Catholic radio host answers questions on marriage, sperm, and communism

Patrick Madrid hosted the first hour of his radio show on October 28. The program focused on Catholic teachings regarding marriage and family life.

A caller named Jack asked about marital intimacy after a prostatectomy. He explained that he no longer produces sperm. Madrid stated that Jack could still engage in the natural act. He noted that the openness to the act remains intact.

Victor sent an email to clarify the previous question. He specified that Jack asked if the marital act was permissible without seminal fluid. Victor emphasized that this was distinct from mutual masturbation.

Mary, a caller who grew up in a communist country, expressed concern about young people. She said she came to America for freedom. She worried that the lies of communism were tempting the younger generation.

Sarah asked for advice after her adult son planned a vasectomy. Francisco raised a question about apologetics. He sought the best way to refute the idea that religion is bad. He also asked how to respond to those who prioritize a personal relationship with Jesus over the church.

Beth sent an email to thank the host. She praised the detailed teaching on church sexuality. Elizabeth asked about the difference between a priest blessing an object and using holy water.
