing gender ideologies in public schools instead of reading and writing. This seems like a reason why Catholic Schools are better.
- Robert - What happened to all the people before Christ who were not baptized? I think that when they are born they are born of the water, and then born of the spirit is when they except Christ into their lives.
- Chilling AI development means that robots can now talk to animals – and we might be able to next
- Robert - You helped me want to stay in the Church when I was thinking about leaving! What do you think about the Hans Urs von Balthasar theory about maybe no one is in hell?
