Summary
Patrick clarifies the long-standing debate about Mary as the mother of God. Addressing misconceptions, he explains how the Council of Ephesus in 431 declared Mary as Theotokos, meaning God-bearer. Patrick explains why Mary is indeed the mother of God, emphasizing that the divine person born to her is Jesus Christ, true God and true man. He puts to rest common misunderstandings and highlights the importance of this doctrine in grasping the incarnation and our faith.
- Nick - I have a nephew married outside the Church. Could he still take communion? (00:34)
- Patrick shares and adds comments to a tweeter thread from @Catholic_bro: “Once you deny the Mother of God title; you’ll eventually embrace numerous heresies” (09:33)
- Michael (email) - One can only wonder if there is a parallel between those 300 years without "the church" in Asia and the future of Catholicism in these United States. Will future explorers come here only to find only the FSSP carrying on the faith? (20:27)
- Raul – How do I respond to people who say, “Where does it say that in the bible?” (28:56)
- Angela - What does the bible say about working with toxic people? (37:21)
- Marilyn - Were Mary and the Apostles baptized? (46:36)
- Tommy (7-years-old) – Hasn’t Jesus always been God, so how could he be born? (49:23)

| 0:12.6 | encouragement for your day. |
| 0:14.7 | It's the Patrick Madrid show on Relevant Radio. |
| 0:19.7 | All right, this is hour three, and it'll go by fast. |
| 0:22.9 | So if you've been thinking about calling, I would call now 888-914-9149. |
| 0:28.8 | How about Nick in Frankfurt, Illinois? |
| 0:30.8 | Hello, Nick. |
| 0:33.0 | Hello, Nick. |
| 0:33.3 | Hello, Patrick. |
| 0:34.6 | Thank you. |
| 0:35.5 | Yeah, you're welcome. |
| 0:36.0 | I'm on the phone with somebody, and she has a nephew that is interested in getting back to the church. He's going to mass. He was married outside of the church in a Christian denomination, and she advised him not to go to Holy Communion. Now, I know some nuances, and I said, before I give her an answer, I should call you. What is the teaching there? |
| 0:55.3 | If he's in a state of grace, can he go to communion in the Catholic church, even though |
| 0:59.6 | he was married outside of it and has a valid Christian marriage? |
| 1:02.6 | What is your talk on that? |
| 1:05.3 | Okay. |
| 1:06.3 | I have to take a step back here. |
| 1:08.4 | The first thing I can say is anybody in the state of grace, who is Catholic, is eligible |
| 1:14.1 | to receive Holy Communion, and we can come back to that. |
| 1:17.8 | However, it seems to me that he is not in the state of grace because if he is Catholic |
| 1:24.6 | and didn't fulfill the obligation to get married in the Catholic Church, his marriage is objectively invalid. |
| 1:31.3 | So presuming that, you know, that he didn't get a dispensation from the bishop and he is living with this woman as married legally, married in the eyes of the state, but not in the eyes of the church, |
