Patrick takes many different kinds of questions about the Eucharist, gives crucial advice to a woman whose granddaughter transitioned trying to become a man, and addresses how excommunication works especially in regard to abortion.

Michael - I grew up in a mixed Protestant and Catholic household. I'm Russian Orthodox and I listen to TPMS show daily. If the Catholic Church would return to the Latin Mass or English ordinariate, that would be good. I think the Novus Ordo presents a large barrier to union.
Chris - Communion - the Church is supposed to be focused on the Eucharist. I think psychology suggests that we need to change behavior to change belief. So, we should receive more reverently to increase our belief.
Carol - My granddaughter transitioned into a man- can prayer do anything at all?
Teresa - Can we bless babies that have passed through abortion in a mass or funeral service or something?
Elizabeth - Did the Pope always allow priests to end ex-communication from sin of abortion like in the 60's?
