The Patrick Madrid Show

Patrick discusses a caller's question about how intentionally eating meat on Fridays used to be considered a mortal sin by the Catholic Church. He explains that this was a discipline, not a doctrine, which the Church changed from a mortal sin to a venial sin or no sin after Vatican II while still encouraging penitential practice on Fridays. Patrick cites Acts 15 to show that the early Church had the authority to adjust disciplinary practices that were considered sinful to violate at the time, demonstrating that the Church can change the gravity of certain sins regarding matters of discipline. Email – Should I make three wishes when I enter a new church? (02:55) Email – What is the Seal of the Living God? (06:55) Matt - What does the Church have authority to change, like mortal to venial and venial to mortal sin? I was having a conversation about how it used to be a mortal sin to eat meat on Fridays.

Patrick explains that the Bible does not argue against Mary's perpetual virginity, but rather is silent on the issue, neither confirming nor denying that she had children other than Jesus. He points to several pieces of evidence, such as only Jesus ever being referred to as the son of Mary, Jesus entrusting Mary to the care of Saint John rather than a sibling, and some of the "brothers of Jesus" mentioned being sons of a different Mary. Patrick believes there is ample biblical evidence refuting the idea that Mary had other children besides Jesus. Steve - Terms of Service Agreement w/Disney. Many of them contain a clause that you are agreeing to financially and personally be responsible if anything may happen to that company. (01:17) Tzvi - What is the Catholic belief about the Virgin Mary, about her perpetual Virginity and the rationality behind that belief? (05:52) Joe - Why is there a new document from the Vatican regarding euthanasia and assisted suicide when there are already statements and documents written in the past about this? (16:11) Nathaniel – I need a book recommendation for a Mormon who is dating my daughter and he is considering becoming Catholic? (27:31) Zach – Regarding the church's teaching on valid baptism: the Church requires the party to do what the Church does, how does that apply to a believer's baptism? (41:37) John - Is there any theology behind the idea that people in hell would want to exist in hell as opposed to not existing as well? (45:57)

Patrick receives a call from Kaine, a listener who is currently incarcerated in a county jail in Florida. Kaine shares his emotional story of being born to a drug-addicted mother, running away from home as a teen, and facing false accusations that have followed him throughout his adult life, leading to struggles with drugs and depression. Despite the immense challenges, Kaine reveals how discovering Relevant Radio while in jail has reignited his Catholic faith and given him a renewed sense of hope and purpose. Sandra - I was told that it was hateful to post photos of aborted babies on the internet. Is that true? (01:38) Kaine - Relevant Radio has helped me from jail.

Patrick addresses an interesting listener question comparing left-handedness to homosexuality from the perspective of Catholic teaching and natural law.

Are modern wedding festivities going a bit overboard? So, Bridget wrote in with some concerns about how weddings are celebrated today. She's not thrilled with bachelor and bachelorette parties in exotic locations, brides hiring professional stylists, and couples asking for cash instead of gifts. Bridget thinks these trends miss the true meaning of marriage. Here's Patrick Madrid's opinion: 🔸 Special Day for Both: While we often hear about the bride’s special day, it's equally important for the groom. The whole "fairy tale princess" idea might be a bit much, and our culture loves to take things to extremes. 🔸 Beautiful Celebrations Are OK: Everyone wants a lovely wedding. Even in the Bible, weddings were joyous, grand occasions. Think about the Wedding at Cana (John 2) where Jesus turned water into wine. It was a massive, multi-day celebration! 🔸 Watch Out for Instagram Influence 📸: Those extravagant bachelorette parties in far-off places? Blame it on social media influencers. But let’s be real, expecting bridesmaids to shell out for airfare and hotels is a bit much. Why not save that money for the wedding itself? 🔸 Bachelor Party Shenanigans: Fancy bachelor parties can sometimes lead to less-than-Christian behavior. Maybe we should think about simpler, more meaningful ways to celebrate. 🔸 Asking for Money: Sure, wedding registries are handy, but outright asking for cash can feel a bit tacky. Back in the day, some couples did a fun “dollar dance” at the reception where guests pinned money to the bride and groom’s outfits. It was a playful and less demanding way to help out the newlyweds. Weddings today come with a lot of pressure and high expectations. It’s important to keep the focus on the sacrament and God’s role in this sacred union. What do you think? Have weddings gone overboard, or is this just the new normal?

Patrick dives deep into why the Church teaches against contraception within marriage. He discusses how the marriage act is primarily ordered toward procreation and why any form of contraception misuses this sacred act. Patrick uses insightful analogies and references key documents like Pope Paul's encyclical, Humane Vitae, for clarity. Breakdancing update UK censoring online content Travis - I wanted to comment on the riots and arrests happening in the UK. I think the prime minister is in with the world economics people.

Email – What do you think of destination weddings or other outlandish weddings? (01:18) Scattered Spider, a group of young English speaking hackers, are causing some damage (13:36) Robin (email) – I’m a lector at Mass and someone interrupted me when I was praying Helen (email) – Should we ever call someone evil?

