The Patrick Madrid Show

Patrick answers questions about priests not being allowed to marry, why does the Creed say “rose again,” what happens if you commit a mortal sin but die on your way to confession, and what effect does the sacrament of the anointing of the sick have on a baptized Catholic that has fallen away from the Church

• Aaron - Why are priests not allowed to be married?
• Jenny - The person that sold us our car just told us that she is a witch. How should, and should I, talk to her?
• Alonso - Medicine name you were talking earlier sounds like the devil's name in Latin, “Mephistopheles.”

Patrick answers questions about praying the Rosary, Vatican II, do dogs go to Heaven, and what happens when Catholic parents don’t baptize their kids?

• Steve - While praying the Rosary, instead of saying the mystery, can we say a prayer of our own or another little prayer in between the decades?

• Mary - Will I see my dog again in Heaven?
• John - What happens if someone doesn't know that there is no salvation outside the church. Would I be in jeopardy if I didn't tell them?

Patrick answers listener questions such as, is the Bread of Life a symbol, can I go to Presbyterian Reformed Church to make my husband happy, and what exactly were Pope Benedict’s last words?

• Tina - Responding to what you said about the Church having flaws: Every Church is made up of human beings and they're not pretty, but the Church is what we're following and not the people in it.
• Joe – Is the Bread of Life a symbol?
• Arlene - My husband goes to a Presbyterian Reformed Church.  I'm Catholic.  I tend to go with my husband because I feel bad we're not together.  I go to confession over and over again.  How could I stop this cycle?
• Bill - Responding to Tina's call, what Patrick said is exactly correct. I joined because I was shown the Divine Mercy and I joined the Catholic Church despite her flaws. 
• Anna – I just came back to the Catholic Church.
• Mike - Different media sources are saying Pope Benedict XVI's last words are “Jesus I love you” and “Lord I Love you.” Is there any difference?

Patrick answers listener questions about vaccines and masks

• Jane – I was shocked you related the football players collapse to possible vaccine use
• Patrick reads a couple more emails thanking him for talking about “the jab”
• Maria – I’m a nurse and had to get the vaccine so I wouldn't be fired.  When I mentioned the vaccine could've affected the football player, the doctor yelled at me.
• Kristy - Not only is it the young suddenly dying, but the elderly are suddenly dropping dead as a well. 
• John - Regarding masks, my wife is a nurse and she's forced to wear a mask for 10 hours a day.  Oxygen levels are dropping when wearing a mask during the day.
• Email from a listener asking who is “Fr. Miguel Gutty”
• Jenny - I had heart surgery because I had a hole in my heart.  Sometimes these problems go undetected. 
• Justin –Miguel Cutty is a priest that drives a Cutlass supreme and they called him 'Cutty'.
• Lisa - I'm a retired nurse and I worked with COVID patients for two years and I retired instead of taking the jab.  I saw a lot of side effects with the vaccines.  I was disheartened by the medical field.  Follow the money.

Patrick shares his memory of Joseph Ratzinger being named Pope Benedict XVI

• Abraham - How do you deal with the problem of evil in the Church? Is it really the true Church?
• Jenny – Is it true that Jesus suffers?
• Janet - My niece is getting married to a girl who says she is a boy. How do I justify not going to this wedding to my 20-year-old son?
• Sam - Since the Church doesn't recognize divorce could an unbaptized person be civilly divorced and then marry again without going through the Church?
