The Patrick Madrid Show

Encore Presentation (from July 13th, 2022)

Patrick starts the hour off by reading an email about how a listener accidently found Relevant Radio and it’s changed his life and he’s a Catholic now

• Thomas - If someone was going to confession to remove mortal sin but died before he got there would the grace that he wanted from confession apply to him? In the same way, if parents want to baptize their child but have a miscarriage would the child receive graces that he would have gotten if he was baptized? What happens to the souls of miscarried child?
• Patrick, responding to an email asking if Catholics can be Free Masons, recommends the books “Why Catholics Can Not Be Masons” and “Masonry Unmasked” both by John Salza
• Diane - Today is the anniversary of the revelation of the vision of hell from Our Lady of Guadalupe. I want to make sure people know about it.
• Melissa - What should I do with my son who got married to a woman without including his family? He doesn't want to talk with me about it.
• Victor - Are there examples of people who refuse to contribute to society in the bible, and how are we supposed to love these people?
• What is the cause of homelessness? It's not drugs or mental illness, researchers say

David asks Patrick about other life forms such as aliens and wonders if they would need a Savior. 

Patrick answers listener questions about if it’s okay to encourage nonbelievers to pray, was Eve a sinner, is missing Mass on Sunday really a sin and what exactly is “good guilt?”

• Roberto – Was Eve a sinner?
• Robert – Should I encourage nonbelievers to pray?

• Anne - Marijuana has caused nothing but problems here in Canada.
• Eric - I got an average score 77 percent on the InQUIZition. Is that good or bad?
• Luz - How Can I talk with Jehovah Witnesses when they knock on our door? A Jehovah Witness, who is Filipino like me, came and I don't know if I should keep communications open with her.

Patrick answers listener questions about animal sacrifices in the Old Testament, how to strategize who gets what in a will, and he comments on the false appeal and real dangers of attending a Mega Church

• Steve - What are your thoughts on Catholic strategies for handling who gets what in my will?
• Patrick recommends the book “Finish Faithful”
• Kate - Our Parish priest has two Churches. Do I need to pick one or the other church to be a parishioner at? Why is not going to Mass on Sunday a mortal sin?
• Sheryl – Emails that Patrick gave bad advice.
• Mark - Question about offering the sacrifice during Mass: is it similar to the animal sacrifice from the old testament?
• Patrick recommends the book, “The Lambs Supper”
• Trip - I came from the mega churches that you talk about. I am a new convert and in RCIA!
• Kate - Any resources for what is happening in the Mass for my son's fiancé who is not Catholic?

Patrick starts the hour with disturbing news from the Vatican: Pro-abortion member of Pontifical Academy for Life contributes to ‘dialogue’

• Marya - What is the churches teaching on children who die in the womb?
• Sue - Please explain the Spanish inquisition in relation to the Holocaust? Did it grow out of intolerance and racism?
• Mark - If a widow wants to remarry, does the husband need to ask for her hand in marriage?
• Leo - I would like to talk more about Finding Salvation only through the Catholic Church.
• Teresa - In Catholic schools they are doing social emotional learning, and are taking that time out of religious studies. What are your thoughts on this?
• Fred - I am a director of a Pregnancy Center in Brooklyn. I would disagree with you about the pill. I think it could also be used for abortion purposes.

A caller who suffers from bad anxiety asks Patrick what the Catholic teaching is on the matter. He also mentions that it helps him to pray.

Patrick starts the show by responding to an anonymous listener who prays regularly with the Relevant Radio app. Her husband has become annoyed with hearing her pray so often. She asks Patrick if she should pray silently to “keep the peace”

• Jose - My mom is always praying and I am annoyed by her. What should I do?
• Joe – In Matthew 25, are the Sheep in this parable non-Catholic Christians?
• Soda pop, chips, hot dogs, etc. – they can take years off your life. Nuts can add to it.
• Sharon - My daughter who was baptized Catholic wants to be re-baptized in a different church. What should I do?
• Greg - How can you turn a relation based on fear with God to one of love and trust?
• Pam - I loved your advice for Greg. The devil reminds me of my sin but I try to lay my sins at the feet of Jesus and his mercy
• Maria - I struggle with guilt myself. I remember that no sin is too big for God to forgive.

Patrick shares the report that marijuana use is becoming a new normal among young adults and warns of the dangers of this gateway drug

• Dan - I love your show. Would listening to your show be a form of prayer?
• Rod - Mark 9 and Luke 9: How can Catholics say that Non-Catholics aren't saved based on Jesus saying “He who is for me is not against me.”

• Steve – If I don’t tell others about the Catholic church, am I sinning?

Patrick continues his conversation with Normand from the end of the last hour. Normand doesn’t believe we need the Catholic faith to be saved.

• Diane - My non-Catholic husband wants to know why he can’t be saved by simply being a good person?
• George - How should I understand 2 Cor 3:6? Were there any priests before the Levitical priest hood?
• Dana - Even as a cradle Catholic, I asked God how can Jesus be present in the Eucharist.
