The Patrick Madrid Show: August 14, 2025 - Hour 3

Patrick fields a mix of heartfelt and challenging questions, from the morality of taxes supporting objectionable causes to a child's wonder about heaven's joys, offering vivid analogies and scriptural grounding. He responds to doubts about Catholic miracles, addresses faith identity confusion, and walks seekers step by step toward the Church, all while making theological concepts feel immediate and deeply personal. Listeners grapple with practical advice on marriage, sacraments, and apologetics, and Patrick meets each with sharp clarity and unwavering encouragement.   David - Is paying your taxes a sin since you are willingly giving money that winds up in Planned Parenthood's hands?

(23:32) Norman - The majority of people that I ask who wear the cross say I am not a Christian, but a Catholic. Why is there such a separation?
