"If Jesus Tells Us to Love Everybody, Does That Include the Devil?" (Special Podcast Highlight)

Spending time with Patrick Madrid every day? "How sweet it is!" He kicks off this podcast episode with a simple request: "Tell your friends about the show!" Seriously, spread the word like a good Catholic evangelist. 

 

Now, for the Main Event: Is it OK to Hate the Devil? 

 

Julian from San Jose calls in with a question from his son, Nico (who, by the way, sounds like a great kid). If Jesus tells us to love everybody, does that include the devil?

 

Patrick’s answer? No. 

 

We love humans because they can be saved. 

 

Even the worst people have a chance at redemption through Christ. 

 

But fallen angels, including Satan, can never change. They're locked in their decision to reject God... forever. 

 

Their whole goal is to drag us down to hell. 

 

To explain this, Patrick gives a clever analogy. Would we try to teach animals about God? Nope, because they literally can’t understand. It’s pointless. Same with loving the devil. There’s no purpose to it.

 

And Then… The Mustache Moment 

 

Before Julian hangs up, he tells Patrick that his son Nico loves Patrick's "lip sweater.” Apparently, we have a new term for a mustache now. 

 

Final Thoughts: 

 

Love people.

 

Don’t love the devil.

 

Respect the power of a solid lip sweater.
