In Hour 2 of The Patrick Madrid Show, Patrick explains more about what Christian nationalism is, Jerry wants to know if our prayers can affect sporting events, David calls in to disagree with Patrick's tone on Muslims and what do you think of St. Thomas Aquinas's poem Adoro Te? David in Fort Worth, TX - I think your tone of voice to the Muslims is not right. David in Portland, Maine – I disagree with the audio about Sudan and Israel that you played in the first hour of today’s show Heidi - Are the Jewish people considered pagans because they don't believe in the Trinity? Gil - Why can’t we just accept everyone? Jerry - Do you believe that prayers can influence sporting events? Kathy - Can you give me examples of Jew hatred from Christian Nationalists? I don't see it among people I know. Patrick explains what and who “Christian Nationalists” are. Fred - What do you think of St. Thomas Aquinas's poem Adoro Te? Justin - My oldest son wants to know more about freewill and predestination. How can I explain this to him and what God's plan is?

In Hour 3 of today's Patrick Madrid show, Justin asks about talking with his son about predestination, plus Patrick addresses callers on antisemitism, what do you think about sororities and fraternities and are the St. Brigid prayers legit? Justin – My teenage son is losing his eyesight. How do I talk with him about freewill and predestination? Edward – You are always asking why they hate the Jews. Martha - People who call in regarding antisemitism seem to forget Jesus was a Jew and that the Christian faith came from the Jewish faith. Alan - If the US didn’t intervene in Iran, what would have happened? It seems obvious they would have nuked Israel and some of their neighbors. Patty - I am concerned that I might have forgotten to Confess sins. Not sure if I did or not. Should I go to Easter Mass? Mariana - Have you ever attended the Easter Vigil with young kids and babies? How did you keep them entertained? Charity - What do you think of sororities and fraternities? They have pagan roots. Can we be part of one? Victor - Should we be concerned about timelines of the tribes and figures in the Old Testament? Kathy - St. Brigid of Sweden prayer is a promise that the souls who pray that will suffer no time in Purgatory. Are these legit and authentic?

Patrick responds to honest questions about Jesus’ Resurrection, the Church’s teaching on indulgences, and struggles families face with transgender issues and cultural artifacts at home. He listens closely, offers clear explanations on Holy Communion for those with celiac disease, unpacks confusion around paying for spiritual benefits, and approaches each dilemma with warmth and candor. Michelle (email) - On Easter Sunday, when they found Jesus's tomb empty, his body and soul went to heaven. What happens when we die? Why do our bodies not go as well when we are buried? (01:51) Liz - I have always struggled to understand why we could get an indulgence. How is it that someone who has more money could get to heaven faster? (08:17) Matt - My son is dating a Protestant girl who has celiac disease. She is hesitant to receive the Eucharist. How can we guide her?

(24:27) Maria - My son is transgender and we struggle to have a good relationship with him. My daughter constantly says he is wrong. I feel this is not helping. (36:21)

Patrick opens with an emotional family exchange about a grandchild’s love for her grandma, then fields unusual yet urgent calls on Church stipends, simony, and what receiving sacraments ought to mean in the parish. He moves from nuanced confessional advice and the scruples of returning Catholics to the practical fallout of parish fees, blending sharp critiques with direct references to scripture and the daily lives of the faithful. Throughout, Patrick responds with clarity and boldness, guiding callers through honest questions with encouragement and a no-nonsense approach. Marie - How does a $20 stipend for a funeral mass play into the discussion of indulgences? (01:59) Andy - Do I have to confess attending a nondenominational service? (10:38) Laura - About going to a Protestant service: How much detail do I need to go into in my Confession? (20:34) Mario – My parish raised the stipend within my diocese up to $20. Can a Diocese do this? This doesn't seem right. (27:25) Andrew - What should you do when you have hours of sins to Confess? (36:20) Colleen – Was Jesus on the Cross for six hours? Was the Blessed Mother dressed in black? (44:39)

Patrick answers calls that touch real lives and offers advice to a father converting to Catholicism as he wrestles with family opposition, discusses heated opinions on parish fees for funerals and sacraments, and weighs in against a controversial spiritual book. He shares a glimpse of his own family joy, remembers a beloved listener, and never lets any conversation sit quietly as every topic receives direct attention. Listeners come for clarity, community, and the unpredictable twists that Patrick’s perspective brings. Edward - I am not yet Catholic, and I am attending a nondenominational church. My wife doesn't want to become a Catholic. What can I do? Is it wrong for me to go to a Catholic Church?

