Patrick tackles breaking news about Israel’s major strike on Iran, weaving Catholic moral teaching on just war, historical background, and current threats from Iran together with listener questions on faith and ethics. He pushes beyond headlines—why does just war theory still matter, how do prayer and Christian peacemaking play a role when the world feels on fire, and where does modern conscience fit amid relentless violence?
