Jeanine asked how Jesus could pray to God if He Himself is God, and one moral, questioning whether it is acceptable to reduce her work hours to care for her grandchildren in exchange for cash from her daughter. Chuck wrestled with whether he should join the Catholic Church if he does not agree with all of its teachings and practices. Finally, Chris expressed concern about an LGBT workshop being offered by a parish within his archdiocese and asked how he should respond. (00:28) Ross - My God daughter is baptized Catholic and getting married in a protestant church. Can my children participate in the wedding as flower girl and ringbearer?   (4:49) Jeanine - About when Jesus went into the desert and prayed to God.  If He is God, why is He praying to Himself?

    The Patrick Madrid Show: March 06, 2026 - Hour 3

    On Hour 3 of the Patrick Madrid show, Mark raised the question of whether Jewish people, who do not believe Christ is the Messiah, can attain heaven. Steve sought guidance on how to discuss Catholic beliefs with non-Catholic Christians who reject Catholicism. George offered a comment comparing Israel as a religious state to Muslim-majority states in the Middle East. Dave asked whether it was appropriate that he set up a prayer space for his Muslim brother-in-law during Ramadan.

Finally, Aida asked how we can know that Jesus founded the Catholic Church.   (00:38) Mark - The Jewish population don't believe that Christ is the Messiah. Does that mean they won't go to heaven when they die?   (11:32) Steve - How do I speak with a Non catholic Christian about certain Catholic beliefs which they don't believe in? He doesn't want me to pray to St. Raphael for intersession, and I don't know how to respond.   Break 1   (16:52) Miles - Iran could see a different school of thought among Muslims if USA doesn't handle the war well and I am nervous about that.   (25:58) George - I want to make a comment about Israel religious state as opposed to Muslim states in middle east   Break 2   (33:58) Dave - For Ramadan, I set up a prayer space for my brother-in-law is that okay?   (38:33) Carol - Our community leaders are trying to get everybody together including religious leaders to talk about issues and I am not sure that it's a good idea.   (42:10) Aida - How do we know Jesus made the Catholic Church?   (44:38) Dolores - Temptation does not equal identity when it comes to homosexual.

    The Patrick Madrid Show: March 04, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick shares concrete insights on plenary indulgences, the unique role of infant cuddlers, and the necessity of intention in Catholic prayer. He moves from mothers’ emotional bonds to manuscript history and the Dead Sea Scrolls, never shying away from discussing grief, spiritual confusion, or the reality of maintaining faith in a tech-driven age. Guidance flows, resources surface, and questions on the confessional seal touch nerves most would overlook.   Patrick continues his conversation with Mary from the end of the last hour about receiving plenary indulgences (00:50) Greg - Last week you had someone on talking about baptisms in a NICU. Volunteers need to hold babies. People can be infant cuddlers. (03:20) Kathleen - If you fulfill the requirement for a plenary indulgence, but you are not aware of it, do you still receive it? (05:36) Patrick shares some emails in response to the audio we played in the first hour from the young man talking about the importance of having a mom. It was so good, we played the audio again: https://x.com/eveforamerica/status/2029028891243798647 (08:21) Nicole – Where are the original manuscripts for the Gospels are kept? (14:11) Robin - My brother died by suicide 15 years ago. On a Catholic retreat, they said I had a bond to him that kept him from moving forward. Is this real? (23:03) Yolanda - If I want to teach systematic theology to children and teens, what books should I read? (28:37) Joyce - Is the requirement for the indulgence the intention of the Holy Father? (39:46) Bob - Our priest broke the seal of Confession with my daughter. What do I do? (43:12)
