The Patrick Madrid Show: March 05, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick fields tough, personal questions about Catholic morality, including whether participation in military special forces can align with conscience, especially when lethal orders are at play. He also addresses concerns about valid sacraments, attending non-Catholic religious ceremonies, and the meaning of redemptive suffering, bringing stories from his own life and practical Church teachings into each call.   Technical Errors – Everything is fine here. How are you? Joseph (14 years old) - Can a Catholic in good conscience be part of the Special Forces? (00:45)   Ryan - I am in a quandary.

(25:11) Patrick in Trenton, NJ - When it comes to offering stuff up, can I not take pain meds and offer that up? (33:07)
