A caller named Tammy asks Father Dave about attending Mass at different parishes in her area. She asks, "If I go to different parishes for convenience's sake — say, this Mass time works better for me at this other church instead of the parish that I belong to — and it seems like the majority of the time I'm attending Mass at a different church than my parish that I belong to, is that a sin? Is that something I need to confess, that I need to be at my own parish more often?"

A listener named Randy asks Father Dave a question about the history of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. "Could you explain the Baltimore Catechism?" Randy asks.

A listener named Kay asks a question about the Sacrament of Reconciliation. "When going to confession, do you have to detail every instance [of sin]?" She asks.
