The Patrick Madrid Show: July 14, 2025 - Hour 2

Patrick tackles the thorny divide between Catholics and Protestants on faith and works, pulling from Scripture while fielding heartfelt listener questions—everything from tricky family dynamics and workplace dilemmas to discerning adoption and skepticism about viral miracle stories. This episode weaves honest confrontation of doubts with direct, faith-driven answers on real-life moral scenarios.   Patrick continues to answer Preston’s question from the end of the last hour.

(32:53) Adam - Would you classify as good works things like attending Mass every Sunday, frequenting confession, and receiving the Eucharist?
