Patrick answers listener questions about which books can help someone defend their faith, if it’s okay to baptize someone who is in hospice and might not be able to respond, is it permitted to seek out another diocese when it comes to confirmation, and why do Catholics think they need to be married in a Catholic Church?

| 0:00.0 | Can I get a beef taco, please? Oh, we don't do that here, sir. Can I offer you our vegan gluten-free broccoli tacos with cashew cheats? Compelling insights. Unpredictable conversations. Encouragement for your day. It's the Patrick Madrid Show on Relevant Radio. How about some chicken fajitas? Can I do chicken fajitas? No chicken fajitas either, sir. How about some crispy kale lettuce wrap? A what wrap? Crispy kale wrapped in lettuce with a side of vegan coleslaw. So it's a salad wrapped in a salad with a side of salad. I need to, you know, if I weren't doing this job, Cyrus, you know what I would love to do? And I'm being serious about this. I would love to operate a taco truck. A taco truck. I was going to say, I would have said taco truck. I would totally do it. I mean, I'm doing this, and this is what I want to do for the rest of my life, please God. I like tacos. Hey, this is my first customer. Can you see me rolling up in my taco truck? I would happily be your first customer. And I would say after I got my taco. Now, that's what I call it taco. That's right. Maybe that's what I'll call the company. Now, that's what I call a taco. Can I invest? |
| 1:13.1 | We'll talk. |
| 1:13.9 | All right, let's talk. We'll talk. We'll talk over tacos. |
| 1:17.4 | Let's see. Let's go to Joseph in, by the way, phone number, sorry, Joseph. Hang on, 888-914-9. |
| 1:24.8 | 88-9-149. 8-8-8-9-149-149 welcome Joseph in Rancho Cordova, California. |
| 1:35.5 | Oops, let's see. Let's try it again. Start over, Joseph. Sorry. |
| 1:40.1 | Oh, yes. Thank you for taking my call, Patrick. And I'd like to ask my question. |
| 1:46.3 | What book can you recommend for, let's say, I would love to learn how to defend a faith |
| 1:55.5 | against for people who are highly intellectualized, rationalist, scientific, highly philosophical, PhD-level type, |
| 2:08.5 | how can I defend my faith against, or explain the faith to people who are non-believers of that level of, you know, that level. |
| 2:24.2 | There are different ways to go about it. |
| 2:26.1 | If you're looking for a good author who is really very effective at doing that, |
| 2:31.9 | I would recommend Father Robert Spitzer. |
| 2:35.6 | He's a prolific author. He writes for, you know, a sophisticated intelligent audience. He writes, not all the time, |
| 2:43.8 | not all of his books deal with this, but he's appealing to, for example, scientifically minded |
| 2:48.8 | atheists, for example. Right. |
| 2:50.9 | So, and his, his material is very high, I don't mean to say high level like it's inaccessible, |
| 2:56.8 | but it's definitely written for the kind of person that you're describing. |
| 3:04.9 | What do you think? |
| 3:07.5 | Father Robert Spitzer, I think, is this the blind priest, sir? |
| 3:12.9 | I believe he's legally blind. |
| 3:14.8 | I mean, he has some sight, but yes, that's him. |
