You’ve got to hear this! On The Patrick Madrid Show, a super smart kid named Charles from Cerritos, California, will blow you away. At only ten, Charles isn’t just playing video games—he’s tackling big issues like abortion and transgenderism.

Charles kicked off his call by diving straight into the hot topic of abortion pills now being sold at places like CVS and Walgreens. He asked Patrick whether folks who sell these pills are committing a sin. Patrick laid it out pretty clear: if you know what the pills do and you hand them out anyway, that’s wrong. But if you’re just stocking shelves or driving the delivery truck and you don’t know what’s in the packages, you’re in the clear.

Then things got even deeper. Charles wondered if it’s okay to keep working at a job where you might end up doing something against your faith. Patrick made a great comparison to being a martyr but, on a way, smaller scale. Standing up for what you believe might be tough, but it’s not nearly as challenging as the choices martyrs had to make.

Then Charles switched gears and threw out a tricky question about whether the Church would marry a transgender man to a transgender woman. Patrick was pretty clear that the Church would likely say no because of all the psychological and doctrinal issues involved.

Let’s pray for Charles to continue to be a strong light in our world and Church!