(17:46) Cynthia (email) – Outrageous Church fees Maria - I have no objection to Parishes assessing fees. (26:12) Therese - What is the “Poem of the Man God” by Maria Valtorta?

(46:04) Jessica - I work for a parish and used to be bookkeeper. I had to call a widow about a bounced check. I still feel off about it. (47:46)

Patrick opens with April Fool’s banter and quickly moves from lost TV legends to probing listener questions on wisdom in Scripture, the story of Saint Veronica, and the requirements for plenary indulgences, always with direct, clear Catholic guidance. When news breaks about Oracle’s sudden, AI-driven layoffs, he doesn’t he threads together tech’s upheaval with practical advice on future-proofing work and life itself, all while reflecting on Elon Musk’s shifting reputation and his role in the debate over free speech. Sean (email) – Lost in Space factoids (00:21) Kerry (email) - Does the Catholic faith equate the Spirit of Wisdom with the Holy Spirit? Are they the same "Person" as part of the Trinity? (04:59) Tiffany - Stations of the Cross: Did Veronica really wipe Jesus's face? Where did this story come from? (10:14) Oracle lays off 30k employees (19:50) Bill - I listen to this show all the time. It is a great show. Patrick you are considerate and humble. (36:56) “Do Not Go Beyond What Is Written” What 1 Corinthians 4:6 actually means and why it doesn’t support sola scriptura - https://patrickmadrid.substack.com/p/do-not-go-beyond-what-is-written

Patrick invites listeners into a lively exchange about artificial intelligence, where callers wrestle with trust, automation, jobs, and what’s lost or gained as machines play a bigger role in medicine and daily life. Old skills fade while AI scans X-rays, calculates, and writes emails, leaving everyone to wonder who’s really in charge. Jody - I think we need to consider what is God's will when it comes to AI. I think of Goliath who thought he had all the tools and was perfect but lost to David. (00:53) Jim - I use AI before I go to my doctor. AI puts it in a medical format so I can give it to my doctor. I don't think we should discourage people from going into medicine and think we should train people in science. (12:05) Adam - I am in favor of AI. I think AI is just a medium. Is it not about the intention of the person using the AI? Audio: AI: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei - “50% of all entry-level Lawyers, Consultants, and Finance Professionals will be completely wiped out within the next 1–5 years." https://x.com/cgtwts/status/2036398315294933220?s=46 (23:13) Lia - I think AI is being abused too much. What will children compare it to. (29:07) Audio: AI: Former Google CEO on AI timeline - https://x.com/iamkyros69/status/2035811683051151530?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (36:50) Michelle - I think AI has been weaponized to hurt humanity. I see it as another weapon. (39:09) Aaron - I think we need a different reflection about AI. I am not excited because it will introduce surveillance state. (45:38)

Patrick weighs artificial intelligence against faith, ethics, and everyday experience. Listeners question whether AI is truly intelligent, worry about instant gratification and lost human connection, and push Patrick to consider if digital tools deserve respect or if their dangers outweigh their usefulness. The conversation swerves from skepticism to hope, from libraries and coffee makers to the nature of the soul and the boundaries between man and machine. Aaron – AI is massive power and it could corrupt absolutely (00:58) Christopher - If we create genuinely intelligent systems, what role do they play in God's creation and what rights do they have? (04:02) Mark - My comment regarding the AI dilemma is that everyone wants gratification and an instant win-win for themselves and AI facilitates that. (14:48) Maria (email) – I welcome AI as it can give me a wider information base (22:30) Tracey (email) – Humans will not be able to stop AI once it gains controls Vanessa - I think AI is leading us to become more like computers. (24:55) Thaddeus - I feel like we are too permissive with AI and what it is allowed to do. Should more Catholics enter the military to counter AI in military? (35:24) Michelle - This is a tool of deception that can be used by the government to deceive us. (39:22) Jeanine - I don't use computers. I have a cell phone for basic things. I was shocked that AI has had good Catholic answers that is better than the library. I thought the library was more prejudiced. (41:04) David - Why do we keep Easter on Sunday? (45:47) Rhonda - Would Jesus, Mary and Joseph be considered the first Catholics? (47:52)

