The Patrick Madrid Show: September 30, 2024 – Hour 2

Special Guest Host Fr. Matthew Spencer delves into the importance of marriage validity, the process of seeking an annulment in the Catholic Church, and discerning one’s vocation.

 

  • Joanna – My ex-husband was not Catholic. My dad paid the priest a bribe to marry us. Was it a valid marriage? (00:56)
  • Elizabeth – Is seminary only for the priesthood or can young men use it to discern their vocation? (05:33)
  • Angelica – My husband and I were not married in the Church. Would having the sacraments magically help our troubled marriage? (14:35)
  • Jared – I’ve been praying the “Surrender Novena”: What does it look like to surrender your life to God? (22:22)
  • Nancy – What is “energy psychology”? (31:30)
  • Nicole – My husband and I don’t drink out of the chalice because we know we have an STD. Is that okay? (38:10)
  • Mary Beth – I confessed the sin of scrolling on social media. Father told me to watch a movie which really disturbed me. I don’t know if he told me it as penance or just a suggestion. What do you think? (43:57)
