Summary
Patrick delves into the fires of purgatory, Catholic politicians and their public duties, and the delineation between Catholic and non-Catholic communion.
- Eliana (13-years-old) - Why is purgatory depicted as a fiery place? (01:23)
- Joe - Biden claims to be a devout Catholic but his actions speak louder than words. Why isn’t he excommunicated? (05:08)
- Betty - If someone is baptized as a Protestant, can they receive communion in the Catholic Church? (12:03)
- Charlene - Is it okay to allow a transgender person do Mass readings? (20:03)
- Carol - I am a Baptist and we believe that it is in 'remembrance' but not the real Body and Blood of Christ. We are all able to go to communion so long as you believe Jesus died on the Cross for you or me. (25:06)
- Irene - My sister is a non-practicing Catholic. She was married outside the Church than got remarried again outside the church. Is that a valid marriage?
- Mike - Is the rebellion of the fallen Angels part of the deposit of faith and sacred tradition? (41:10)

| 0:00.0 | Good Tuesday. Compelling insights, unpredictable conversations, encouragement for your day. It's the Patrick Madrid show on Relevant Radio. |
| 0:19.1 | Well, we ran out of time, unfortunately, on that last email that came in, but I hope that my |
| 0:24.2 | quickie answer was sufficient for you, Michelle. I understand your desire to kneel at the |
| 0:30.6 | consecration, and that's the approved posture for Catholics in the United States. But go ahead, kneel anyway. And people who roll their eyes and they |
| 0:41.4 | sigh and exasperation, you know, let them do that if they wish. If need be, sit in the back. |
| 0:49.6 | I mean, that'll be less cumbersome for you if you are dealing with people who are looking down upon you literally |
| 0:55.4 | looking down upon you if you choose to kneel during the consecration sometimes those things |
| 1:01.7 | people can just be that way unfortunately 888 9149149 that's the number to call if you want to be |
| 1:09.6 | on the air call that number 888 914914-9-149. And that number, by the way, is sponsored by Catholic Order of Forrester's. Let's go to Eliana now in San Antonio, Texas. Hi, Eliana. Hi, Eliana. Hi, there. Hi there. Hi there. Hi there. the fires of purgatory because I was reading a book with my mom and my dad about it. |
| 1:32.1 | And I was wondering if it's the same as the fires of hell or not. |
| 1:36.1 | Can you elaborate on that? |
| 1:37.8 | How old are you, by the way? |
| 1:40.4 | I'm 13. |
| 1:41.9 | That is a really astute question for somebody who's 13 years old, so congratulations on that. |
| 1:48.1 | Well, the fire in purgatory that St. Paul talks about in 1st Corinthians chapter 3, he says that fire burns away or purges away the bad works of that person's life. |
| 2:03.0 | Wood hay and straw, he uses that analogy. |
| 2:05.3 | And he says that they burn up. |
| 2:07.6 | So is that the same fire as the fires of hell? |
| 2:12.3 | Now, there are different opinions on this, but more often than not, in my reading of the church fathers or, say, St. Thomas |
| 2:19.3 | Aquinas, their answer is that it's the same fire, but for those who die in the state of grace, |
| 2:27.9 | that would be people who are in purgatory, they're going to go to heaven. None of them in |
| 2:32.5 | purgatory is in any danger of going to hell. They're |
