    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 02, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick tackles family tension head-on, offering clear guidance for those wrestling with upholding faith amid modern complexities, especially when family gatherings or relationships clash with Catholic convictions. He shifts quickly between profound spiritual advice, stories of gift-giving, and raw conversations about estrangement, heartbreak, and faith’s enduring relevance in home life. Unfiltered and sincere, Patrick keeps the conversation immediate, rooting every insight in lived experience and sharp perspective.   John (email) - As Catholics who view same-sex relationships and cohabitation as contrary to Church teaching, should we attend a week-long family beach house reunion where those relatives will be present and sharing the rental, or is it right to decline to avoid tacitly supporting the behavior? (00:51) Sue - There is a website called Kids-in-mind that breaks down the stuff in movies that might be problematic. (08:34) Vicki - Can I give Holy Water as a party favor at the baptism party? (12:06) Conrad - My girlfriend and I are planning to get married, but she has to get an annulment because her ex-husband had to get all of his sacraments at one time to get married. Does that not make it illegitimate? (14:08) George - What is your favorite Psalm? (21:14) Jay - My goddaughter received her confirmation at 15 and I am wondering which gift to get her. (24:55) Nancy - What do you do when your adult child (40) says they want to cut off all contact? (28:15) Jean - My friend purchased a home where the previous tenant killed himself in the home. Do you have any advice for my friend? (37:19) Patrick reads and responds to emails (Originally Aired on 06/18/2026)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 02, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick explores the enduring influence of Paul McCartney, reflecting on his Catholic background and the possibility of spiritual renewal as he marks his 84th birthday, then turns sharply to the upheaval sparked by the Society of St. Pius X preparing to ordain bishops against papal authority. Questions of obedience, tradition, and discord within Catholicism surface rapidly, paired with practical advice for those eager to learn apologetics, defend the faith, and understand scripture, Marian beliefs, and the Eucharist. From commentary on cultural icons to heated debate about schism and church unity, Patrick blends concern, encouragement, and a persistent appeal for deeper knowledge.   Michele (email) - I hear that there are some Muslims who have converted to Catholicism or at least Christianity. Is it possible to find these converts and have them on your show? (04:25) Ana (email) - Some of us are confused about Pope Leo warning of the ordination of bishops in the Society of Pius X. Why is there a group of bishops doing this? What is the purpose or objective of this society? Why don't these bishops follow the usual, formal route of Catholic bishops? (07:45) Noel - Pope Benedict lifted the Excommunications of SSPX. Liberal Catholic Churches are more in schism than the SSPX. (22:45) Luis (email) - What Catholic apologetics resources and study advice would you recommend for a father and his 13-year-old daughter who is rapidly diving into the Catechism to defend the faith? (38:56) Cheryl (email) - 1. When reading scripture, I almost always want to know what it really means - the context, and so on.  Do you have an online commentary to recommend? 2. A dear friend is 60, and was Catholic until about 15 years ago. Now she attends a Covenant church more often than not. There are three things the Church believes that she finds barriers to her being Catholic - and she'd like to more fully understand the Church's stand: 1 Mary being sinless and 2 the Eucharist being not just a symbol, and if it is really Jesus, why is it only through a Catholic priest that that can be achieved. Along with this, she feels like praying to the Blessed Sacrament is a form of idolatry. (46:55) (Originally Aired on 06/18/2026)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 02, 2026 - Hour 3

    Patrick explores everything from seeking Catholic-friendly guides to the Book of Revelation and unpacking the Enneagram’s fit with faith, to recommending movies that stir the soul or spark debate—such as "The Passion of the Christ" and "Jesus of Nazareth." Questions about intention, content filtering, and the challenge of finding beauty and virtue in art come alive as Patrick weighs in, fielding practical tips, personal anecdotes, and observations about how media shapes the spiritual journey. Conversation shifts rapidly: one moment it’s about saints and personality types, the next it’s the ethics of film censorship or the impact of watching a powerful scene in a dark theater.   Justin - Can you recommend a book that talks about the Book of Revelation? (00:47) Erika (email) - Is the Enneagram compatible with the Catholic faith? (03:26) Mike - What do you think about Mel Gibson's Passion 2 movie that he is making with an Archbishop? (09:37) Lisa (email) - Just wanted to tell you that the beautiful film Jesus of Nazareth has always been my favorite as well. (22:35) Patrick and Cyrus contemplate the pros and cons of censorship Nicki - I use ClearPlay to edit out the bad stuff. We were able to show my kids Interstellar and Marvel movies because of this. (40:35) Bob - In Mathew 5 it says, 'let the light shine before others...and see your good dead's' but then it also says, 'Don't make a big deal out of the good things you do' (44:30) (Originally Aired on 06/18/2026)

    Patrick examines changing attitudes on voting laws, identity requirements, and political rhetoric, contrasting past and present statements from public figures while questioning claims about racism and voter ID. Catholic teaching, personal experiences of discrimination, and thoughtful listener questions on sensitive topics like suicide move the conversation through history, faith, and ethics with unexpected turns. Stories of race, policy, and Church controversy emerge through Patrick’s candid engagement and layered reflection.   Audio: Justice Clarence Thomas - Progressivism isn’t just some harmless idea — it’s a direct assault on the very soul of this country. - https://x.com/DawnsMission/status/2072027458694750658?s=20 (00:20) Audio: Vintage Chuck Schumer (1996) on why IDs are a good thing to prevent fraud –https://x.com/warDaniel47/status/2072003087397429449/video/1?s=46 (02:13) Audio: Rep.

