Patrick brings listeners right into the real decisions confronting Catholic families, including grappling with difficult family relationships and the call to protect children’s innocence. He fields blunt questions on Church authority, women and the priesthood, Holy Communion crises, and IVF, weaving in his own stories and unapologetic opinions while keeping the conversation engaging and honest.
