Patrick fields questions with candor, moving from heated debates about Israel, Gaza, and the ethics of war to explaining Gregorian Masses and prayers for those outside the Catholic faith, pulling in biblical sources and Church tradition. He talks about immigration, subsidiarity, and what the Church really teaches about Jews and the state of Israel while weaving in calls about rock bands and memories of misspent youth. Listeners get an hour of unexpected exchanges and grounded Catholic insights punctuated by both humor and sincerity.
