Patrick explores questions from listeners about the “Flame of Love” devotion, tackles the discernment of Church-approved practices, and offers candid, faithful advice on friendships, family, and Catholic life. Between fielding calls about parish trends, guiding parents on teen dances, and responding to big questions with both humor and seriousness, Patrick manages a lively, unpredictable show where faith and reality intersect. Even birthday wishes and mariachi jokes make an appearance, keeping the conversation moving fast and full of surprises.

 

• Annemarie - The Flame of Love Devotion at my parish changes the Hail Mary. They pray this at my Church. Is this wrong? (00:37)
• Fay - I went to a retreat that didn’t seem Catholic. They were doing praise and worship. Was this wrong? Do you have any advice? (06:13)
• Jim - What was the first moral lesson that Jesus taught? (11:17)
• Grace - What can I do about stopping people from receiving Communion? (12:55)
• Gracie (email) – Was Charlie really a racist? (21:11)
• Michael (email) - I can't wait to one day call in, lead off my call with a rehearsed mariachi whistle, and fail epically in front of "just you and millions of people listening."
• James (email) - Thank you for mentioning that I should pray to my guardian angel to cleanse my memory.  It brought me a lot of peace yesterday! (26:31)
• Annie (email) - I think words can be violent. Such as verbal abuse. We were verbally abused by our father. He regularly called us names when he was unhappy with us or just to make fun of us. So, do you agree that words can sometimes be violent? (30:40)
• Nicole - Is it ok for my daughter to go to a school dance with a non-Catholic boy? Should she go with a group or by herself? (32:41)
• Clarisa (email) - I felt very compelled to reach out to you after listening to your show yesterday. It was brought up whether or not it was appropriate to speak about our dear brother, Charlie Kirk at the pulpit. Well, I would have liked to have it done at our Mass over the weekend. (39:59)
• Patrick comments on the people who celebrated Kirk’s murder on their social media are being fired from their jobs
