Mary Jo – I’ve lived with pain for eight years. I don't feel God the way I used to. This upsets me. What can I do? (01:57) Dennis - I don’t like your take on Catholics not participating in Protestant churches. Religion is Religion. (08:33) Fiona (email) - I believe that the Catechism of the Catholic Church states that God Parents are supposed to be practicing Catholics and of a certain age (18:00) James - I am part of family renewal ministry.

Along the way, Patrick blends faith, everyday wisdom, and humor, reminding listeners of the importance of empathy and real-world action, all while bringing the community together in prayer and support. Michael - I’m asking for prayers from you and from everybody else that can help. I’m a 74-year-old man who has spent his entire life in pain. (01:08) Bret - I how do I attain a state of grace and stay away from mortal sin?

What should he have done? (31:27) Lyn (email) - JD addressed kissing of ring issue. Because he represented America in an official capacity he felt he couldn't kiss the ring. Otherwise, he would have. (37:44) Emily - My brother and sister-in-law are having baby and want us to be the godparents for their non-denominational Baptism. (40:55) Mary Jo – I’ve lived with pain for eight years.
