On today's Patrick Madrid show, how can we respond to people who justify judging others using 1 Corinthians 5:12? While Hazel's friend might be playing biblical badminton, Patrick has a definitive answer for her. Can you "name it and claim it": hear wise words Patrick has to say about the Protestant practice of claiming and how it is not Catholic. Finally, does the Catholic Church believe that there should be a 3rd Temple built in Gaza? Patrick provides the facts.
Hazel - I have a friend who is evangelical and is judging other people who post on social media and she quotes 1st Corinthians 5:12 to justify herself. How do I respond?

 
Viola - Can we claim God's word that says we can trust God or was that just for the time that the words were written? Where did Cain's descendants settle?
