    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 09, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick answers raw questions from listeners tangled up in faith, family, and tough moral decisions, ranging from IVF and end-of-life choices to the ache of watching loved ones step away from the Church. Sharing the Catholic life honestly means grappling with doubt, exhaustion, and hope in real time, reaching for both truth and gentleness when it feels impossible to please everyone or fix what hurts. Compassion weaves through each answer, as Patrick encourages listeners to share, pray, and hold tight to trust in God’s timing even when clarity feels far away.   Email - My Protestant girlfriend and I (a Catholic) have been dating for three months after knowing each other for over a year; she is now pregnant with our child, we are both pro-life and excited, but I am unwilling to marry outside the Catholic Church while she is not enthusiastic about it—how should I move forward? (00:45) Josh - Older daughter converted from Judaism but she’s not Catholic. I feel like I'm not doing a good job of being a positive Catholic example. (06:00) Ruth Anne - Are there certain conditions that the Church would consider to be suicidal? For example, someone not eating or drinking, knowing they will die. (17:21) Jonathan (email) – Is it permissible for a church building to be sold to someone wanting to turn it into something sinful? (28:30) Nicole - I'm trying to help a lot of people towards the faith. What level should my effort be and when should I give it over to God? (31:58) Elizabeth – How do I congratulate someone in a sinful relationship who is using IVF to have children without supporting their lifestyle? (41:06) Joe - How to approach family members engaged in new age practices and how to evangelize them? (48:34)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 09, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick brings a playful spirit with references to MAD Magazine, then shifts abruptly to heartfelt, sometimes tense questions about family, faith, and Catholic identity, throwing humor and deep pastoral advice side by side. Here, conflicts between Catholic tradition and new spiritual practices push relatives apart while the struggle for unity, forgiveness, and real answers persists; practical steps mingle with open-ended spiritual journeys, all against a backdrop of Church controversies and historic challenges.   Patrick continues his conversation with Joe from the end of the last hour. Joe is asking how to approach family members engaged in new age practices and how to evangelize them? Jed (email) - Do you think that there is any merit to my theory relative to the TLM communities that are in communion with the Vatican being a major component of the "fog"?  (11:13) Emily (email) - My husband's 98-year-old grandmother has been in a nursing home for 10 years after a stroke; she is originally from Mexico, speaks only Spanish, and her name plus the use of her baptism date as her birth date suggest she may have been baptized Catholic, yet none of her children are Catholic. How can I respectfully find out if she would like to see a priest and receive the Anointing of the Sick without making assumptions or causing conflict? (16:16) Debbie - I started OCIA this past Easter after a yearlong journey. I was unsatisfied with the Protestant faith. (20:46) Eric - I have a friend who doesn't believe in Catholicism. He was surprised to hear what we believed in. Which Catechism should I give him? (30:13) Sarah - My elderly father is suffering from dementia. He hasn't been to church after his cognitive decline. Is he sinning? Should I get him to go? (38:01) Patricia (email) – How was the Catholic faith coming to the America’s good for the indigenous people who already lived here? (45:37)

    Patrick answers questions that span family history, language, and the challenges of Catholic life, blending stories of his upbringing and unexpected lessons from Carmelite Sisters with practical guidance about the canon of Scripture and priestly obedience. He shifts from laughter over grape bricks in Prohibition-era Masses to serious, nuanced advice on excommunication, confession, and the boundaries of loyalty for clergy, all while weaving in listeners’ stories that echo his own. The episode surges with warmth, candor, and an unpredictable mix of the ordinary and the profound.   Mark (email) – Do you speak Spanish a lot at home?
