Patrick answers listener questions about exorcisms, IVF, the need for baptism, why we need confession, and can Angels lie? 

  • James – I’ve heard that exorcisms are taking longer to work? How do our actions affect the body of the Church as a whole?
  • Ray - 1 Cor 6: 19-20. Why is the body the Temple of the Holy Spirit?
  • Brenda - Can a priest’s dog be in church during mass? Also, is it okay for a lay person to take care of the alter while the priest is sitting during mass?
  • Haley - At the institution of the Eucharist, how do we understand Jesus holding his own body?
  • What do people who have used IVF do they do when they realize it’s a sin?
  • Norman – Jesus died on the Cross to pay for all our sins. So why do we need to be baptized?
  • E Frank - If a pastor of your Church has a different opinion of the sacramental life than what you were raised with which opinion should we follow?
  • Bonacci - I am a neurophysiologist and some people with epilepsy are prescribed a dog to tell them if they are going to have a seizure. Would it be wrong for a priest to have a dog for this reason?
  • Jennifer – Can I be the Godmother of a child born from IVF?
  • Joe - Regarding the snake hall: What do people who don't like it think about when God told Moses to make a serpent for people to look at?
  • Michael – Can Angels come to Earth and appear as people?
  • Eddie - Why do we need to confess if Jesus is with us?
