The Patrick Madrid Show: October 29, 2025 - Hour 2

Patrick takes calls about silence in church, the meaning of praying for peace, and tough moral questions about suicide within Catholicism. He responds to stories of cross-dressing teens at parish events, holding hands during Mass, and questions about annulment, tossing in practical solutions, encouragement from scripture, and personal stories.   Araceli - What do you think about getting to Church 15 minutes beforehand? When I arrive early, people are chatting like they are in a coffee shop. (02:37) Mary - We are supposed to pray for peace on earth. This seems to go against human nature? Why should we pray for peace? (09:45) Erin (email) – Is there hope for the mentally ill? (17:32) Patricia - My daughter is marrying a married and divorced person who was baptized. Does he need an annulment? (22:43) Janelle - I went to a new Church, and they raise their hands up. Is that normal now? (32:49) Rick - Saying the Rosary before the Mass seems to keep things reverent and quiet beforehand. (39:09) Michael - You have to have faith. Praying for peace on earth is a pipe dream. Why pray for something that is not realistic. I have no faith that this will be answered. (41:02 Sean - Is it ok to hold hands during the Our Father during Mass? 48:23)
