Today, Patrick explores the delicate balance between faith and marital struggles as he supports a caller dealing with annulment complexities. Patrick also navigates the nuances of morality, diving deep into the biblical perspective on adultery, communion, and heaven. A heartening tale reminds us of the transformative power of confession and counseling, and practical guidance on natural family planning illuminates love beyond the physical. Plus, lively discussions with young callers about Lucifer’s fall and the morality of stealing brought fresh insights and some unexpected laughs.

• Anonymous email – Why are some people unwilling to accept that some souls will go to hell?
• Emily – My husband’s annulment isn’t going through and I’m not sure what to do about it. His ex-wife is fighting it and it’s been denied. I am living in sin with him and don’t know what to do.
• Dante (8-years-old) – Why did Lucifer turn away from God? (20:30)
• Allison (mom) and Henry (10-years-old)- Do the ends justify the means? (25:15)
• Jaime – Is it ok not to genuflect during the prayer of the conversion of the Jews and to not shout “crucify him” during that part of the liturgy?
• Phyllis – I teach catechism to 3rd graders and there are some twins whose parents are both women. They went home and told their parents that I said they were going to hell. I only said we love them but do still need to pray for them. Someone complained and now I have a meeting with the church about it and I need your advice.
• Rafael – I’ve had struggles with the same sin and it wasn’t until a priest told me more about what was going to happen if I kept doing this specific sin that I really tried to stop doing it
