Patrick answers tough questions from callers, weighing in on Harry Potter’s place in Catholic homes, differences between fantasy series, and the concerns around fascination with the occult. He fields thoughts on the origins of “Roman Catholic,” whether calling oneself “Judeo Roman Catholic” makes sense, and sorts through confusion about Jewish and Hebrew identities with historical insights and recommended resources. With callers pressing for clarity on topics from biblical symbolism to church teaching, Patrick keeps the conversation brisk, heartfelt, and unapologetically honest. Rose - Should Catholic parents allow kids to read Harry Potter and why? (01:003) Robert - Assimilation issue with Muslims: How did the United State become how it is today? (07:44) Debbie - When the caller talks about being Judeo Catholic, that could be confused with following Old Testament Laws. (22:01) Gebman - Psalm 75 uses the word horns. What does this mean? Does it mean “strength”? (35:46) Irma - I find it interesting that the earlier caller, Robert, calls himself a Judeo Christian. I thought the Old Testament was for the Jews and the New Testament was for the Gentiles. (37:16) Madeline - Is there a specific prayer that you are supposed to pray to St. Jude to get the benefits of his intercession? 2nd question: Can someone kill themselves and not go to hell? (43:23)

He fields queries on confession and rituals, all while offering sharp insights, scriptural responses, and the occasional smile when listeners push back or disagree. Calls range from bewildered to bold, and Patrick doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff as he meets every topic, from indulgences to religious freedom, head on. Justin - I feel like Holy Spirit is calling me to be rebaptized. My pastor does not agree and won't do it. Do you have any thoughts? (00:34) Rich - I discovered that Jesus denounced Catholicism, so how could he be the founder? (09:08) John - Do we need to say the Act of Contrition before you get Absolution?

(40:04) Doug - What is required to get a plenary indulgence? (42:41)

When Melissa wrote to The Patrick Madrid Show, her email was simple and direct: she’d been a bridesmaid in two weddings years ago, both involving Catholics who married outside the Church without dispensation. Now that she understands her faith better, she wonders if she sinned by participating. Patrick begins with calm reassurance. “If you didn’t know the Church’s teaching at the time, then no – you didn’t sin,” he says. “You can’t be guilty of what you didn’t know.” Ignorance doesn’t excuse every act, but it removes moral culpability when the person truly doesn’t understand what they’re doing. Still, he added, “If your conscience bothers you, bring it to confession. Just mention it briefly and leave it at the foot of the Cross.” Patrick then turns to the practical question: should Catholics attend such weddings? To explain his answer, he points to the example of St. John the Baptist. Herod’s marriage to his brother’s wife wasn’t valid, and John spoke out against it. That’s what led to his imprisonment and death. Patrick imagines Herod visiting John in prison: “Can you picture Herod saying, ‘John, I know you disagree with my marriage but just come to the reception. Keep the peace. Have a good meal.’ Do you think John would have said yes?” Patrick pauses. “If St. John the Baptist wouldn’t go along to get along, why should we?” For him, the choice is about integrity. A Catholic can love family without surrendering faith. In moments of tension, fidelity to Christ matters more than social comfort.

Patrick answers questions about whether demons hate Latin, the Church's approach to marital intimacy, and what attitude to bring to Mass, sprinkling in humor and commentary on youth slang. He fields practical concerns from callers, reflects on Catholic traditions, and offers advice for handling postpartum challenges and everyday dilemmas. Insights are sharpened as Patrick balances reverence and wit, blending ancient teachings with modern quirks. Mikaela (email) – Why do demons hate Latin? (00:53) Email – Is Viagra okay to use? (13:29) Monica - I like what you said about Latin. I think it is more of a prayer. The main language in the Vatican is English now. (20:39) Leonard - Latin was also touched to the cross. (25:29) Richard - I am confused about the act of marriage. My wife has not been able to be intimate for over 30 years. Can you clarify the sinfulness of accommodating this? (30:26) Billy (email) – What attitude should I have during Mass? Eleanor – Should we sit down when the priest sits down? (38:37) Jessica - I had a baby 6 weeks ago and have no interest in husband-and-wife duties. Am I sinning that I don't want to be available for this? (44:24)

