The Patrick Madrid Show: March 06, 2026 - Hour 1

On today's Hour 1 of The Patrick Madrid show, Patrick discusses the situation with the Eastern Orthodox in response to an email, and an anonymous listener asks about her having to remove an IUD. Also, more on indulgences and how they work and speaking of regrets what happens if we acted outside of God's plan, and do we actually have a decision in what direction our lives take?    (00:56) Patrick talks about the Eastern Orthodox in response to an email.   (11:54) Email – Anonymous: I have had an IUD for the past 5 years. As I have grown in my relationship with the Lord, I realize this is a grave sin and am scheduling it to be removed. Can I go to Confession before removal or do I have to wait?   Break 1   (21:10) Email – What are indulgences and how do they work?   (28:30) Email – Triss: You often speak about the Catholic Church being the one being founded by Christ.   Break 2   (37:14) Therese - My god-daughter has a birthday during holy week, how can we celebrate that?   (41:52) Email – Alyssa: I was listening to that call from Sharon who regretted turning down the man at a dance. At what point are we acting in God’s plan or outside of God’s plan? How much of our lives are up to us?
