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

    Patrick threads together questions of Catholic identity, deep family ties, and unexpected moments from the news, moving from the evolution of the Baltimore Catechism to the nuance of Orthodox-Catholic liturgical participation and the tension of honoring parents amid religious shifts. In one breath, he sorts out canon law’s changes, in another, he walks with a teenager inching toward faith and wrestles with listeners' real-life struggles about justice and generosity in marriage. Fast-moving, raw, sometimes blunt, Patrick probes both doctrine and doubt within Church debates and cultural flashpoints, all while keeping an eye on the messier side of truth.   Fr. Gustavo López (email) - According to Article 47 of the 1970 Directory for the Application of Principles and Norms on Ecumenism, a Catholic for certain reasons could attend an Orthodox Sunday liturgy and it would fulfill his or her Sunday Obligation. That article was deleted when the Directory was revised in 1993; therefore, attending an Orthodox liturgy no longer fulfills a Catholic's Sunday obligation. (01:27) Matthew - Should the Baltimore Catechism have gone beyond the 60s and 70s? (06:24) Brady (email) – I’m 14 and want to get back into Church, but I don’t want to face criticism from my family Email - Are there passages from Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, or other Church documents that explain a husband's duties regarding family wealth, stewardship, and caring for his wife in a valid second marriage? (20:28) Audio: Fauci 2022: “I am very happy to testify before any congressional oversight committee. I have nothing to hide. I can explain and validate everything that I’ve done. - 30 - https://x.com/nataliegwinters/status/2082550593143611878 (35:14) Audio: Rand Paul -- “There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today.” – 1min - https://x.com/overton_news/status/2082457710038036812?s=20 (36:07) Jim - Things were moving fast during COVID, and Fauci was doing the best that he could with what limited information he had. (37:20) Audio: JFK JR on Fauci having a Pulmonary Infarction after being vaccinated - https://x.com/overton_news/status/2082645786148446500/video/1?s=46 (44:58)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 30, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick examines how the public’s trust unraveled during the COVID-19 pandemic, threading together raw stories of hospital reporting, misclassified deaths, frustrated teachers, and families caught off guard by shifting mandates. Honest voices hint at personal scars, especially in students’ behavior and anxiety, as Patrick questions how justice, forgiveness, and accountability might coexist when truth feels so scarce. Bureaucratic responses, ethical concerns, and the collision of hope with disappointment set the tone as he stirs reflection on what should change before the world faces another upheaval.   Joline - I went in for pneumonia and when I was discharged my paper said COVID. (00:59) Audio: History should remember how the unvaccinated were treated by these people – 2:15 - https://x.com/KellyLMcCarty/status/2082422837948662092 (09:14) Audio: Fauci "you're attacking science and the truth" when you attack Anthony Fauci – 20sec - https://x.com/mazemoore/status/2082475031100006446?s=20 Theresa - My husband died in 2020 and they put COVID on his death certificate, but he died from kidney failure. (12:24) Joe - I just want to chime in on the Covid death stats. I was working as state trooper during 2020. Autopsy said they had COVID yet clearly died in crash. Still listed as a COVID death. (14:39) Kate - My husband fell a few years ago and had to go to hospital. His lungs were clear but they put him as having COVID. (24:13) Sharon - I am an ICU nurse. I want to add that, yes, the doctors did write down COVID on death certificates. It is because hospitals like mine needed the money. (27:43) Nick - How can we let go about all the COVID stuff and forgive Fauci? I want to move on and forgive him. (33:28) Audio: US Government and Health Officials Lie about Covid Vaccine Preventing Transmission - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56nhx3UGm-4 (40:57) Liz - I'm a nurse, worked during the pandemic. Covid really broke the healthcare system and how we look at things. (44:22)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 30, 2026 - Hour 3