Patrick welcomes listeners to a morning of questions, commentary, and unexpected turns, where emails spark discussions on Catholic identity, interfaith love, and the raw ache of grief. Calls zigzag from classic TV nostalgia to the anatomy of Adam’s rib and on to the persistent mystery of locked church doors. He shares candid thoughts on generational blame, touches on why Jewish communities may not see Jesus as Messiah, and responds to curiosity about the existence of aliens in Catholic thought, all with warmth, wit, and an invite to stay curious. Linda (email) – Thank you for the good advice you gave the young man yesterday about marring a girl of a different religion. Thanks for an insightful show! (01:24) Natalie - This word “rib” is a 'piece of a temple building' (07:11) Todd - Betty Davis was in the 1966 episode of Gun Smoke. She was an A-List actress. (09:48) Ann (email) - I am just wondering, what are the general reasons that our Jewish brothers and sisters don't accept Jesus as the Messiah? Are they waiting for another Savior? (14:37) Jenny - My husband passed away and I have guilt about being kinder to him and better with him. (25:37) Cheryl (email) - Baby Boomers turned everything upside down with the hippie movement (37:03) Andrew - Are aliens really demons? (42:45)

Patrick welcomes questions about UFOs, extraterrestrials, and why Church teaching rules out intelligent non-human life, discussing scriptural and theological grounds while considering scientific theories like multi-dimensional travel. He listens to concerns about interfaith services and defends Catholic teaching on marriage and morality, offering advice for those troubled by confusion or scandal in parishes. When confronted with doubts about the existence of evil and temptation, Patrick draws from scripture and tradition, encouraging trust in God and explaining the deep meaning behind Catholic concepts like mystery and grace. Patrick continues to answer the question: Are aliens really demons? (01:27) Stewart - If we had first contact with another intelligent lifeform, would we have to restructure the hierarchy of intelligence? (15:41) Steve - Is it wrong to allow LGBTQ folks to give a Good Friday Message? (19:39) Ralph - Why would a loving God allow us to be subjected to temptation? (26:12) James - What does the term mystery mean? (37:58) Michael - I have been involved with the UFO phenomena. What if there are portals that can enable us to travel to a different dimension? (47:22)

Patrick faces a barrage of questions about UFOs, the connection between alien experiences and demonic activity, the spirit of Lenten penance, and why some parishes skip purple cloths during Holy Week. He fields stories of penitents wrestling with ambiguous penances, guides a listener curious about being virtuous in a world fixated on dominance, and addresses confusion about manifestations of evil. The hour moves quickly, with Patrick offering clarity, direct answers, and the occasional surprise as listeners press him from all sides. Patrick continues his conversation with Michael from the end of the last hour about aliens and different dimensions (00:39) Fr. Bill (email) – Humility is the key to everything (08:34) Burke (email) – What does the Catholic Church make self-gratification a sin? It’s normal. (13:58) Billy - With fasting and Lent, is using weight loss drugs cheating? (18:16) Luz - I went to Church this morning and the Gospel about Jesus really touched me. Did Jesus make Judas betray him? (24:22) Jenna - I know someone who claims to be communicating with aliens. Could this happen? Are demons able to impersonate aliens? (27:08) Joshua - I have heard that calling out in Jesus will cause aliens to flee. Is this right? (30:39) Socurro - I went to Confession last weekend. My penance was to do something nice to a particular person, but I haven’t seen her again yet. What can I do? (40:59) Bob - Can you recommend a book as Jesus being the fulfillment of the Old Testament? (43:46) Tiffany - I want to be a saint, but the stories seem so overwhelming. What can I do? (46:59)

