The Patrick Madrid Show: May 19, 2025 - Hour 1

Patrick shares the importance of clear communication and how even simple messages can be misunderstood without proper guidance. He uses a parable to illustrate interpreting scripture, addresses if Pope Leo needs to pay US taxes, and how to make good faith decisions at home. Patrick demonstrates how clarity, tradition, and genuine connection strengthen both faith and everyday life. Martin (email) – I don’t understand the significance of “I never said you stole money” (01:40) Will Pope Leo XIV have to file and pay U.S. taxes? (17:14) Angie - What happens to our prayers if we pray for the dead who are either in heaven or in hell? How does God use these prayers? (23:26) Ray (email) - I get that we should pray the Rosary, but I feel like we as Catholics spend too much time with that as compared to one on one with Jesus. Should we be mindful that we are not spending more time praying to Mary as opposed to Jesus? (31:02) Leonard (email) - I was like Ray as well until I heard a good Catholic Priest explain that Jesus is center of the Hail Mary. (38:44) Rose (email) - Is it ok for a non-Catholic to receive communion? (40:47) John – My friend has cancer but is not Catholic. Can a non-Catholic receive last rites? (45:55)
