Patrick takes listener calls and jumps through current debates on everything from locker room policies in schools to the spiritual risks of yoga and questions around modesty. He wrestles with topics such as sexual temptation, the church’s stance on marriage convalidation, medical ethics for ectopic pregnancies, and representation in religious art, all while drawing out Catholic perspectives and personal stories. Questions spark unexpected turns: alcohol and cigars in men’s groups, repetitive prayer, confession after difficult choices.
