Patrick answers tough questions from callers, weighing in on Harry Potter’s place in Catholic homes, differences between fantasy series, and the concerns around fascination with the occult. He fields thoughts on the origins of “Roman Catholic,” whether calling oneself “Judeo Roman Catholic” makes sense, and sorts through confusion about Jewish and Hebrew identities with historical insights and recommended resources. With callers pressing for clarity on topics from biblical symbolism to church teaching, Patrick keeps the conversation brisk, heartfelt, and unapologetically honest.

 

• Rose - Should Catholic parents allow kids to read Harry Potter and why? (01:03)
• Robert - Assimilation issue with Muslims: How did the United State become how it is today? (07:44)
• Debbie - When the caller talks about being Judeo Catholic, that could be confused with following Old Testament Laws. (22:01)
• Gebman - Psalm 75 uses the word horns. What does this mean? Does it mean “strength”? (35:46)
• Irma - I find it interesting that the earlier caller, Robert, calls himself a Judeo Christian. I thought the Old Testament was for the Jews and the New Testament was for the Gentiles. (37:16)
• Madeline - Is there a specific prayer that you are supposed to pray to St. Jude to get the benefits of his intercession? 2nd question: Can someone kill themselves and not go to hell? (43:23)
