Patrick fields candid questions on marriage and Catholic teaching, tackles the challenge of a cross-dressing parishioner at Mass, and dispels myths about annulments and legitimacy, all with a balance of clarity and humor. He answers queries on the meaning behind kneeling and standing during Mass, shares insights from canon law, and jokes with listeners about the quirks of live radio. Humble moments, tradition, and tough conversations—the unexpected keeps coming.
