Patrick opens the hour by reading a listener’s email questioning his stance on attending invalid weddings, bringing personal stories and historical context about conflicting priestly advice in the wake of Humanae Vitae. The conversation climbs from memories of seminarians who wrongly counseled married couples on contraception to callers probing Church teaching on natural family planning and the significance of following a well-formed conscience. As the hour winds down, Patrick wrestles with the challenge of Christian belief in miracles and the resurrection, anchoring his response in scripture and the lived witness of the apostles.

• Kevin (email) – Why don’t you take the advice of priests over your own interpretation? (00:47)
• Brother John – Natural Family Planning was never a teaching of the Church. It came out of Vatican II. (18:53)
• Pat – Priest wrote letter apologizing to those he recommended birth control too. (24:58)
• Jeffrey – My friend wants his mom to become Christian, but she doesn’t believe in the Resurrection of Christ. (38:40)
