The Patrick Madrid Show: January 12, 2026 - Hour 3

Patrick answers questions about a parish that is not comfortable with giving Communion on the tongue, priestly celibacy and where it's origins came from, and also does the Church have a stance on ED medication? Patrick offers practical insight and advice on how the Catholic Church handles these and other issues.

 

• Dave - Should you receive communion on the tongue or in the hand? I recently felt called to receive on the tongue but my parish culture is not conducive to that? What should I do?

 

• Carol - Why were priests able to get married in the past but not now?

 

• Email - Christine: What is the Church's stance on ED medication?

 

• Stephanie - I work at a hospital and it's hard to find any hospital that doesn't do questionable surgeries, according to my faith. What do you suggest?
