Patrick starts off by getting into the topic of understanding the Bible and the recent confusion surrounding the Vatican’s statement on blessings for same-sex couples. We begin by addressing a listener’s inquiry about which version of the Bible is best for beginners and recommend some insightful resources for Bible study. Then, we hear from a police officer who shares his encounter with confusion about Catholic teachings on same-sex marriages and how he responded to it. Patrick Madrid provides clarity on the issue and shares the thoughts of Archbishop Charles Chapew on the divisive topic.