    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 01, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick answers questions on Church controversies, including turbulence around the Society of St. Pius X and concerns over sacramental validity as new bishops are consecrated despite warnings from Rome. He reflects on the meaning of liturgical rituals, global threats to Christians, discerning Catholic authorship, and the diverse practices within Church-approved movements such as the Neocatechumenal Way. A surprising moment pops up when Patrick shares the uncanny bird calls of a twelve-year-old, blending encouragement and authenticity alongside difficult conversations.   Madeline (email) - Today's first reading says, "I take no pleasure in your solemnities..." Why do we have solemnities? (00:47) Patrick addresses the emails coming in about Andrew’s call from the previous hour Audio: 12-year-old bird-calling prodigy Samuel Henderson is a master of bird calls - https://x.com/CrystalHope1979/status/2072194254424719412/video/1?s=46 (05:02) Maria - I was confirmed by an Archbishop of SSPX. Was it invalid and what are the repercussions? (09:26) George - I think about the Nigerian people being slaughtered. No one really pays attention to it. (15:16) Ceci – As a librarian of a Catholic library, do you have any authors who I should stay steer clear of? (17:17) Anne Marie - I had thoughts of suicide at times. I went to a priest who prayed prayers of deliverance and healing. (22:34) Alexis (email) - The Neocatechumenal Way is causing a very big uproar in our diocese, and I am curious what you think of it. (24:18) Gwen (email) – Please explain the SSPX issue that is happening right now. Michael - Have you ever meditated on being the last person alive to receive the Sacraments before Christ's return? (40:36) Joe - Could you give your opinion on how a short temper is connected with pride? (42:39)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 01, 2026 - Hour 3

    Patrick quickly shifts to pressing Catholic questions about liturgy, schism, and the lived experience of the Mass. He introduces thoughts from Chloe Lubinski of Anthropic, examining artificial intelligence, human language, and the consequences of technology shaped by moral voices, even referencing the Vatican’s recent focus on these developments. Spiraling through the episode are sharp contrasts—tradition and innovation, fear and curiosity, moments of confusion, and glimpses of clarity about faith, ethics, and the unpredictable future.   Audio: RFK JR The real genocide in the Middle East - https://x.com/RyanSaavedra/status/2071987700597465211/video/1?s=46 (00:56) Audio: “Understand AI – with Anthropic's Chloe Lubinski  [ARC 2026]" - https://youtu.be/aBUniZHgCnE (03:12) Walt - Please differentiating between FSSP and Institute of Christ the King Latin masses. Which ones are schismatic or valid/licit? (17:43) Mary - I attended an SSPX mass in Kansas, and wanted to share our bad experience of it and what took place there (18:49) Tom – It’s not what you get out of Mass, it’s what you put into it (23:58) Patrick - SSPX is doing what they have to do as the Novus Ordo is poison (31:05) Nick - Can you expound on my argument about salvation outside of the Church? (34:13) Carmen (email) - Is a Mass invalid if no Crucifix exists on the altar? (44:00) Ron (email) - The twin quakes that have devastated Venezuela (and the many notable tremors that have shaken various locations worldwide) are a direct signal to both Pope Leo and President Trump that the time has come for them to unquestionably demonstrate allegiance with the supremacy of God's will over ANY fallen earthly concerns that may be tempting them through the diabolical plans of Satan. (46:49) Christine (email) – Should I tell someone I’m fasting? (49:12)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: June 30, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick opens the hour threading through Catholic marriage, liturgy, and real-life listener concerns: the meaning of ad orientem, the urgency of public comment on restorative reproductive care, and tough choices families make amid faith and relationships. He fields worries about annulments, mixed-faith couples, and how tradition blends with conscience in both public prayer and private moments, wandering into tattoo removal and the subtleties of sacramental validity with direct, candid answers.   Fr. Jim (email) - It seems to me that using “ad orientem” as reliable reason for supporting the LTM is weak.  (00:59) Patricia (email) - My longtime friend is divorced and she and her fiancé are waiting for his divorce to be finalized before they marry. They do not attend church. They live together. Could you send me some links, websites, information or RR podcasts that discuss annulments. I know she will invite me to their wedding and expects that I will attend. I will pray that they return to the sacraments. (09:04) Elizabeth (email) - Given that my son and his fiancée currently live together with no plans to change that, my question is this; if they do agree to get married in the church (Catholic or Lutheran) would this marriage be considered “valid”? (14:10) Email – There are some Catholic charities that will help with the cost of tattoo removals (22:48) Angela (email) - I did not go to Sunday morning (or evening) Mass last Sunday because I was not feeling well, but later that same evening I ended up walking on our treadmill at home (not the gym) because I felt a little better. Do I need to confess missing Mass before receiving Holy Communion this coming Sunday? (26:57) Lance - What is the difference between praying out loud and praying silently while alone in a room? (30:18) Ann - Spoke a year ago about my daughter dating a Muslim. You gave me the right words, and they dissolved the relationship on their own. Thank you. (36:20) Melissa - The validity of priesthood in the church: What are the biblical evidence, or other sources on the validity of sacraments in other denominations? (43:03)
