The Patrick Madrid Show: October 17, 2025 - Hour 3

Patrick fields concerns about communion, tackles biblical support for praying to saints, and answers honest doubts about faith and science, all while peppering the hour with candid exchanges that bounce from lighthearted to deeply pastoral without missing a beat. Even tricky issues like the validity of sacraments when a priest is in mortal sin or the obstacles of getting to confession spark clear, immediate answers that keep the conversation unpredictable and real.   Robert (email) – Patrick shouldn’t share his opinions, and he was wrong when he told a man in prison that he shouldn’t take communion if he hasn’t had the opportunity of going to confession (02:28) Juan - My old friend is a pastor in a Presbyterian Church and asks why do Catholics pray to the saints? (20:41) John - Has there ever been a case where the priest celebrates Mass in a state of mortal sin? (27:44) Ed - What should we believe about evolution and the history of the world as Catholics? (36:32) Isabel - Why do we have to go to Confession once a year? (49:19) Originally Aired on 08/13/2025
