Patrick brings pressing questions about recent changes to the NRSVue Catholic Bible, where shifting language around homosexuality sparks concern and listener debate. He reads reports, unpacks scholarly context, and considers the consequences for Catholic teaching, while callers urge action and inquire about everything from writing the Pope to understanding the deeper impact on faith life. The discussion rolls between tough biblical scholarship critiques and practical advice for families, sometimes pausing for quirky side notes and always encouraging listeners to think harder.