Patrick opens the show confronting the recent scene in Jerusalem: Israeli police stop the Latin Patriarch, Cardinal Pizzaballa, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulcher because of wartime restrictions and safety policies, then shares thoughts on why conflicting reactions emerge worldwide. A call about dating during an annulment waiting period leads Patrick into Church teaching on sacramental marriage, while other listeners press him about concupiscence, the real meaning of confession, and what happens when a Baptist seeks to join the Catholic Church. Diocese of Rome issues statement after the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, was barred by Israeli police from entering the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre (01:24) Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa clarifies the controversy (08:14) Joshua - What is the proper behavior when dating someone who is awaiting an annulment? (12:07) Josie (16-years-old) - In Confession, are we encountering Christ dying on the Cross or Christ Resurrected? Also, why are some angles called Saints? (21:35) Marlin - I am converting from Protestantism and want to know how I can receive the sacraments? (26:59) Meridith (email) - Is covering the statues in purple cloth optional? (38:07) Jillian - What is the Church's protocol if an intruder enters during Mass? (42:15)

Patrick answers raw, honest questions about faith, history, and living Catholic conviction in today’s world, threading together stories about crucifixion, the meaning of ashes, AI’s place beside the story of Babel, and choices around burial and belief. Listeners call in with personal struggles, whether wrestling with interfaith relationships, what Catholic teaching says about cremation, or the anxiety of being in mortal sin before Communion. Dave - When did the Cross become a symbol of Christianity? Is this why the Roman’s used crucifixion as a form of torture? (01:06) Micah - God stopped the building of the Tower of Babel. Why hasn't God stopped AI and technology? (07:18) Bill - I don't want to scatter ashes for my stepdad. Both his son and I don't want to scatter his ashes. Are we morally obligated to follow his wishes? (13:34) Courtney - The appeal of ashes being spread is more about letting their energy go out to the world. Just look at it under the microscope and it will amaze you. (22:28) Danny - If you show up to Confession and you can't get through the line, can you still receive Communion? (29:36) Aidan - I just returned to the Church and am dating a Jewish woman. How can we proceed as she is not interested in becoming a Christian? (34:09) Kevin - What happened to the Old Covenant and why? (43:11)

Patrick answers questions from listeners, moving between Catholic teachings, personal faith stories, and challenges like anti-Semitism and priestly celibacy. He offers warmth and clarity, sharing moments of encouragement and candor as callers wrestle with issues of reverence, conversion, and interfaith relationships. Keith - How do bad angels and good angels fight each other? They are not physical beings but there was a battle in heaven. How did they take form? (00:40) Susie - I am not Catholic. I hope that you would mention that blessings are given at Catholic Churches for people who are not Catholic. Do priests still give blessings? (03:40) Patrick in Kansas - How can I convince my friend not to bury a statue of St. Joseph? (07:22) Mark - I married a Catholic woman and converted 7 years later. I also was Jewish. (11:58) Kim - We went to a Basilica in London, Ontario, and we noticed that people were standing after Communion. What does this mean? (21:29) Jamie - What do I say to someone who thinks Holy Communion is like cannibalism? (30:29) Maria - I heard that men have one less rib than women. Is that true? (37:59) Shannon - What is your take on the Church teaching on marriage for priests? (42:31)

Patrick answers Catholic questions head-on, opening with the tension between catechism updates on the death penalty and the unchanging core of Church teaching. He fields raw listener concerns about abortion laws, whether women should face prosecution, apologetics on purgatory and indulgences, and even the lasting impact of MTV’s provocative videos, before wrestling with mysteries like God’s presence in the Old Testament. Tony - You say we have to agree with the Catechism. Which paragraph do we agree with when it comes to the death penalty? (00:55) Becky - We are voting on repealing abortion in Missouri. I heard that we should vote no on this because it doesn't completely repeal abortion. (09:15) Kip (email) – My friend says purgatory is nowhere in the bible and indulgences were made up by Catholics to get rich (21:03) Bob - If God is present to all time was one of the three visitors to Abraham, Jesus? (27:35) Richard - MTV was the most immoral stuff on television. I don't know what you are talking about. (36:20) Mike - If we support the death penalty and an innocent person is executed, are we morally culpable? (40:44) Efrank - Today is the last day of the 40 days of Lent. Could I just pray during Holy Week without going to Mass? (47:42)

