The Patrick Madrid Show: January 13, 2026 - Hour 3

Patrick addresses challenging listener questions about Catholic confession, forgotten sins, financial fraud, and married life, grounding everything in Scripture and Church teaching. He explains why sacramental confession with a priest matters, offers clarity on difficult marital issues, weighs in on moral decisions, and discusses how Catholic charitable work quietly shapes communities worldwide.

 

• Paul - Why do we go to priests for Confession? Where in the Bible does it say that’s necessary? (00:31)
• Brian - I have a moral dilemma. I own a company that has been affected by fraud. Our customer has been frauded. What should I do? (12:26)
• Luke - You just got a call about the Church being prolife in name only. The Church is the largest provider for women. (22:16)
• Irene (email) - God seems to have intense emotional human reactions, but he is God! How can this be? (30:58)
• Skip - What is the Comma Johanneum in 1 John 5:7-8? (38:09)
• Margaret – My husband is not open to children during sex. What can I do? (43:53)
• Maria - Are our guardian angels assigned to us at conception or after birth? If someone didn't accept treatment for cancer, is that the same as suicide? (49:22)
