The Patrick Madrid Show: October 06, 2025 - Hour 3
The Patrick Madrid Show
Patrick helps listeners wrestling with everything from cremation and honoring parents to whether non-Catholic Christians truly follow Jesus. He fields heartfelt calls about struggles with confession, temptation, and even what to make of calling a police dog an officer, all while sharing Catholic teaching and plenty of warmth. The conversations fold humor, practical advice, and surprising depth into each moment. * Patty - I had my mother cremated. Can I take my mom's ashes to Church? (00:56) * Anthony - A priest told me that lust is not a mortal sin. I am confused. Can you help me? (06:01) * Tom - I am embarrassed to go to Confession. How can I get the courage to go? (12:26) * Daniel - If I was pro-choice and my parent was pro-life; would it be a sin to try to convince them to be pro-choice? (19:29) * Wayne - Martin Luther took people away from the sacraments. Are the people who walked away from the Catholic Church still Christians. (21:41) * Jim - I have been in education for 48 years. I think that homework should increase 10 minutes per grade level. (31:42) * Meredith - At the mass I go to, they don't give the Blood of Christ. Does that go against teaching to give out only the Body? (35:44) * Jim - Do you think that calling K9 dogs, 'officers' is a violation of Catholic teaching? (41:20) * Audrey – A person came over to me and told me not to say the St. Michael prayer out loud after mass (44:53) * Dylan - I encountered a different Mass where people were standing before Communion instead of kneeling.
