The Patrick Madrid Show: December 10, 2025 - Hour 2

Patrick fields heartfelt questions from listeners about Catholic teaching, from the fate of forgiven sins at the final judgment to the nuances of Mass intentions for the living. He shifts between clarifying the difference between perfect and imperfect contrition, unpacking scripture, and weaving in moments of humor and personal experience. Callers bring raw concerns and Patrick meets them with clear, practical wisdom, offering honest insight into the everyday reality of living out the Catholic faith.
