Patrick addresses real struggles—from discerning romantic relationships to understanding doctrines like purgatory and confronting challenges such as cohabitation, offering clear Catholic perspectives grounded in honesty and compassion.

  • Monica – I want to get married. How long should one wait for boyfriend to propose marriage? (01:15)
  • Joe – How do I understand the way the Church has changed since Vatican II? (16:16)
  • Pat – We go to Purgatory because the holes remain in our soul, according to Fulton Sheen. (27:23)
  • Anonymous Mom (email) – My son says he won’t cohabit before marriage because he’s Catholic, but he thinks living together first is practical so you can discover incompatibilities (like messy roommates). How would you explain the deeper Catholic reasons against cohabitation? (34:06)
