The Patrick Madrid Show: August 23, 2023 - Hour 3

Why are angles called saints? Is it okay to become sterilized if you have depression? Is it a sin that I unknowingly helped someone get an abortion? Tiffany - My uncle, who is divorced and remarried, asked why a murderer can go to confession and receive communion but he can't because he’s divorced. How do I respond to him? Nancy - I also had the scar tissue issue with my pregnancy. I prayed to Saint Raphael and everything came out well with us. Linda - My mother was told that she could never have another child because she would die. My mom had more children and didn't die. Mindy - I was dating a man and got pregnant. I scheduled an abortion. I was on the table and the doctor was about to start the abortion. I jumped off the table and told the doctor I couldn't do it. Now he is 13-years-old. Why can angels be called saints? Melissa - If you have depression and anxiety, is it okay to be sterilized so you don't have to have the stress of another baby? Jeanne - A baby survived who was diagnosed with multiple organ failure at 7 months of pregnancy. Ann - You could put the baby up for adoption if you can't raise him because of stress Mary - I told my granddaughter I would not go to their wedding because her boyfriend is joining the military. Is that okay for me to do? Anthony - My girlfriend is Baptist and she says my Catholic baptism is not valid. What should I say to her about this? Dolores - I have been deceived twice and drove a woman to have an abortion. Am I in sin because of helping unknowingly?
