Patrick tackles layered questions about the Mass, clarifying that each celebration draws believers into Christ’s original sacrifice at Calvary, never repeating it. Calls pour in about marriage, confession, and salvation; Patrick listens, guides, and responds with honesty and warmth, urging listeners to confront their histories and trust God’s mercy while offering unflinching advice on overcoming stumbling blocks.

 
Eric (email) - Is the sacrifice that happens at each Mass distinct from Calvary and any other Mass (i.e. is Jesus sacrificed multiple times?) OR is the sacrifice of every Mass a participation in some mysterious way in the sacrifice of Calvary (i.e. Jesus was only sacrificed once and for all at Calvary)? (01:01)
Kathy - I was married in the Lutheran Church and got divorced after 15 years. I got remarried and divorced again years later. Was I committing adultery the 2nd time? (07:01)
Jim - If you are a Protestant, would you be welcome in heaven like Catholics are? Do Catholics get into heaven first? (17:18)
Marty - What about the thief on the cross? How could Jesus have accepted him? (36:47)

Patrick welcomes listeners with an update from Cat on her journey into the Catholic Church and shares genuine advice on Sunday obligations, confession, and true presence in the Eucharist—all through candid, everyday conversations. From exploring concerns about pop culture and spiritual influences to tackling questions about why Catholics refrain from non-Catholic communion, Patrick moves fluidly between heartfelt encouragement and sharp theological clarity.

 
Cat - I called in 2023 asking about Confession and am now I’m becoming Catholic because of you. (00:59)
Patrick shares Cat’s call from 2 years ago - https://relevantradio.com/2023/06/the-patrick-madrid-show-why-the-seal-of-confession-can-never-be-broken/ (03:26)
George - Is it ok to visit homes with a realtor on Sundays? (10:42)
Patrick in Trenton, NJ - I want to add to Marty's question (from the end of the first hour). Staying in communication with God is what helps me. I find myself losing patience, but when I remember this, it helps. (17:58)
Brian - Does everything we are surrounded by have the ability to be possessed? (I am thinking of Harry Potter Books and Pokémon cards). Do we have free will? (20:50)
Dan - Isaiah 6:1 refers to the Lord of Hosts and before then it talks about a Seraphim. It seems to suggest this angel is not just spiritual. If they have reproductive organs, are little angels being made? (26:42)
Jerry - I heard that Catholics shouldn’t receive communion in a non-Catholic Church. Did Christ descend into hell? (41:25)

Chuck Norris has passed away. (00:46)
David - If a person receives the sacraments a couple days before they die and they don’t sin, will they become a saint? (06:03)
Gaby - You mentioned something that made me rethink myself. You are grateful for what you do, and it made me think more about what I do at my job. (09:01)
Jim - Can a Protestant receive Confession if they have already been baptized and agree the priest has the authority to forgive sins? Can someone about to enter the Church receive the sacrament? (14:02)
Joseph - What does the star on the top of the Miraculous Medal mean? I have heard those are cursed. (19:09)
Angel - I remember Chuck Norris as a mellow and kind person. Do we know anything about St. Jospeh's parents? (30:57)
Mel - I have trouble understanding that if I went to another Church that I couldn't take Communion. Can you explain this? (33:48)
