Patrick explores the uneasy mix of technology and privacy, scrutinizing the spread of license plate cameras and asking how far society should go for safety while exposing the subtle risks of constant surveillance, even venturing into stories of public pushback and legal gray areas. He threads in glimpses of Catholic life, from natural family planning to the unexpected issues arising in interfaith families, never shying from questions of conscience or odd historical footnotes like Prohibition’s wine bricks.
