Personal stories ripple through the hour, from listeners wrestling with infertility options to those struggling with marriage outside the Church, each seeking clarity and reassurance within the Church’s teachings.

 
Nancy (email) – Why do some parishes offer confession after mass but not before?
Rhonda – With the shortage of priests today, why shouldn't we allow priests to be married? Why can’t we have women priests?
Terry - I learned that God put a beautiful barrier up with infertility if there is an infection. When we jump that barrier with IVF, you will lose the baby.
Joshua - You said that the devil is not totally evil and that we aren't supposed to hate things. Should we love the devil?
Penny (email) - I was told about a nearby SSPX mission church that holds the Traditional Latin Mass
Marcela - I was away from the church for 50 years and I’ve been brought back by Patrick Madrid and Relevant Radio!
Mary - If someone married outside of Church but Catholic themselves and did not marry a Catholic, are they in state of grace? What do they do?
Jeanette - What happens to aborted babies' souls? Where do they go?

Patrick answers listener questions about everything from Catholic misunderstandings of the Eucharist to the validity of the Mass when accidental mistakes happen during readings, bringing scripture and tradition to bear on each topic. He addresses what happens to the souls lost in Noah’s flood, explains canon law distinctions on annulment, and walks through how Catholics understand prayer to saints like Mary alongside worship reserved for God alone. Some write in bewildered by family members clinging to ideas about a dome-encased earth, others seek reassurance about returning to church after decades away—Patrick responds with candor, biblical references, and a readiness for surprises.

 
Maryjane (email) - My boyfriend is Methodist. He likes the idea of Confession but said that he doesn’t believe “crucifying Christ every week at Mass” is something he could subscribe to. How would you have responded to this type of understanding of our celebration of the Eucharist?
Mary (email) - Did I ruin Mass for everyone?
Joan (email) – Does the church have any teaching in what happened to the souls of the people that died in the flood during Noah’s time?
Marshall (email) - Adultery and Annulment: If Joseph was allowed to divorce Mary for supposed infidelity, why isn’t that allowed for an annulment?
Julie (email) - Is Mass outdoors permitted by the Church?
Hunter (email) - I was just recently baptized into the Lutheran church and was very happy. Until a few days ago I had the most horrible dream that included demons visiting/harming me and I woke up with scratches up and down my arm. I won't go into detail but I woke up with this feeling/voice in my heart and stomach that keeps pulling me to the Catholic Church but I still have my issues with some Catholic dogma or doctrine. Do you have any recommendations on what I should do next?
Dee - What is the Bible actually saying about the firmament? My daughter thinks we are enclosed in an Earth dome with heaven above, and we can't get out.
James - Why is Mary elevated to a position of equality alongside God the Father and Son and Holy Spirit?

The Patrick Madrid Show: July 03, 2026 - Hour 2

Carolyn - Can a diocesan priests celebrate mas

Liana - A couple of close friends got pregna

John - If after communion is distributed there

Patrick opens up the hour exploring forgiveness and the longing for redemption, responding to listeners wrestling with decades away from the sacraments and the heaviest sins. The conversation shifts between the specifics of confession, concrete church teachings on annulments and in vitro fertilization, and the subtleties distinguishing Catholic priestly societies, all while fielding heartfelt questions about facing moral conflict in ordinary life—like how to attend an IVF baby shower as a Catholic. The current of hope, reassurance, and practical spiritual advice surges beneath every honest exchange.

 
Patrick continues his conversation with James who, just before the break asked, “Is there any hope for me?”
Cheryl - When I returned to the Church, there was an amazing priest who helped me.
Michael (email) - You mentioned to James that Mary is the highest human creature. What about Jesus's human nature? Is His human nature a creation? Is it more accurate to call Mary the highest human “person”?
Chris (email) - My first wife and I were married by a Unitarian minister.  We divorced after 8 years of marriage.  Neither of us were practicing Catholics.  I had no affiliation with the Catholic Church but was baptized in a Baptist church. I have since started OCIA classes to become Catholic.  The woman I’m dating is Catholic and is getting an annulment. Would I have to get an annulment as well?  
Ellen (email) - Why does it bother you when people ask to remain anonymous?
Judith (email) - Prior to a young man going through a bone marrow transplant that would leave him sterile, he stored some of his sperm for use with his future wife. After he recovered and married, he used his sperm with his wife’s eggs to create a beautiful embryo that became a wonderful faithful young man. This embryo was placed in the body of his biological mother.  Was this a sin?
Carolyn - Can a diocesan priests celebrate mass facing the people versus religious order priests facing ad orientem? What’s the difference between SSPX and FSSP orders?
Liana – A couple of close friends got pregnant using IVF. How should our relationship go forward?
John - If after communion is distributed there are several hosts leftover, can they be used at another Mass?
