The Patrick Madrid Show: January 21, 2025-Hour 3

Patrick answers questions about confession where a priest talks about a specific confession during a homily and also about the importance of mass compared to protestants.

Steve-What are the limits of disclosing confession? A priest during the homily said that a woman in confession the other day told him something. That seemed pretty explicit. (0:37)

Stuart-When did the protestants stop saying the mass? (11:28)

Emailer has developed feelings of attachment to her priest and is wondering how to explain change of parish to her friends? (21:37)

Gee-I am tried to raise my son Catholic. He told me he was moving to live with a woman but she looks like a trans person. What should I do? (33:16)

Charlotte-Read a book, The Gift of Love by Joel S. Goldsmith. Just wondering if you’ve heard of this book or have any information on it? It’s a non-Catholic book (35:10)

Connie-My son came over the other day and said the new Pope has approved gay priests. I looked it up and I don’t understand what all this means. Can you explain? (37:19)

Marie-Translation of the Our father. In the section where it says give us this day our daily bread, that word in Greek means super substantial, not daily. Why not use a different term? (45:08)
