• Henry in CA asks why we have the cross in every church if we believe that Jesus rose from the dead? Why not a resurrection statue? Patrick shares what Archbishop Fulton Sheen once said, “Keep your eyes on the crucifix, for Jesus without the Cross is a man without a mission. And the Cross without Jesus is a burden without a reliever.”

Patrick excoriates a new California bill under legislative consideration that would force Catholic Health Care Institutions to perform abortions, sterilizations, sex-change surgeries, and other immoral procedures. Patrick predicts, if successful, this infringement on people’s consciences is yet another example of the state sacrificing the welfare of poor people on the altar of their aberrant ideologies.
