Patrick answers questions of faith and culture, shifting between the subtle difference of healthy pride in loved ones and the danger of arrogance, then wrestling with the choice to support artists whose beliefs clash with Catholic values. The conversation moves through Church controversies, stark reflections on abortion responsibility between men and women, and the uncertainty swirling around cross-border relationships found online. Expect sharp turns, candid opinions, and a balance of gravity and humor as Patrick keeps the discussion moving.