Patrick unpacks the roots of Catholicism and Islam in America, mixes in practical dating strategies, and fields questions on confession, tradition, and finding the right parish with clarity and candor. Stories of real struggles and honest advice flow as listeners call in about love, faith, and how to stay true when uncertainty hits. Direct, down-to-earth, never skipping the tough moments, Patrick keeps listeners grounded while challenging them to move forward. Adelso (email) - hen did Catholicism first become known in the United States? Additionally, when did Islam become known here in the USA? (00:50) Preston (email) - How do you know when you’ve found a good mate? Do I need to convert before I’ll ever find someone for me? What do I need to do to be a good husband and father? (04:41) Cindy - Why did the Catholic Church get rid of closed Confessionals? (11:45) Robert -You only gave 50% of the answer to Preston’s email. I think this guy needs to make himself more marketable to women. (15:11) Anthony - My life-long friend committed suicide yesterday. What can I do? (21:29) Barbara - I think the bishops keep confusing legal and illegal immigration. I think Illegals are breaking the law. I see illegal immigrants as committing mass thievery. (32:02) Anna - On the gentleman who wants to meet someone: It’s important for men to be clean cut. Is he presenting himself in a clean manner. This is what I say as a mother and grandmother. (37:57) Sylvia - What do I do once I complete a First Friday devotion? (39:51) Carl (email) - On a rebroadcast of your show I head you mention that Lents concludes with the completion of the Mass of the Lords Supper on Holy Thursday…does that mean I can hit the In and Out Burger drive-thru on Good Friday? (46:58)

Patrick welcomes listeners with questions about Catholic marriage, sacraments, belief, and the nature of God, responding directly to concerns about Communion, Church law, and what happens after death. A caller’s uncertainty about receiving the Eucharist or fears about eternal separation draws Patrick into discussions on canon law, spiritual purification, and God's mercy; another listener’s curiosity about Jesus calling people “gods” sparks a biblical explanation tangled with a look at Mormon teaching. Wonder appears with questions about who made God, or the purpose behind suffering, and Patrick considers reason, faith, and the simple realities of human limitation, drawing from scripture and practical examples with warmth and openness. Elena - For a very long time I could not find proof of my Baptism so I could start Catechism classes. I found it. Do I need to get married through the Catholic Church. Will I go to hell? Ed - Will God put a person outside of human time so that prayers that are said for person will make a difference. Is this true? (11:31) Sean - The Bible reading says that 'you are gods'. How is it that human beings are gods? (21:42) Nancy - I am not a believer of any kind. How does a rational person believe that God created the earth by speaking? (28:31) Jorge – I’m not a bad sinner. When I die, will I go to purgatory? (39:17) Jonathan – What are the 7 Dolors of Mary? (46:19)

Patrick answers calls from parents navigating tough Bible passages with young kids, shares advice on the actual end date of Lent, and recommends spiritual classics like The Way of the Pilgrim, tying it all back to daily Catholic life. Between practical answers and deep spiritual reflections, Patrick blends ordinary moments with big questions, keeping everything honest, thoughtful, and lively. Carlos - If you have irritable bowel syndrome, can you be dispensed from fasting on Good Friday? (00:46) Ellen (email) - What's the big deal with going from Abram to Abraham? When does Lent end?

She is 5 years old. How can I go about this? (18:22) Ronnie - Why did God change Abram's name to Abraham? (23:01) Rick - The Way of The Pilgrim seems to be more of an Eastern Orthodox book. Can you recommend this for a Catholic? (37:36)

Patrick answers listeners who grapple with faith, confession, and Catholic mysteries, offering concrete guidance and heartfelt encouragement as he moves from the depths of repentance to the trials of daily prayer and surrender. He fields questions about confession’s boundaries, the heart of Fatima’s message in modern life, and what choosing trust through suffering really means. As the conversation turns, a caller wonders if prayer is enough, but Patrick’s response is clear—keep going. Jim - Is it possible that a priest could say I won't grant you absolution until you go the police after you confess a serious crime? (01:33) Anna – What are your thoughts on the Our Lady of Fatima book by Thomas Walsh. The message confuses me. (09:06) Willie - Jesus descended to Abraham's bosom, but what happened to people in the Old Testament like Enoch and Elijah? Did they go to heaven? (21:55) Barbara - Can you explain the Surrender Novena to me? How can I accept letting the Lord take care of everything. (35:03) Nancy – How long was Christ on the cross? (45:26)

