The Patrick Madrid Show
Patrick delves into the intricate topic of excommunication within the Catholic Church. Responding to a listener's query, Patrick explains the nature of this canonical penalty, its purpose, and how it differentiates from sin. He emphasizes that excommunication is not a condemnation to hell, but rather a "medicinal remedy" aimed at bringing the individual back into the fold. * Nathaniel - I was in the convocation for the Diocese of Pueblo - it renewed my hope for the church (02:39) * George (email) – Wouldn’t jumping on a grenade to save your friends be suicide?
