Listen Later

Patrick takes raw calls from people wrestling with grief, troubling media images, and the tangled accusations swirling around Kirk’s legacy. Patrick brings clarity and perspective, breaking down the context behind controversial clips, examining claims of racism, and weaving in Catholic responses of prayer and forgiveness. Amid confusion and unrest, Patrick moves the discussion toward truth, growth, and how even tragedy sparks unexpected conversions and moments of faith.

 

  • Michelle - I am confused. We are talking a lot about Charlie Kirk. What if a gay or trans person came to your Catholic Church and wanted to serve in the Church. What would Patrick do? (00:43)
  • Estelita (email) - I am one of those who have seen the shooting through the internet unfiltered and uncensored, and it has stirred something in me that I am trying to process. Could you give us, who have seen this clip, your thoughts to help us go through this horrendous event? (04:56)
  • Wally - How I feel as a Catholic immigrant black woman from Cameroon that has been in America for 25 years.  Kirk has said hateful things about my race and other minorities.  When people die, I don't focus on the good.  I concentrate on prayers for purgatory. (13:23)
  • Audio: A black woman posts her thoughts about Charlie Kirk “he was showing a lot of people who were blind to wake up”. I followed him very closely and he is not racist. (17:41)
  • Audio: I can’t find the racist statements that people are posting (3 black commentators talk about how Charlie Kirk was not racist) (28:46)
  • Audio: Same 3 black commentators share clips of Charlie Kirk debating a woman about how blacks are not better off now than they were 80 years ago
  • Patrick shares the entire Charlie Kirk quote that’s been taken out of context about “gun deaths are unfortunately worth it to keep the 2nd Amendment.” (33:16)
  • Joshua – Is the soul of Charlie Kirk still alive, like when Jesus raised Lazarus? (39:44)
  • Jose - Hearing Charlie Kirk has made me want to be a better Christian. (44:49)
  • Kim - I've been praying for my sons to come back to the faith. I think they are being led by Charlie Kirk to come back to the faith.  It’s given me hope. (48:21)
  • Nader - I'm a truck driver, and prayer life is helping me (49:40)
