The Patrick Madrid Show: October 15, 2024 – Hour 3

Can the Catholic Church reject you after a failed marriage? Here’s the truth: the Church doesn’t reject anyone. It’s all about following Jesus’ teachings, even when it’s tough. If someone is struggling with this issue or knows someone who is, remember, it’s not about being turned away; it’s about being called to a higher standard. Stay committed, follow the teachings, and keep the faith.

 

  • Lilian – Is it wrong for me to participate in a pancake breakfast fundraiser on Sundays? (01:45)
  • Terry – I agree with what you are saying, Patrick. I don’t want us to come across as people like Father Feeney who said you need to be formally a Catholic to be saved. (04:59)
  • Mary – What do you do if the Catholic Church rejects you? When you can’t receive an annulment it feels you are excluded from the Church. (15:39)
  • Violet (9-years-old) – Is stealing a dime from your mom a mortal sin? (21:26)
  • Tiffany – Is it okay to support businesses on Sundays? (25:24)
  • Vince – I keep hearing that Jesus had four brothers, including James.  Could you clarify? (31:02)
  • Tracy – My younger brother is 16 and has been having premarital sex with his girlfriend. I’m thinking about bringing this up with the girlfriend’s parents.  Is that okay? (38:18)
