    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 06, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick explores the sharp contrast between media-fed perceptions and firsthand experiences, following a German traveler who discovers unexpected warmth in America and leaves changed. Listeners find Patrick weaving connections between personal stories—children earning $127 with lemonade, the pitfalls of an improperly formed conscience, moral dilemmas in voting, even the surprising commercialization of sacred spaces—while never shying from pressing into controversial or quietly meaningful territory.   Audio: German World Cup fan falls in love with the USA - https://x.com/mattvanswol/status/2073382535266976165/video/1?s=46 (01:59) Ramiro - Is it okay to listen to non-denominational content on the radio? (10:04) Thomas - Is there a physical connection to the world now to how it was before the fall? (15:27) Mark (email) - It seems that many of the followers of the SSPX believe that they are truly doing the right thing by remaining in the SSPX. So, they are following their conscience, as we are told in the Catholic Church that we must do. And, as I understand it, if a person is excommunicated, they are going to hell if they don't have the excommunication removed. Is this correct? (23:40) Juan - What are your thoughts on voting pro-choice versus pro-life issues? (33:25) Catalina (12-years-old) - There were tables with items being sold in Notre Dame, in Paris. I didn’t like it. (42:53) John - In Philadelphia this weekend all of the Fourth of July events got cancelled because of storms and heat, but not the procession (47:32)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 03, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick answers listener questions about everything from Catholic misunderstandings of the Eucharist to the validity of the Mass when accidental mistakes happen during readings, bringing scripture and tradition to bear on each topic. He addresses what happens to the souls lost in Noah’s flood, explains canon law distinctions on annulment, and walks through how Catholics understand prayer to saints like Mary alongside worship reserved for God alone. Some write in bewildered by family members clinging to ideas about a dome-encased earth, others seek reassurance about returning to church after decades away—Patrick responds with candor, biblical references, and a readiness for surprises.   Maryjane (email) - My boyfriend is Methodist. He likes the idea of Confession but said that he doesn’t believe “crucifying Christ every week at Mass” is something he could subscribe to. How would you have responded to this type of understanding of our celebration of the Eucharist? Mary (email) - Did I ruin Mass for everyone? Joan (email) – Does the church have any teaching in what happened to the souls of the people that died in the flood during Noah’s time? Marshall (email) - Adultery and Annulment: If Joseph was allowed to divorce Mary for supposed infidelity, why isn’t that allowed for an annulment? Julie (email) - Is Mass outdoors permitted by the Church? Hunter (email) - I was just recently baptized into the Lutheran church and was very happy. Until a few days ago I had the most horrible dream that included demons visiting/harming me and I woke up with scratches up and down my arm. I won't go into detail but I woke up with this feeling/voice in my heart and stomach that keeps pulling me to the Catholic Church but I still have my issues with some Catholic dogma or doctrine. Do you have any recommendations on what I should do next? Dee - What is the Bible actually saying about the firmament? My daughter thinks we are enclosed in an Earth dome with heaven above, and we can't get out. James - Why is Mary elevated to a position of equality alongside God the Father and Son and Holy Spirit?

    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 03, 2026 - Hour 3

    Patrick opens up the hour exploring forgiveness and the longing for redemption, responding to listeners wrestling with decades away from the sacraments and the heaviest sins. The conversation shifts between the specifics of confession, concrete church teachings on annulments and in vitro fertilization, and the subtleties distinguishing Catholic priestly societies, all while fielding heartfelt questions about facing moral conflict in ordinary life—like how to attend an IVF baby shower as a Catholic. The current of hope, reassurance, and practical spiritual advice surges beneath every honest exchange.   Patrick continues his conversation with James who, just before the break asked, “Is there any hope for me?” Cheryl - When I returned to the Church, there was an amazing priest who helped me. Michael (email) - You mentioned to James that Mary is the highest human creature. What about Jesus's human nature? Is His human nature a creation? Is it more accurate to call Mary the highest human “person”? Chris (email) - My first wife and I were married by a Unitarian minister.  We divorced after 8 years of marriage.  Neither of us were practicing Catholics.  I had no affiliation with the Catholic Church but was baptized in a Baptist church. I have since started OCIA classes to become Catholic.  The woman I’m dating is Catholic and is getting an annulment. Would I have to get an annulment as well?   Ellen (email) - Why does it bother you when people ask to remain anonymous? Judith (email) - Prior to a young man going through a bone marrow transplant that would leave him sterile, he stored some of his sperm for use with his future wife. After he recovered and married, he used his sperm with his wife’s eggs to create a beautiful embryo that became a wonderful faithful young man. This embryo was placed in the body of his biological mother.  Was this a sin?Carolyn - Can a diocesan priests celebrate mass facing the people versus religious order priests facing ad orientem? What’s the difference between SSPX and FSSP orders? Liana – A couple of close friends got pregnant using IVF. How should our relationship go forward? John - If after communion is distributed there are several hosts leftover, can they be used at another Mass? (Originally Aired on 06/09/2026)

    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)
