Patrick dives into complex moral dilemmas such as the responsibility of baptizing children in non-practicing Catholic families, and the heart-wrenching decision of a local parish concerning this sacrament. He explores the profound effects of baptism and the spiritual journey of the child affected by the faith, or lack thereof, of their parents and godparents. Patrick also shares vital insights on navigating habitual versus mortal sin and discusses the unique struggles like attending a Hindu festival from a Catholic perspective.
