Today's discussion is about the power of public campaigns in changing societal attitudes. Patrick shares insights from the anti-littering movement of the 60s and draws comparisons to shifting opinions on abortion. Listeners provided impactful stories on how education reshaped behaviors on littering and tipping, emphasizing personal responsibility in keeping communities clean and supportive.

Linda - Littering: I was behind a car, and they threw out their whole bag of McDonald’s food. (06:59)
Pat - I was at a restaurant in the 70’s and the service was terrible. I was going to leave a bad tip but then changed my mind. She was so happy to get the tip and I think we helped turn her day around. (10:18)
Tom - I agree with what you are saying about littering. They actually had ads about littering. The American Indian having trash thrown at his feet was really effective (12:47)
Ossie (email) - Richard Nixon started the EPA in 1970. I’m 74 and grew up in Los Angeles, I remember when we used incinerators to burn trash. (24:33)
Teresa (email) - People just walk around and throw whatever they want anywhere here in Minneapolis. (25:15)
Michael - When I was young, I was told abortion is okay because we were told that babies in the womb are just chemicals floating in the woman. But that, of course, was a lie.(29:02)
Mayra - I really like your idea of using the example of the repetition of littering can be used now with abortion. People need to hear what abortion truly is. As someone who has had an abortion, I think that people need to speak out about their abortions. (32:56)
Teresa - I agree with what you are saying. I was raped in College and abortion wasn't legal, so I put the child up for adoption. I thought it was a clump of cells. If abortion had been available for me than I may have gone down that road. (41:11)
Bill - The littering law in PA says $300 dollar fine for littering. (48:46)

The Patrick Madrid Show: November 21 2024 - Hour 3

Patrick Madrid looks into this classic Catholic-Protestant debate over whether Mary is really the Mother of God. And spoiler alert: she totally is. Let’s get into it:



The Twitter Wars: Catholic vs. Protestant



Patrick caught wind of a Catholic account on X/Twitter duking it out with Protestants about Mary. The claim? Mary isn’t the Mother of God because God existed before her. But that argument? It misses the point by a mile.



Theotokos: Fancy Greek Word, Big Meaning



Here’s the deal: the term Theotokos (from way back in the Council of Ephesus, 431 A.D.) literally means "God-bearer." It’s not just some poetic title. It means Mary bore Jesus, who is fully God and fully man, in her womb. Not "God’s incubator," not "divine rental space": she’s his MOM. That’s the whole point.



But How Can Mary Be God’s Mom?



Here’s where some people get stuck:



Protestant argument: “Mary’s a creature! She can’t be the Mother of God because God existed before her.”



Catholic truth: Mary didn’t give Jesus his divine nature (obviously: she’s not divine herself). But she did give birth to a person, and that person is Jesus Christ, who is fully God. So, she’s the Mother of God, not because she created God, but because God entered the world through her. 



Nestorius and His Bad Ideas



Back in the day, this guy Nestorius stirred up confusion by claiming Jesus was basically two separate persons: one human, one divine. Wrong. Jesus is one divine person with both a human nature and a divine nature. The Church, through St. Cyril and others, shut down Nestorius’s ideas at the Council of Ephesus, making it super clear: the baby Mary gave birth to was God himself.



"You Don’t Give Birth to a Nature."



Patrick made it clear. You give birth to a person, not a nature. Like, when your mom had you, she didn’t birth your "human nature": she gave birth to you. Same with Mary. She didn’t just give birth to Jesus’ human side; she gave birth to Jesus, the person, who happens to be God.



Why Does It Matter?



This isn’t just theological nitpicking. If you get Mary wrong, you probably get Jesus wrong. Getting Jesus wrong messes with the whole incarnation, salvation, and everything else. That’s why the Church keeps hammering this home: every generation needs to hear it.



Council of Ephesus: Let’s Get Serious



The council declared: If you don’t confess that Mary is the Mother of God (because she bore God-made-flesh), you’re in heresy. Why? Because denying Mary’s role messes with the whole reality of Jesus being God and man in one person.



So yeah, Mary is the Mother of God. Not because she’s part of the Trinity or existed before God, but because the child she bore is God in the flesh. Case closed.