Patrick answers heartfelt calls about everything from praying the Rosary behind the wheel to whether a spray bottle baptism counts. He threads together practical advice about faith in daily life, breaks down scriptural puzzles like the identity of the Nephilim, and even shares flashes of his own spiritual journey. Soldiers facing battles, challenging Church teachings, and questions on church law all surface, and Patrick meets each one with candor and a steady presence. Barb - I heard it is wrong to say a Rosary while making dishes or soup. Do you have any thoughts on this? (00:37) April - Why are there giants in the Bible? (03:57) George - I am a Vietnam Veteran. I remember getting absolution before going into battle but what if you die in battle without going to confession? (10:05) Andrew - I am a Protestant Hospice chaplain. I listen to your show to support my Catholic hospice patients. Nevada is another state that requires pastors and priests to report. (17:24) Brian - How do I speak of answering yes to God's call? How did you get to do what you are doing now from being an apologist to a radio host? (21:13) Steven - The Priest can't break the seal of Confession. I thought the priest could report it if he gave counseling to someone outside of Confession. (32:54) Jake - Can you use a spray bottle for baptism? (38:13) Sal - When Jesus was carrying his cross, he stopped and talked with the women. He told them not to cry for me. What period of time was Jesus warning them about? (41:32) David – What does it mean to believe on the name of Jesus? (45:22) Lisa - John 6:60 is when some of the disciples fell away from Jesus. Is this a useful point to bring up in debate with Protestants? What is your thought on this and also in relation to the Mark of the Beast? (47:40)

Patrick explores faith’s practical questions through honest listener interactions, offering ways to handle suffering and confession, even as he gently challenges assumptions about spiritual maturity and everyday life. He addresses marriage struggles, the pain of regret, and the hope found in sacramental practices, always weaving in wisdom from Catholic tradition and lived experience. Queries about family, intention in prayer, and different Catholic rites receive thoughtful, sometimes surprising responses that linger well beyond the broadcast. Breanna (email) - What is the proper way to offer suffering up? (00:44) Chris (email) – Protestants go to hell? I must have misheard or misunderstood what you said. Thank you for clarifying it. (13:29) Stephanie (email) - The Church keeps drilling it into my head - go to Confession, go to Confession, go to Confession. Even if I don't really have anything to confess? (18:50) Rosie - My husband let me know he is leaving and I am pregnant with my 4th child. He said the only way he will stay is if we use contraceptives. What can I do? (28:41) Dustin - You were talking about liturgical rites yesterday. How many rites are there? (39:02 Lisa - Did you have any recommendations on Catholic homeschooling program? (43:27) Sylvia (email) – My husband is very verbally and physically abusive, but I stay with him because I’m Catholic. (44:52)

Patrick answers questions about raising faith-driven kids, honest struggles with temptation, and the complexities of sacramental life, weaving real stories and sharp responses with a quick sense of humor. His conversations with parents and young adults press into everything from college challenges and liturgical questions to forgiveness, purity, and the mystery of spiritual warfare, all without shying away from the rawness of redemption or everyday frustrations. Jenna - As a mom of 7, I think it is beautiful that a man called in wanting a chaste woman. (01:21) Lisa (email) – This brings to mind Rahab. Rehab was chosen by God to be in the lineage of Christ. How amazing how he loves to redeem us. (05:46) Alexis (email) - This poor guy has a preference! He wants a certain type of woman who has lived a certain type of life. Good on him! (06:48) Email - My husband had a pornography addiction prior to marriage for which he sought counseling at that time. I think we both assumed at the time we were married that he would be free from that addiction, but it has persisted for the last 15 years of our marriage. (07:30) Mark (email) - Why, during Mass, do we use a "Responsorial" Psalm rather than just reading the Psalm as they are in Scripture? (10:27) Jamie – I think it’s wonderful for a young man to try and find a pure young woman (12:35) Ben - Can you get married in a Church that has the tabernacle off to the side? (18:59) Joe - How can I identify attacks from demons? I feel like going to Confession is similar to identifying the presence of the devil. What do you think? (22:29) Al - After we go to Reconciliation, are we going to be judged for all of the forgiven sins that we committed? (33:41) Jeremy - What are your thoughts about a popular exorcist priest saying that demons can interject thoughts into the mind? (38:33)

Patrick starts the hour with a sharp analogy about spiritual perseverance, linking everyday distractions to the struggle between temptation and encouragement. Calls pour in as listeners wrestle with questions about demons, intrusive thoughts, church customs, family duties, and difficult parish gossip.

