Patrick answers listener questions about the Sign of the Cross, what it means to be a Godfather, why do we classify churches as cathedrals or basilicas, are we doing the Sign of the Cross too much, should I raise my hands in church, and is it okay to adopt an embryo that is frozen and abandoned by in vitro fertilization?