Christina - When it comes to celebrating anniversaries, which one should we celebrate? Our Civil Anniversary or our Co-validated marriage in the Church which as 3 years later? (27:01) Gabe - If you didn't tell a spouse that you had a credit card, and the spouse found out about it, would that be considered lying?

(16:35) Christine - I feel Patrick is muddying the waters out there regarding the connection between IVF and abortion.

Patrick Madrid tackled a rather intriguing question on his show recently: Is it a sin to take something from the trash at work? Let's dive into this moral conundrum together! Check out the full hour where they talked about this! Lee writes in, "Patrick, I love your show. Is it a sin if you steal from the trash at work? I mean, like there's something you're supposed to throw away, but you keep it instead." Patrick’s advice? To avoid even the appearance of theft, ask your supervisor! Here's the scenario: You see something that's destined for the trash, but you think it could be useful at home. Simply ask, "Hey, can I take this instead of throwing it away?" This way, you're transparent, and you don't have to worry about any repercussions. Think about it: You work at Panera, and there's a ton of leftover bread and pastries at the end of the day. You know it's headed for the dumpster. Patrick suggests that if the company's policy is to throw it out, technically, you could be seen as stealing if you take it. But what if you asked first? "Hey, boss, can I take these muffins home for my kids?" If they say yes, you're in the clear! Patrick also points out that just because a rule seems ridiculous, doesn't mean you should break it. Even if it’s wasteful to throw away good food, if it’s against company policy to take it home, you should respect that. Rules, even silly ones, are part of the agreement when you're employed. Cyrus chimed in with a personal story – he’s taken food home that was supposed to be trashed. He admits he never felt guilty because the food was literally going to waste. Patrick’s take? If there's no explicit policy against it, and you ask permission, you're good. But if the policy says "No," follow it. Patrick brings up a creative workaround: What if you throw the food in the dumpster as required, then retrieve it after? Though this sounds sneaky, technically, you've fulfilled the company’s requirement. Still, asking upfront is the best route. Paul from Phoenix adds an interesting twist, suggesting that God's laws on wasting food might be more important than man's. It’s a compelling point, but Patrick cautions that violating policies could lead to bigger issues, like the company facing lawsuits or getting shut down, which could harm many more people. In the end, Patrick advises that transparency and respect for rules are key. If you're ever unsure, just ask! It's always better to be clear and upfront rather than taking risks that might not only cost you your job but also create bigger problems for others. So next time you’re tempted to rescue something from the trash at work, remember: Ask first, stay honest, and keep it ethical!

Patrick dives into the pressing issue of cell phone addiction and its impact on our relationships. He shares insights from Simon Sinek, who highlights the psychological message sent when phones take priority over personal interactions.

If you're seeking insight into living a faithful life despite difficult circumstances, you won't want to miss this powerful discussion.

He discusses different beliefs, including a rabbinic view that the soul enters the body after 40 days. Patrick shares his perspective, grounded in the idea that life begins at conception, where body and soul come into existence simultaneously.

He shares personal stories and listener emails, ranging from experiences at Sizzler and IHOP to street ministry in Texas.

(01:11) Dave - I used to work for a sanitation company. I was in charge of sorting the trash. One of the first things that I found in the trash was a crucifix.

Imagine Jesus asking you to visit the person who took the life of your own child. Not only that, but how would you respond if you felt called to give that person a Bible? How would you feel? On a recent episode of The Patrick Madrid Show, Patrick shared an incredibly touching letter from Sherry, a listener from Milwaukee. Her story is one of heartache, faith, and an extraordinary act of forgiveness that really hits home. Sherry's Story: The Letter: Sherry wrote to Patrick, feeling the need to share something deeply personal. At the National Eucharistic Congress, she and her husband attended a morning Mass and found themselves sitting next to Patrick. She saw this as a sign from God, prompting her to open up about her experience. A Tragic Loss: Sherry revealed that her daughter and unborn granddaughter were tragically murdered by her daughter's supervisor from Home Depot. The pain and sorrow from this loss are unimaginable. A Divine Message: During adoration at the Congress, Sherry felt Jesus speak to her heart. He told her to visit the prison and give a Bible to the man who killed her daughter, with his name engraved on it. Jesus conveyed that just as this man's name would be on the Bible, he is also etched in Jesus's heart, emphasizing that everyone is held in His heart. Steps Toward Forgiveness: Sherry and her husband have begun the process of visiting the prison. She described the Congress as life-changing, propelling her towards this incredible act of forgiveness. Patrick's Response: Patrick hoped that the Bible, carrying both the tragic and redemptive messages, would touch the heart of the man responsible for her suffering. A Heroic Act: Patrick described Sherry's act of forgiveness as heroic and prayed that the graces she experienced at the Congress would continue to flow through her and touch the life of the man she is forgiving. Sherry's letter is a powerful reminder of forgiveness, mercy, and healing. While the pain is probably soul crushing, she still chose to show Jesus' love to this person. May Sherry's journey bring her healing and peace, and may her loved ones rest in eternal peace. Let's also pray for the conversion of this man in prison. Lord, heal His heart.
