The Patrick Madrid Show: February 25, 2025 - Hour 3

Patrick explores the mystery of the Eucharist and the nature of transubstantiation. Joined by insightful callers, he discusses how Christ's presence in the Eucharist transcends physical perception, touching on His body, blood, soul, and divinity. Patrick also shares inspiring stories of faith journeys, discusses the role of music in worship, and answers questions on theological nuances. Glen - Protestants are missing the body/blood and Eucharist. Their altar is simply a stage, and unfortunately, Catholics don't know the difference. (01:24) Rob - I've heard that if you take out the Eucharist from someone's throat that it would not actually be flesh/blood? (06:09) Dan - Why should the devil have all the good music? (11:00) Tom (email) – Is leaving the Catholic Church a mortal sin? (16:31) Teresa (email) – IVF: When does God assign a soul to an individual? Katie - The Director of Faith Formation at my parish is teaching that Jesus is not physically present in the Eucharist. He clarifies that Jesus is substantially present but not physically present. I am struggling to understand his point. (22:58) Carmen - Did Jesus have a Guardian Angel? (37:57) George – How did Jews during Jesus’ time think about reincarnation? (43:12) Susan - When you encourage people to come to the Catholic Church, you use a phrase that goes like this: “Come on in, the water is terrible”. Is that how you phrase it? (48:38)
