The Patrick Madrid Show

Patrick answers how we can both pray for peace in Israel and seek justice for what Hamas did, has a lively conversation about the difference between NFP and contraceptives, and takes on interesting questions related to prayer and the Eucharist.   Carol (email) – I can’t pray for peace. Shouldn’t we be praying for Israel’s victory? Nick - Why is NFP acceptable opposed to other contraceptives? Al - You should be able to have sex with your wife and use contraceptives. I strongly disagree with you Patrick. Jocelyn - With all the prayer we are doing for the bad events, does that take prayer away from other things? Robert - Is Jesus able to come out of the host after it has been consecrated? Jason - Is listening to music on YouTube or using cash back credit cards ethical?

Patrick comments on the mass shooting that happened last night in Maine, gives his take on the film The Chosen, tackles the immorality of swearing as well as getting into some of his favorite music groups. Check it out right here! Jim (email) – Makes a comparison about The Chosen and The Patrick Madrid Show You’ll never guess the city that cusses the most Joe (31:08) - How can I tell people that swearing is wrong? Diana - My husband and I don't swear because of an expression from my father in law which really impacted me. Rhonda - Patrick has brought me such joy over the years. What do you think of the Monkeys band? It’s like the beetles. Kirk - I started cussing in college but it has taken me 60 years to stop.

Regarding using bad language, Patrick discusses strategies on how to overcome this habit, helps a young caller understand why Jesus kept His wounds after His resurrection and delves into what it means to be baptized children of Christ. Brenda - My mother didn't like that I cursed a lot when I came back from college. When I went to confession, the priest said I should replace the word with something I didn't like. Now I use 'Figs' instead of language and it works. Julie (23:03) - What do you think of the new movie called 'After Death' by Angel Studios? Audrey - We had our car picked up yesterday to deliver to Relevant Radio. Thank you for all you do. Casimir - Are the planets in our solar system correlated with the 9 choirs of angels?

Is it okay to conditionally baptize him before we adopt him? Denise - Is a plenary indulgence possible if you say the Rosary with Father Rocky on the FRAA? Benito (40:21) - Getting upset with people about language. When someone flips me off, I make the sign of the cross. When someone says have a good day, I say 'have a blessed day'. Rowen (9-years-old) - Why did Jesus keep his wounds after the resurrection? Kelly - Could you clarify something that Bishop Athanasius Schneider put in his Catechism regarding us not having fraternity with anyone who is not baptized?

Check it out! Jim (11:00) - I had a sister who heard bad language from her kid and she apologized and had him write all the other words which he could have used to replace it. Evans - I am a school where profanity is spoken and I used the word “bloody” one time in front of an English kid will that get me fired? Rene - My brother got married to a protestant in a Protestant Church. He never got his marriage blessed. What should he do? Patrick talks about his recent pilgrimage to Greece and Turkey Michael - In the bible, it says that not even the Son knows the hour of the second coming, so how can Jesus be God? Sandy (40:08) - I am a member of the LDS. We don't go out to make friends in order to bring them into the Church. We are friendly with people but it’s not to convert them. We just like to share the Gospel with them. Julie - How do dispensations for marriage work when people want to get married outside the Catholic Church?

Email – I just found out the man I’m falling for is already married. What should I do? Email – I’ve been married for 25 years and my husband wants me to have cosmetic surgery so that I stay attractive to him. What should I do? (21:12) Patrick comments on what makes a baptism valid Ernesto (email) – What happens when a Catholic priest quits or is fired, is he still a priest? Email – If a Catholic woman converts to Judaism to get married, is it a valid marriage? Email (40:45) – Where does it say in the bible that homosexuality is a sin?

We begin by exploring a fascinating journey of a former Protestant and Anglican who found solace in the Catholic Church.

What can they do?

Patrick addresses the struggle of regret and how it can impact individuals despite the knowledge of God's forgiveness through confession. Drawing inspiration from Cardinal Newman's teachings, we discuss attaining perfection in ordinary aspects of life and the transformative power of gratitude.
