The Patrick Madrid Show: February 09, 2026 - Hour 3

Patrick answers an email question about a transition from Mormonism to Catholicism, unpacking the Church’s teachings on revelation and changes in doctrine with clarity. Questions pour in: when does transubstantiation happen, should laypeople extend hands in blessing, why cling to the past? Patrick explains the church’s origins, the unity Christ wants, and offers guidance for Orthodox, Protestant and Catholic callers wrestling with faith, tradition and marriage.   Patrick continues answering the email from the end of the last hour. What is the best way to understand and explain why Peter retained prophetic abilities and continued to add to the deposit of faith but that this charism was no longer needed after that deposit was essentially completed upon the deaths of the apostles? (00:18) LtCol Dan (email) - If what you just said is true about divine revelation, that it ended with the Apostles, how do we make sense of St. Faustina’s Divine Mercy instruction from Jesus, visitation to purgatory, etc.? (03:56) Brian - Why does transubstantiation occur during the mass? (15:58) Daniel - The priest asks us to extend our right hand forward over people being blessed. Is that appropriate? (22:24) Santos - You were talking about the Mormon Church. Why do you point all this stuff about rejecting black people? What happened already happened. When are we going to stop this. Nobody is a saint. (26:21) Ryan - I was born and raised Orthodox, and I go to a Catholic Church now. What should my next step be? (38:56) Paul - Is a marriage between a Muslim and Baptized Catholic valid? (47:10)
