The Patrick Madrid Show: June 13, 2025 - Hour 3

Patrick tackles breaking news about Israel’s major strike on Iran, weaving Catholic moral teaching on just war, historical background, and current threats from Iran together with listener questions on faith and ethics. He pushes beyond headlines—why does just war theory still matter, how do prayer and Christian peacemaking play a role when the world feels on fire, and where does modern conscience fit amid relentless violence?   After years of preparation, Israel launches major offensive against Iran and its nuclear program (00:21) Chris – In the US, if there is a threat, you can tell the police. You can’t do that on a global scale. Right now is the time for Israel to act. (12:41) Miss Ellie (email) – Is signing the words of consecration valid? 17:50) Dan - God sent Israel enemies into their city to destroy it because he was mad at what they did. Same as when He killed their first born. Are these true things? Can this relate to today? (21:42) Michael – Just war: it is sad that many will be harmed, but if this happened in the US on October 7th, we wouldn’t have negotiated with words (26:38) Diana - The war would be stopped by a regime change. (31:23) Matt - There are 3 passages about receiving the holy spirit in Acts: 2, 8, and 10. I need help on how I should bring all those passages together and how to apply that to my life. (34:14) Gary - We are visiting our daughter, and she wants us to visit a pride liberal Catholic Church. Should I go? (43:15)