(18:32) Charles - How does our obligation of obedience to our parents change in adulthood? I am thinking about this because I am a parent now. (23:49) Annie - After mass on Sunday, our Church has coffee and donuts. I always hear the servers gossiping about each other and Church members. What can I say? Should I talk to pastor? (28:03) Serena - My son won’t speak to me anymore. It is heartbreaking. What can I do? (36:25) Scott - My family member married a virgin. Marrying a virgin is not always ideal, I think.

What will happen to my wife and daughters who aren’t Catholic? (10:53) Kakette - I don't have an issue with AI music if it is beautiful. What is the problem with having AI generated music?

(28:21) April - Why doesn't God just show his power and reveal himself like He did in the Bible?

(01:24) Bobby - Will all non-Catholics go to hell or is there a Church law that rectifies this? I think being Jewish is ethnic for sure but also a choice not to believe in Christ. (10:22) Rick - It is possible that people can choose Christ in Purgatory? We need to stop arguing about what happens there. (21:18) Dave - I heard that only the soul who wants to be damned is damned. How does this correlate with the readings in the Bible? (36:00) Devin - I affirm that you are right about no salvation outside the Catholic Church. The Council of Florence backs this up. (41:06) Patrick in Ohio - How does Ephesian 4:14 fit into what you are saying? (42:53)

(29:16) Alex - What does the Catholic Church teach about finances and starting a business? (36:50) Patrick shares a couple of emails from today’s show Joseph - I heard Vatican II sought to preserve the Latin Language. How come the missal is in English, if this is true? (43:17) Peter - I am a Melkite Catholic who loves the Orthodox, but they are still holding onto the Crusades. They have adopted Protestant thinking. (46:36)

Patrick tackles layered questions about the Mass, clarifying that each celebration draws believers into Christ’s original sacrifice at Calvary, never repeating it. Calls pour in about marriage, confession, and salvation; Patrick listens, guides, and responds with honesty and warmth, urging listeners to confront their histories and trust God’s mercy while offering unflinching advice on overcoming stumbling blocks. Eric (email) - Is the sacrifice that happens at each Mass distinct from Calvary and any other Mass (i.e. is Jesus sacrificed multiple times?) OR is the sacrifice of every Mass a participation in some mysterious way in the sacrifice of Calvary (i.e. Jesus was only sacrificed once and for all at Calvary)? (01:01) Kathy - I was married in the Lutheran Church and got divorced after 15 years. I got remarried and divorced again years later. Was I committing adultery the 2nd time?

(10:42) Patrick in Trenton, NJ - I want to add to Marty's question (from the end of the first hour). Staying in communication with God is what helps me. I find myself losing patience, but when I remember this, it helps. (17:58) Brian - Does everything we are surrounded by have the ability to be possessed? (I am thinking of Harry Potter Books and Pokémon cards). Do we have free will? (20:50) Dan - Isaiah 6:1 refers to the Lord of Hosts and before then it talks about a Seraphim. It seems to suggest this angel is not just spiritual. If they have reproductive organs, are little angels being made? (26:42) Jerry - I heard that Catholics shouldn’t receive communion in a non-Catholic Church. Did Christ descend into hell? (41:25)

(19:09) Angel - I remember Chuck Norris as a mellow and kind person. Do we know anything about St. Jospeh's parents?

(08:24) Audio: George Harrison and John Lennon talk about having money - https://youtube.com/shorts/5rM41yhWkgw (17:00) George - I think you are hanging up a bit on the term Classical music. It is the staying power that makes it classical. (20:50) Elva - Could it be possible that Elizabeth told John about Jesus in the womb? (23:35) Stuart - Was St. John spared a violent death because he took Mary in? What could the reason be? Why was he spared? (26:26) Colleen - How do I handle a family situation involving cohabitation?

(30:51) John - Jesus said that it was neither the blindman's sin or his parents that caused his blindness, yet in today's Gospel, Jesus tells him to go and sin no more.
