The Patrick Madrid Show: May 01, 2026 - Hour 2

Patrick welcomes callers wrestling with Catholic teaching on salvation at life’s end, marriage validity, blessings, and why the Catholic Church holds primacy over Orthodox communities. Questions about belief in the Eucharist and heartfelt appeals for better catechesis pulse through the conversation, with stories from once-skeptical converts interspersed with plainspoken, sometimes urgent advice. The message in every exchange: keep going, seek truth, and remain open to unexpected grace.

 

• David - My brother passed away. Were my sister's prayers for him enough to get him into heaven? (03:24)
• Mary - Can people bless other people without having a religious background? (13:57)
• David - How do you know that the Catholic Church is the one, holy, and apostolic Church and not the Orthodox? (20:45)
• Erin - Why can't we modify the Creed to include belief in the Eucharist? (31:24)
• Ralene - Seeing a lack of faith in the Eucharist has been hard for me to watch. I am in adult religious education. I don't think an Ecumenical Council will help. I think we need better religious education. (39:38)