Patrick takes calls about silence in church, the meaning of praying for peace, and tough moral questions about suicide within Catholicism. He responds to stories of cross-dressing teens at parish events, holding hands during Mass, and questions about annulment, tossing in practical solutions, encouragement from scripture, and personal stories. Araceli - What do you think about getting to Church 15 minutes beforehand? When I arrive early, people are chatting like they are in a coffee shop. (02:37) Mary - We are supposed to pray for peace on earth. This seems to go against human nature? Why should we pray for peace? (09:45) Erin (email) – Is there hope for the mentally ill? (17:32) Patricia - My daughter is marrying a married and divorced person who was baptized. Does he need an annulment? (22:43) Janelle - I went to a new Church, and they raise their hands up. Is that normal now? (32:49) Rick - Saying the Rosary before the Mass seems to keep things reverent and quiet beforehand. (39:09) Michael - You have to have faith. Praying for peace on earth is a pipe dream. Why pray for something that is not realistic. I have no faith that this will be answered. (41:02 Sean - Is it ok to hold hands during the Our Father during Mass? 48:23)

Technology glitches, tradition debates, and personal struggles tumble together in this hour as Patrick balances empathy, candor, and humor while offering practical, faith-based advice. Audio: “Cis” American liberal gets educated by transindigenous man of color. (00:34) Ron - Is all of this technology doing us any good. I am a disabled vet. I don't know what is going on anymore and I am tired of it. (05:44) Victor - I have been dreaming about my mother and brother who both passed away. Is this necromancy, wanting to see them again? (11:09) Maria - I hear that cremation is not a good idea for Catholics. (13:22) Amy (email) - What is the church’s position on donating one’s body to science? (23:12) Linda - I came from the Latin Mass recently to a newer mass. I have a problem with Eucharistic Ministers. Can you explain this? (26:43) Matt - I am in OCIA and so is my girlfriend. We are eager to get married. Does it have to happen in the Church or can we do it beforehand and then get it convalidated? (38:22) Catherine - Donating the body to science: You either get remains back cremated or body goes to mass grave. (44:21) Julie - My daughter is a very religious Catholic and thinking about getting a tattoo. (47:11)

Patrick explores tough listener questions about Catholics attending weddings outside church, marriage, annulments, and how conscience and faith intersect with family life. Candid advice weaves through topics like Communion regulations, picking a daily missal, and the depths of Catholic creeds, with stories and pop culture moments adding warmth. Sometimes, a single practical answer opens a door to unexpected honesty, leaving listeners with food for thought. Melissa (email) – I was a bridesmaid in two different weddings that were not valid. Was this a sin that I need to confess? (01:07) Terry - I take my elderly neighbor to mass. Is it ok if I brought him the Eucharist? I am not a Eucharistic Minister. (10:00) Email – What Catholic Missal should I use? (12:01) Miles (email) - Credo Populorum Dei by Paul VI in 1968 AD (14:35) Email – My husband and I are living as brother and sister until our previous marriages are annulled. (21:34) Patsy – What Bible should we give to someone if we can't get a Catholic Bible to them while they are in jail? (42:19) Email – Marriage/sex question (49:17)

Patrick opens the hour by reading a listener’s email questioning his stance on attending invalid weddings, bringing personal stories and historical context about conflicting priestly advice in the wake of Humanae Vitae. The conversation climbs from memories of seminarians who wrongly counseled married couples on contraception to callers probing Church teaching on natural family planning and the significance of following a well-formed conscience. As the hour winds down, Patrick wrestles with the challenge of Christian belief in miracles and the resurrection, anchoring his response in scripture and the lived witness of the apostles. Kevin (email) - Why don't you take the advice of priests over your own interpretation? (00:47) Brother John - Natural Family Planning was never a teaching of the Church. It came out of Vatican II. (18:53) Pat - Priest wrote letter apologizing to those he recommended birth control too. (24:58) Jeffrey - My friend wants his mom to become Christian, but she doesn't believe in the Resurrection of Christ. (38:40)

