Patrick handles questions from callers about selling blessed items and explains the Church’s stance on simony, warning against treating spiritual goods as commodities. He picks apart misunderstandings about Christ’s divinity, rooting his answers in Scripture and the testimony of the earliest Christians, and engages in a spirited back-and-forth with a Pentecostal caller about the Trinity, grounding his replies both historically and theologically. When a mother wonders what to do about baptism for her child against her husband’s wishes, Patrick lays out the responsibilities and options with practical clarity.

• Peter – Is it wrong to sell a blessed item like a Rosary? (01:10)
• Lucy (email) – If Jesus never said in the New Testament that He was God, why are we so certain? (11:09)
• Dan – In John 7, who is Jesus talking about when He says, “he that believeth in me”? (23:03)
• Martine (email) – If he’s always existed, “where” was Jesus before he was born? (37:17)
• Marie – Infant baptism. I understand that this is not licit but could be done. If I baptized my kid on my own (without a priest or deacon) would I have to confess that? (47:51)
