Summary
- Patrick responds to an email about removing life support
- Ken - You mentioned that a priest should wear a stole during confession. Is a confession valid if they do not?
- What are the Valid forms of matter for the sacraments?
- Mike - My sister is fallen away Catholic. Is there an Audio Book you could recommend for her to listen to? She cites Luke 9: 49-50 this as a source that Jesus didn't care what type of Christian you were. How do I respond?
- Grace – Is there something called a “Dry Mass?”
- Mark - Can someone go to mass twice a day on a regular basis to receive Jesus twice?
- Patrick - I am struggling with sin and have been trying to go to confession weekly. Last week I felt really distant but after confession I felt like it pulled me back.
- Roger - I have only made one confession in my 40 years of being a Catholic. Should I set up a time to have confession with a priest or just go at the normal time and stand in line?
- Teresa - Is there a limit to how many people can be announced for the mass intentions?
- Anna - Are spouses living in sin if their marriage should be annuled?

| 0:14.6 | It's the Patrick Madrid Show on Relevant Radio. |
| 0:18.9 | Let us proceed. |
| 0:25.9 | Welcome back, 888-914-9-49. That's the number to call. You can call now, |
| 0:31.0 | because I do have a couple lines open. Phone call is coming up in just a minute. Dear Mr. Madrid starts an email from Michael in Illinois. He wrote to me over the weekend. He says, |
| 0:36.4 | Dear Mr. Madrid, by the way, Michael, call me Patrick, please. |
| 0:39.3 | I want to thank you for your daily broadcast. |
| 0:41.3 | I find the variety of topics that you discuss very interesting. |
| 0:43.3 | I also find your calm and thoughtful analysis of so many moral questions very refreshing. |
| 0:47.3 | Well, thank you. |
| 0:49.3 | A specific example, he says, was your conversation with David, the physician, |
| 0:53.3 | arguing in favor of abortion |
| 0:54.8 | in difficult circumstances. Your responses to him were very well set out. I did have a further thought, |

| 1:10.3 | same, the death of the person. |
| 1:12.5 | I suggest that in such cases, removing life support is not the equivalent of causing death because death has already occurred. |
| 1:19.6 | A person with using David's example of severe brain stem injury has already died. |
| 1:25.6 | The exact moment of death might not be possible to |
| 1:29.0 | define depending on the specific person and medical condition, but death has occurred. The use of |
| 1:34.1 | artificial means of life support does not cause life. It is simply a technique that buys medical |
| 1:38.8 | professionals sometime to determine whether a course of treatment is possible. Once in the best faith analysis of medical personnel, no practical treatment is available. |
