The Patrick Madrid Show: April 24, 2025 - Hour 3

The Patrick Madrid Show

Patrick covers topics like the sacramental rules around confession and anointing during emergencies, the meaning of incorruptible saints such as Carlo Acutis, and how God's providence fits with human free will and the effects of prayer. Patrick also shares insights on Church history, explains the significance of blessed objects, and discusses how priests should present themselves in public. For anyone seeking clarity on Catholic teaching or thoughtful answers to life’s big questions, Patrick delivers practical guidance and encouragement for your faith journey.

• Saul (email) - In the case of an emergency, such as war where no Catholic priest is available to hear confession and give a solution to people, would an Anglican, Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist or some other Christian pastor, one who believes in the Holy Trinity, be able to give the anointing of the sick, hear confession and give absolution? (00:35)
• Mary - Is Carlo Acutis body incorruptible? (08:04)
• Patrick in Mission Viejo, CA - Re: Assassination of Lincoln - Did Lincoln found and protect all of the missions from the southern border in California? (11:52)
• Tom - You spoke to a woman about free will. How much does God intercede in our lives at any time? (18:56)
• Warner - The Amish community in Central Wisconsin still store ice during the winter to stalk up for the summer (29:02)
• Albert - When people have yard sales, and they are giving away their belongings that are blessed, do those blessings go to whoever purchased the item or they stay with the original family? (31:41)
• Islamic terrorists in Kashmir attacked tourists yesterday, slaughtering 26. (37:19)
• Ed - Let's say I want to confess something, but I say my confession to a person so he can take it to a priest. Like using an intermediary. Is this allowed? (38:45)
• Will - Dispensation from a bishop may be given to a mixed couple (even if one is not Catholic). Is there like a document with the wedding certificate that gives that permission? (39:42)
• Henry - Just became a Catholic this past Easter vigil. I am Mexican American, and in my culture we call our sponsors Madrina/Padrino. Can I call my sponsor “godmother” here in the US? (43:15)
• Steve - What is the proper attire for a parish priest in general? (46:14)