    Patrick opens up the lines to COVID stories and raw memories, letting listeners share what the pandemic really cost or changed for them, with grief, disagreement, resilience, moments of unexpected grace, doubt, and faith all tangled together. This hour puts the spotlight on the struggles with mandates, medical ethics, and trust, touching on everything from family loss and confused protocols to the support of priests and the rediscovery of faith after years away. Tension fills the air alongside gratitude as Patrick keeps the conversation honest, moving from questions about authority to stories of surviving, searching, and starting again.   James - I am a registered nurse from San Antonio, TX. I remember being called in for hospice service. A gentleman who was dying did test positive for COVID, died 4 days later, but he was already dying of kidney failure. I feel like this was a gray area. (01:07) Mary - I'm and ER nurse. I saw all the horror of COVID. (04:52) Nancy - A year ago, I discovered Relevant Radio. You helped me come home to the Catholic Church. (09:18) Liz - I was vaccinated and got COVID four times. The last time it affected my lungs. (17:24) Tim - I work from home exclusively. My job was threatened if I didn't take the COVID vaccine even though my job was remote. (21:10) Audio: Trust the science montage - https://x.com/adamcarolla/status/2082812509443240071/video/1 (25:37) Joanne - The corruption during covid was terrible. (30:37) Melissa – My husband was a government worker, and he was sent home for two months before quitting because he refused to get vaccinated (33:56) Patrick shares some of the many emails that have come in today in response to Fauci, COVID and the overwhelming bullying to push the vaccine (38:07) Elizabeth - I'm a Canadian citizen living in USA. Fauci had caused a lot of terrible things, affected my own family. Brother arrested because he was not vaccinated. (46:03)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 29, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick opens with excitement over advancements in cancer treatment, describing how MRI-guided cryoablation freezes tumors with stunning precision and brings hope. He moves from medical discovery to lively conversations about the "Keep Going" album, weaving in questions about Church teaching on scripture, debates over Peter as the rock, the procession of the Holy Spirit, and differences between Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. Answers come alongside practical exchanges on confession, cremation, judgments about the afterlife, and the tangled history behind church practices, all threaded together with warmth, humor, and challenge.   Good News: A revolution is happening in cancer treatment: https://x.com/2stefanmoore/status/2081764352039047469?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (00:41) Jonathan - I contest that the Gospel of St. Thomas was inspired? (06:45) Rich - 1 Corinthians 10:4. How is Christ the Rock here and not Peter? (08:35) Kurt - Can you tell me more about the Schism of 1054?

    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 29, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick plunges into the fallout from COVID-19, dissecting shifting narratives around public health, mixed messages from authorities, and the emotional toll on listeners facing mandates, coercion, and suspicion of pharmaceutical campaigns. He moves quickly to challenge misconceptions about the Catholic Church’s history with vernacular Bible translations, offers plain answers on moral issues borrowed from movies, and fields rapid-fire questions on everything from sacramental marriage for converts to the best study Bibles for Catholics. Spirited calls and tough questions swirl together as Patrick weighs faith, fear, and the search for truth, all without missing a beat.   Audio: Fauci talks to a man on his doorstep: “I’m not taking a shot that was made in 9 months” – 2min - https://x.com/IngrahamAngle/status/2082310100698431570/video/1?s=46 (04:35) Audio: Fauci montage (Masks, Herd Immunity, Schools, Lockdowns, Lab, and Gain of Function) – 5 min - https://x.com/AckerenBrenda/status/2052823529142227259/video/1?s=46 (07:40) Ernesto - (email) – When did the church stop burning people for reading the bible?

Anna (email) - I have some friends who are familiar with the group, Catholic Utah, my understanding is that they no longer exist. Elizabeth – The Lutheran Church doesn’t consider homosexuality a sin.

(44:02) Joe - If a Catholic disagrees with the Immaculate Conception or Papal Authority, at what point do they go to hell? (46:45)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 29, 2026 - Hour 3

    Patrick explores everything from the Catholic Church’s current stance on communion and cremation to heated reflections on pandemic leadership and the struggle to forgive in the aftermath. Listeners react to recent congressional drama, share personal frustrations, and even bring levity with talk of music, tacos, and intergenerational taste wars. Questions linger about truth, loss, and what it means to keep faith when neither culture nor authority offers easy answers.   Jason - Can Catholics receive the Eucharist at an Orthodox Mass? (01:03) Robert - I appreciate you shining the spotlight on the pandemic and Fauci’s lies. I listened to you as an alternate source of info. (09:45) Al (email) – Thank you for playing the Fauci montage Joe - We have a talented music director at our church. They're in an open homosexual relationship. They receive communion each week. If I'm in mortal sin, I don't receive communion, but this person is doing it every weekend. What's your opinion in this situation? (17:59) Jane - Does the church participate or advise the use of shunning various church members? Also, when and where did the church decide cremation was ok? (21:56) Pete – Heresy, to choose (definition); People who choose what they want to believe aren't going to be in communion with the church. (24:41) Thomas – Why did it take 1600 years to put the bible together with 40-some-odd authors. Why did it take so long to put it together if it was dictated by God? (27:37) Karen - My 16-year-old will not look at the new album or discuss it. Says it's all AI. Mary - On cremation and burial: A good argument against it would be what would happen if we cremated the now incorruptible Saints? (41:04) Mike - Comment about Covid situation and Dr. Fauci and the difference about the approach different states had: Florida vs Illinois or New York vs California. Common sense approach to the virus itself. (42:15)
