The Patrick Madrid Show: July 16, 2025 - Hour 3

Patrick fields pressing questions about Catholic teaching on mortal sin, moral relativism, and what truly counts as grave matter. A caller describes a broken family tie, seeking insight into relational pain, while another wrestles with the moral weight of honesty during life-or-death situations. He shares practical resources and scriptural foundations, responding to heartfelt struggles with faith, obligation, and complex family burdens.   Patrick continues his conversation with Kurt from the end of the last hour asking about the conditions of mortal sin and the “grey line” of relativism.
