The Patrick Madrid Show

Patrick looks back at the flip-flopping messages we received over the last few years about the benefits of masks and vaccines and how that has shaped a lack of trust in the government and the pharmaceutical industry Joel - I had an acquaintance pass away. What more could I have done to teach them about the faith before they died? Marge – COVID tests are not accurate but they are still testing. What is Long Covid? Jack - What were the vitamin routines of those who died from Covid? Luke 11-year-old – What happens to your soul if you kill someone? Doug - We have to have trust in government. It hurts when they break that trust and we tend to trust government less.

Patrick celebrates his 11th anniversary and sheds light on the origin of the show and how his journey into radio unfolded. We also tackle important issues surrounding family dynamics, seeking guidance from spiritual leaders, and the impact of honest advice on relationships.  Happy 11th Anniversary to The Patrick Madrid Show! Patrick and Cyrus share some of the many supportive emails that came in after yesterday’s show about a caller who said Patrick was too stern with a caller Judy - Can you comment on the veneration of relics?

Patrick addresses questions about the Charismatic Renewal, the Book of Enoch, and the ongoing conversation around transgender behavior in schools.  Elon Musk might try to copy WeChat which is an everything-all-in-one app used by everyone in China Marty - Regarding the School teacher from yesterday: I was thinking she could send emails to the parents and 'pronoun drop' by referring to their child by his/her preferred pronoun to help them see what is happening.

Patrick touches on the sensitive topic of marriage, discussing the possibility of restoration and the need for penance in the face of broken relationships. We also address the importance of forgiveness, both for ourselves and for others, discussing real-life examples such as women who've had abortions and the guilt they may face. Later, we dive into the controversial issue of public schools and how parents can take charge of their child's education. And finally, we delve into a thought-provoking conversation about objective morality and the importance of rigorous ethical evaluation.  Patrick comments on Jane’s call from yesterday. She is a teacher dealing with the trans agenda in her school and she is not allowed to tell the parents about what is happening with the students. Lori - John 17:11. Did God have mercy on Judas? It seems like he was just used as a tool. Mark - As a public school teacher, I think that if we push back in meetings and with emails it will make a difference. Don - When should I start the annulment process? I've recently come back into the Church but I don't know if I should try to be forgiving or if it would be better for the kids to divorce. Thomas - What would you say to the argument that same sex marriage is fine because no one is getting hurt in it?

Patrick discusses the roles of husbands and wives and the importance of love and submission. Patrick also provides valuable insights on determining the legitimacy of charities and religious organizations. And, of course, we take calls from listeners who share their questions and experiences.   Joseph - I don't like how you handled the divorced man. You shouldn't have talked with him about penance, instead you should have loved him. Fred - Regrading Judas: I think that Judas could have repented in the last moments. Is that something I can believe? Rafael - I think that we are all different. If someone wouldn't have told me I need to repent, I would be sinning today. I think you do great. Carrie - I think your response was with love. I think you did a great job. Linda - I thought you acted in a loving fatherly way to the person who was getting divorced. I think you did well.

Mike - What does it mean to drink too much alcohol? Where is the line?

If you were a teacher and you were told that you couldn't tell parents that their children want to change their gender, what would you do? Would you feel compelled to break the school system's rules? Would you quit your job and be willing to find a new one? Would you be willing to face punishment for standing up for truth? Patrick Madrid speaks with a caller named Jane from Jacksonville, Illinois. Jane expresses her concern about a growing trend in schools where children at very young ages are expressing a desire to identify as the opposite gender. She shares that as a school worker, she is unable to communicate these concerns to parents due to privacy rules, and she is seeking advice on what she, as a Catholic, should do in this situation. Patrick empathizes with Jane's dilemma and acknowledges the difficulty of her position. He strongly condemns the adults in authority who are allowing this trend to occur and accuses them of deceiving parents and harming innocent children. He suggests that Jane, being a good person who cares about the well-being of the children, should consider leaving her job if she finds herself compromising her moral beliefs. He applauds the idea of taking a heroic stand by speaking the truth to parents, even if it leads to getting fired. He recognizes that not everyone can take such a stance due to financial obligations. Patrick suggests that parents should communicate with their children and inquire about any exposure to gender-related ideologies in school. He encourages parents to be proactive in investigating what their children are being taught and to support teachers like Jane who are trying to navigate this challenging situation.

Patrick provides a unique perspective that challenges the status quo and reminds us that the Church’s role is to teach and defend the truth. He also delves into the origins of the King James Bible, shedding light on its historical significance and debunking common misconceptions. Additionally, Patrick addresses listener concerns about receiving sacraments from priests who have committed moral wrongs, offering insights and reassurances that will bolster confidence in the Church's teachings. As always, Patrick encourages listeners to stay grounded in their faith, pray for the Pope, and navigate discussions about sin and guidance with wisdom and compassion. Patrick shares and comments on the wise words of Pope Paul VI, from his general audience from January, 19, 1972, “The teaching Church does not invent her doctrine; she is a witness, she is a guardian, she is an interpreter, she is a mediator. As far as the truths pertaining to the Christian message are concerned, she can be said to be conservative, intransigent; and to those who urge her to make the faith easier, more relevant to the tastes of the changing mentality of the times, she replies with the Apostles: Non possumus, we cannot (Acts 4:20)” E-Frank - Can you receive last rights multiple times in your life? Bill – Pope Francis recently talked about the Church in the USA in regard to doctrine. What is your take on what the pope said? Donna - When was the King James Bible made? Paul - What should I do if I know someone is receiving communion out of the state of Grace?

Patrick explores the topic of divine punishments and how they relate to sinful humanity. From the devastating flood to St. Peter's mention of Earth's dissolution by fire, we delve into the biblical references and signs of the end times. Voice Deepfakes Are Coming for Your Bank Balance Savio - People have told me that the resurrection is a later invention. How do I respond to them?
