The Patrick Madrid Show: September 10, 2025 - Hour 2

Patrick fields heartfelt questions from listeners, discussing everything from Catholic wedding validity in the SSPX, non-Catholics receiving Communion, and whether armed security belongs at Mass, to how best to encourage lapsed loved ones nearing the end of life. His responses, practical and rooted in both doctrine and compassion, reveal moments of struggle, raw honesty, and hope, all in the ordinary moments of faith and family. Prayer, grace, and the unexpected ways God works through even the most resistant hearts thread through each conversation. Catherine (email) – Can I attend a SSPX wedding in good conscience? (00:41) Mark - I know that Pope Leo met with Fr. James Martin. What is your opinion on this? Should we be concerned? (06:39) Sandra - If you are Lutheran, can you receive Communion? (10:44) John - Can we have armed security guards to solve this problem of school shootings? Can I pray for non-Catholic or fallen away Catholic? (24:07) Stephanie - My question is regarding people who don't know any better and they receive Communion but are not Catholic. Is this a sin? (30:57) Jean - What does my sister need to do before she dies? She’s not having a service and will not go to Confession. (38:46)
