Summary
- On today's Patrick Madrid show, Patrick discuses wrestling against the principalities and powers with Al, Paul has a question about Baptism, and Sam wants to know, can you date someone if your annulment is denied. Patrick offers thought provoking answers and commentary to help listeners better understand the Catholic faith and what the Church teaches.
- (00:38) Al - Principalities and powers: why does it say we wrestle against them in Ephesians as if they are bad, if they are Angels?
- (3:30) Paul - My friend had twins who were born prematurely and got baptized but the priest didn't use the word 'you' when baptizing but the baby's name. Is it still valid?
- Break 1
- (20:20) Marilyn - We prayed the rosary before Mass yesterday. We prayed the Sorrowful Mysteries on Sunday because of Lent but I had never heard of that. Is that a thing we should be doing?
- (23:13) Email – Sam – If someone was married by the Church and was denied an annulment can they date someone?
- (28:54) Norma - I am getting married this summer and one of our guests is gay and he wants to bring his partner. What should we do?
- Break 2
- (38:10) Tyler - It looked like the priest put water on his fingers and then on the child's head, that alright?

| 0:51.8 | principalities and powers, but then in Ephesian 6, it talks about how we |
| 0:56.1 | wrestle against principalities and powers. How does that be quick? |
| 1:00.0 | Ah, great question. So this can be understood in terms of the fallen principalities and powers. |
| 1:06.5 | So those are two of the nine choirs of angels as we encounter them in scripture and there are |