Patrick takes on pressing questions about faith and real-world struggles sent in by listeners, moving from confessions about sterilization and options for penance to exploring conditional baptism and spiritual journeys into the Catholic Church. Deeply personal stories surface, parents worry about guiding their children through today’s divided culture, callers wrestle with conscience and challenging teachings. With candor and wit, Patrick addresses analogies for the Trinity, restitution, adoption, and what genuine compassion looks like in confession. Kathy (email) – Many years ago, I had my tubes tied after my 5th child and I was aware it was a sin. Now I understand it was sin and have been to confession, but I still feel bad about it. Is there anything else I can do? (00:54) Mike - I am in OCIA and am struggling with the issue of Baptism. What makes a Baptism valid? (09:44) Dylan - You were just talking about the consequences for self-sterilization. Could adoption be a suitable penance? (25:59) Mariette - My friends are dating each other. One of them is divorced and doesn't have an annulment. I feel they shouldn't be dating. What do you think? (32:16) Jarod - Is a good way to explain the Trinity to use the analogy of identical twins? (38:00) Cathleen - I am a product of the 60s and 70s and I was told to follow my conscience. I was never told that I needed a well-formed conscience. (41:51) Jeanie (email) – Catholic’s shouldn’t attend invalid weddings because it’s a sin of scandal. (45:24) Sarah - I have friends who are on both sides of politics. Which priests do we follow? Should they even be commenting on these issues? (46:47)

On The Patrick Madrid Show, Jacqueline from Long Beach calls in with a question: Is it okay for Catholics to celebrate Halloween? Patrick explains that Halloween actually began as “All Hallows’ Eve,” the vigil before All Saints' Day, a time meant to honor the saints in heaven and pray for the faithful departed. While the modern version has become more secular – and sometimes includes dark or occult themes – its origins are deeply Catholic. Patrick shares that in his own family, they’ve always enjoyed Halloween, but in a way that keeps faith front and center. His wife, Nancy, made saint costumes for their 11 kids – like St. Michael the Archangel, St. Thérèse of Ávila, and even the Pope – so that their trick-or-treating became a lighthearted witness to Christ. Neighbors were often surprised and delighted when they met “little saints” at their doors, sparking small but meaningful conversations about faith. He reminds you that there’s nothing sinful about dressing up or collecting candy, as long as families avoid celebrating evil and instead use the day to point to God’s goodness and the communion of saints. Still, while Patrick may disagree, he respects parents who choose to skip Halloween out of devotion or caution. His advice: pray, follow your conscience, and make decisions that keep Christ at the heart of your home.

Patrick clears confusion about Catholic perspectives on marriage and intimacy. The phone lines crackle as callers question reverence at Mass and Eucharistic minister practices while Patrick untangles concerns about modesty and faith traditions, even sharing advice for a parent faced with a child’s questions about death.

(17:52) *Omar - Why do we die? How do I answer my 4-year-old? (20:19) Laurel - Is it wrong to do yoga? (25:37) Sylvia - I am a Eucharistic Minister and disagree with Dennis. I help my priest, and we clean our hands very well. (29:57) John - Is it an incitement against the Church if you criticize certain aspects of the New Mass without downplaying its efficacy? (36:12) Maria - There is immodest dress in the Church and priest said it is ok for the laity to correct people who dress immodestly. (46:12)

Patrick trades stories and guidance with listeners grappling with parish commitment, the meaning of suffering, and the requirements for being a Catholic godparent, pulling out honest advice and unexpected insights. A caller on a 15-year dialysis journey sparks raw reflection on perseverance and faith, while questions about biblical references to blood and the Catholic view on Halloween stir sincere, sometimes surprising responses. With warmth and quick humor, Patrick keeps conversations moving, mixing everyday struggles with the promise of grace. Steven - What is your expert opinion on going to different parishes over going to one expert community? (02:22) Joyce - Jewish religion believed in the sacredness of the blood because no one is worthy enough to touch it. (09:27) Jude - Have you ever been to Sandusky, Ohio? (12:07) Mary - Can you explain the sacrifice and offering up of one's pain? How can I practice this?

Real people call, Patrick answers, nothing glossed over. Jennifer (email) – There is an offensive billboard advertisement on property that my family owns (01:32) Gayle (email) - I heard a priest tell someone who was complaining about noisy children at Mass tell them: be careful how you criticize!
