The Patrick Madrid Show: August 12, 2025 - Hour 2

Patrick answers raw, heartfelt questions about Catholic living, how to respond when a son comes out as gay, whether revealing someone’s secret crosses into serious sin, choosing hope or despair for loved ones lost suddenly, and protecting dignity at life’s end. He offers clear guidance on prayer for the dead, the value of confession, and the spiritual dangers of gossip, threading real-life wisdom with Church teaching. One moment finds gentle encouragement, another a stern warning, and then unexpected comfort follows.
