Summary
Patrick has fierce and candid exchanges about faith, politics, and the temptation to outrage, challenging listeners to separate the emotional pull of the news cycle from their devotion to Christ. Calls pour in, some fiery, others searching on the Church’s response to war, presidential words, and the meaning of just action, while Patrick insists on seeing every issue through the prism of Jesus’ command to render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.
- Brad - How can we take the argument that we need to save Iranians from their regime and threaten to wipe out the entire population seriously? (06:09)
- John - Is it a sin to assume my wife is in heaven? (11:14)
- Bobby - I think you are minimizing and conflating with the Pope vs Trump. (13:28)
- Todd - Why do people not actually listen to the Patrick Madrid show? (20:29)
- Albert – Why didn’t Pope Francis say a word when the FBI went after pro-lifers? (24:55)
- Al - People fail to realize that the war from Iran had to be done. They financed Hezbollah and Isis. (28:13)
- Mike - Patrick Madrid shouldn't give his own opinion. (35:02)
- Carla – It seems you are even and it’s the callers that are Trump lovers (43:11)
- Sam - What would the Pope do if we didn’t attack Iran and they got the nuclear weapon? (46:26)
