Episode Details

Patrick guides listeners through questions on Catholic teaching, from private revelations, true Church authority, to what happens to souls who never heard the Gospel, like ancient Aztecs. He talks to folks returning to faith amid family challenges, the nature of mortal sin and personal struggle, and gives compassionate counsel to an aunt wrestling with her godchild’s abortion, balancing mercy and truth.
