    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)

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

    Patrick answers layered questions about Catholic tradition, everyday practices, and personal belief, moving from the biblical roots of the priesthood to thorny family matters around baptism, with listeners wrestling aloud over Mariology, church authority, and conversion doubts. He encourages persistent prayer, leans into Church history for answers, and points callers toward resources and guidance, even as the stories swirl with emotion, challenge, and the search for truth. A sense of immediacy infuses every exchange as Patrick stands with listeners at the intersection of doctrine and lived faith.   Sandy – None of our grandchildren or children are practicing their faith. What is my role in helping the grandkids? (03:46) Debbie – I was born Jewish and started OCIA a while back. I’m not baptized because of questions I still have. Did Christ fulfill all the old prophecies? If not, were there any alterations from the prophecies? (09:11) Christine - My sister has a problem praying to Mary. She is wondering how can Mary hear and respond to all the people praying to her? (21:51) Matt - What is required by the Church for fasting? Should we do it every Friday outside of Lent, and also abstain from meat? (31:53) John Paul – Where in the bible does it say we should fast on Fridays? (40:08)

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

    Patrick brings listeners into a lively exchange of questions, challenges, and encouragement, blending practical advice and direct responses to common misconceptions about Catholic teaching. He tackles themes ranging from Mass attendance dilemmas and the nature of faith and justification, to distinctions between doctrine and discipline, all while using real-life examples and biblical references.   Jackie - The previous caller was very rude and disrespectful to Patrick. (00:45) Nohl - Christ called for his disciples to fast. (02:51) Andrew - I was reading Council of Trent on justification. I’m confused by faith as a preparation for justification and baptism as act of justification. (07:25) Walter - Taco Tuesday Jo (email) - You were discussing DNA and recommended a book. Now I can't remember the name of the book, nor can I find the conversation in the archives. Please let me know the name of the book you recommended (15:19) Keaton (email) - I have a friend who is Roman Catholic and he said back at the start of 2025 his goal was to get to church more, and in 2026 he has been getting to weekly mass as much as he can. I am very proud of him for doing so, however I asked if he was going on Saturday or Sunday, he said it's almost impossible for him to make it. (21:32) Karen (email) - There are so many prayers, so many devotions, novenas, Liturgy of Hours, consecrations, lectio divina, contemplative prayer, and so forth--so many people telling us that "this" is the thing to do, the one to pray, etc. How can any one person fit them all in without feeling overwhelmed? (25:23) Karen - I don't understand why people who talk about sola scripture when Jesus was teaching and preaching orally. The New Testament was not written when He was alive. (30:51) Gail - A priest said if you can't make it on Sunday, you can pick a weekday as obligation (43:16) Julie - How do Protestants justify sola scriptura if they don't live by it. In the New Testament, how do we know what to obey or explicitly follow? (47:11)

    Patrick examines how pop music lyrics have grown harsher and more immoral over sixty years, comparing personal and generational reactions to these shifts and revealing how oldies persist, sometimes reappearing as supermarket background music. He reflects on study findings, listens to stories about family musical preferences, and fields questions on faith, church rituals, and traditions under social pressure. While trends in music and morality collide, Patrick weaves in listeners’ concerns about everything from tattoos and Christian identity to the fight for principles within organizations.   Pop Songs Have Grown More Immoral, Meaner Over Past 60 Years (00:56) Email – I just want a small wedding with no frills. Can we get married at a regular weekday Mass? Michael (email) – I bonded with my wife over music (20:16) Lisa - My dad was part of the Armenian Apostolic church. We always thought it was in communion in Rome, but it’s not. How do we assure his salvation? (21:36) June - As a eucharistic minister, I brought a host home in the pix years ago. Have I been committing sacrilegious communions since then? (27:37) Al - What version of the Catholic Bible would be a good start to read as a returning Catholic?

He responds to messages about celebrating big family news, grapples with immigration’s legal and compassionate sides, and offers book recommendations to young Catholics interested in learning about their faith. Everyday tools like ChatGPT, the meaning behind apology and forgiveness, and personal encouragement thread through the conversation as Patrick moves from the serious to the lighthearted, always circling back to faith’s presence through ordinary moments.   David (email) – I’m pro-life and will be switching to Charity Mobile (00:42) Tia – Pregnancy Announcement (05:48) Jamille (email) - I am looking for an apologetics book for my 15-year-old daughter who would like to learn more about why we believe what we do as Catholics.

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

    Patrick examines the reality behind issues such as data center water consumption and contrasting it with agriculture and household use while confronting assumptions that distort perspective. He responds to painful calls about returning to the Church after time in schismatic sects, weighs confessional validity, encourages fidelity when marriage is shadowed by illness, and fields thoughts about liturgy reform, organ donation, cremation, and where deacons begin in scripture and practice. Questions come rapid-fire: some about faith in public, others about choosing where to use your gifts, all woven with personal struggle and encouragement that sidestep routine answers.   Patrick put the “Data Center Water Usage” into perspective (00:59) Kathleen - I have severed myself from Radical Traditional groups and want to reconnect with the Catholic.

    Patrick welcomes listeners into a whirlwind conversation about artificial intelligence, sparking reactions to Elon Musk’s bold predictions and candidly questioning the consequences for human purpose, work, and relationships. Unexpected calls reference pop culture, raise concerns about machines rewriting history, and wonder aloud what happens if robots take over everyday chores. As the dialogue accelerates, Patrick probes whether people will embrace robots or fiercely protect the messy beauty of real life.   Audio: Elon at Davos, Within a year AI will be smarter than any human being - https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/2014424307900850512?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (00:19) Audio: Elon, “In the future, the robots will make so many robots, that they will actually saturate all human needs -  https://x.com/cb_doge/status/2014400490424173041?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (05:19) Audio: Elon, "You don’t actually need school to learn anymore – https://x.com/ianmiles/status/2014322727205679426?s=20 (11:28) Reba - What is to stop AI taking over all of humanity?

    The Patrick Madrid Show: June 26, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick brings the smartphone struggle front and center, questioning why tech and social media seem to influence children more than their own families. Parents call in with raw confessions, regrets, and inventive solutions, from holding out on smartphones to battling the sneaky ways kids get around controls, while stories of bikes, banana seats, and even Maseratis bring humor and a touch of nostalgia to the mix.
