Patrick tackles a challenging question from Cynthia about Hebrews 6:4-6 and the complexities of repentance. He discusses how, despite what the passage might imply, the Church teaches the enduring possibility of returning to grace through repentance and confession. Misinterpretations, like those of the Catharists in history, have led to dangerous practices. But remember, God's mercy is unfathomable and always available.


Cecilia - How do we understand Hebrew 6:4-6? My friend left the Church but came back, although she practiced other faiths when she was away. Is she saved? (01:10)
Joe - Can a Eucharistic Minister celebrate the Mass? (07:07)
Randy – What is the age of obligation for children to fulfill their Sunday obligation? (13:39)
Tom - I was at my nieces wedding which was Tridentine Mass. There seemed to be almost a cult like attitude, and I was wondering if you think that is the case? (19:37)
Alex - Is it okay to have conception happen outside of the womb? Does the intent of having life change how we view IVF? (36:03)

The Patrick Madrid Show: October 17, 2024 - Hour 2

On The Patrick Madrid Show, Sandra from Naperville, Illinois, dropped a bombshell that every parent needs to hear. During a routine check-up, her 17 and 14-year-old daughters were asked questions about gender identity and pronouns. The doctor told her girls several times that their parents wouldn’t be told about their answers! 



Sandra was understandably shocked and immediately yanked her kids out of that office. She’s now on the hunt for a pediatrician who doesn’t follow these new "standards" from the American Academy of Pediatrics. When she called to complain, the staff basically told her that most offices are following this same protocol. 



Patrick chimed in with a similar story from years ago, written by the late Kristine Franklin, who had her own “what in the world?” moment when her 12-year-old daughter was offered birth control by their family doctor: without her even knowing! The doc casually mentioned it when she asked the mom to leave the room for "privacy." Franklin was furious and wrote about it to warn other parents to keep their eyes open, because even well-meaning doctors might push your kid down a path you’d never want for them.



Stay in the room during your kids’ doctor visits, especially when they're asked about sensitive stuff.



Doctors might ask about sex, gender, and even things like guns in the house or church attendance.



Push back if you’re uncomfortable: Sandra did, and so can you! 



Parents, it’s more than just physical health at stake: it’s about keeping your kids' values and faith safe. Stay sharp!

What are the consequences of a just divorce? 

Patrick tackles the tough topic of euthanizing pets when they face terminal illness or extreme pain. He discusses how, according to the Church, it's not immoral to put a suffering animal to sleep, highlighting the key differences between animal souls and human souls. Euthanasia is a merciful release for pets, who can't understand their pain or time like humans do. This compassionate act spares them unnecessary suffering, unlike euthanizing a human being, which is deeply immoral due to the eternal nature of the human soul.


Monica (email) – Is it okay to put our dog, who has cancer, to sleep? (01:49)
Karen - When an adult gets baptized, their original sin is washed away.  Are the sins they committed before baptism washed away as well? (15:17)
Patrick comments on our comforts, such as air conditioning and medicine, which have made our lives easier (19:54)
Thomas - I had a Bible Study and talked about this concept on Euthanasia, the fact that our pain and suffering has purpose and God gives us the time to soften our wills.  Give time to repent? (26:51)
Brandon - What does Patrick think on rebaptism or having a second baptism? (29:30)
Jude - If a person is not married in the Church (got married civilly), can they still be a Catechist? (42:44)
Carlos - What are the consequences of a just divorce? (46:01)

Patrick tackles a sensitive topic about 'Day of the Dead' celebrations. Teresa, a caller, questions whether it's appropriate for Catholics to participate in such events. Patrick shares that while it's deeply rooted in Mexican culture, the fusion of Catholic traditions with pagan superstitions can be problematic. It's about risk avoidance and staying true to the faith. If in doubt, throw it out.
