During Hour 1 of the Patrick Madrid Show, Patrick discusses the following questions and comments:

Melba opened with a question about whether saints have to pass through Purgatory before reaching Heaven. Paul asked what the most important thing for high schoolers is preparing for Confirmation to know about the Faith. Amy shared that while she is not opposed to the idea, her concern is that once students are confirmed at a younger age, there would be little motivation or structure to keep them engaged in faith formation throughout their school years. Britney called in seeking practical advice on how to help her young son who is feeling anxious and afraid about going to Confession for the first time. Finally, Reniah asked how it is possible that God could create His own mother.
