    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 05, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick steers the conversation through messy election choices, wrestling with strategy and conscience as he weighs public duty against Catholic principles. Authenticity and skepticism battle it out in his thoughts about miracles, private revelations, and the swirl of holy objects, while the modern unease over artificial intelligence prompts him to separate science fiction worries from spiritual reality. In confession, honesty reigns as Patrick presses for spiritual clarity, threading everything together with a call to live faithfully, alert to everyday responsibilities instead of getting lost in apocalyptic rumors.   Email – Is voting for a less "offensive" pro-abortion candidate in a primary election okay according to Church teaching? (01:36) Monica (email) - I was recently given a small sample of the Holy Dirt form the El Santuario de Chimayó (09:31) Heidi - I feel it is very important to vote for the least evil candidate to prevent communism from stepping over our doorstep. Too dangerous to sit out (17:18) Cindy (email) - As AI is advancing so rapidly and recently even proven by the breach out of the sandbox and jump into the internet on its own, it is hard not to see the Hal of Space Odyssey 2001. I fear for that we are on the verge of a catastrophe for humanity. Let us suppose that the genie is already out of the box and not in our control. My question is not if but when computers and robots become "sentient" will they have a soul? (19:31) Vinnie - Is it a problem when you have trouble believing that Adam and Eve lived to be 900 years old? (31:32) Anthony - Is it appropriate to repeat myself over and over again of things that happened in the past when in confession. (34:52) Richard - What do you think about the three days of darkness? (47:11)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 05, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick explores honesty, faithfulness, and spiritual courage, offering practical advice on confession for those dealing with memory lapses or mental health struggles. He addresses listener questions about the risks of obsession with exorcisms, the boundaries of Catholic participation in weddings outside formal Church structure, the complex issue of the Society of St. Pius X, and even the nuanced meaning of having a guardian angel. Personal stories and Catholic wisdom swirl together, creating unexpected reflections on forgiveness, truth-telling, and the daily walk of faith.   Email – I forget if I’ve confessed my sins and am unsure if I should confess them again or for the first time? (01:21) Parker (email) - My brother has been absorbed by spiritual warfare (07:21) Peter (email) - Angelology Question Yurry (email) - Issue with going to mass, lying to my mom, and keeping my faith (23:14) Shari – Why is SSPX excommunicated? (29:20) Patty (email) – My brother died from the Covid vaccine. (40:27) Gail – Can I attend this non-Catholic outdoor wedding?  Also, is it okay to name your kid Saint? (45:59)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 05, 2026 - Hour 3

    Patrick steers listeners through faith’s demands and the friction between personal ethics and Church teaching. He moves seamlessly from tangled sacramental questions to raw family conflicts over marriage rituals, the ache of humility under heavy crosses, and the often unseen responsibilities woven into parish and public life.   Audio: Fauci on why he no longer practices his Catholic faith -https://x.com/BrokenTruthTV/status/2084386163553443867/video/1?s=46 (02:02) Audio: Ex-YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki admits to deleting over 1 million COVID videos to silence anti vaxxers - https://x.com/ValerieAnne1970/status/2082828565364506914/video/1?s=46 (05:51)  JTrina – Is it a sin to have sex for pleasure? (10:31) Joseph – What does 'ontologically Catholic' mean? (14:42) Joe - If all baptized Christians are baptized ontologically into Catholic faith, are they bound to Catholic absolution? (21:59) Angela - I have a sister raised Catholic, son living and having kids out of wedlock. They got married and my sister performed it. Did I sin by attending the wedding? (25:28) Nancy (email) – I trust that God knows my hearts confession even if I forget to say it out loud (36:54) Denise (email) - My life has become extremely difficult and sad and I’m wondering what I’ve done wrong.  And humility comes to my mind. Is it I have done wrong?  Camille (email) - Is there anything Catholic in The Smithsonian? Sherrie – During the consecration today, the priest said 'which will poured out for you and for all'. Did that invalidate the mass? (43:19)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 04, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick brings together sharp listener questions, spiritual reflection, while threading through Catholic funeral practices, the meaning behind Christian burial, and the challenge of covering funeral costs. He challenges common assumptions about Natural Family Planning, illustrating legitimate circumstances with compelling real-life scenarios, and then moves to the unique training and authority required for exorcists, cautioning against lay attempts at spiritual combat.   Wayne (email) - I respect the Church and her rules, but don't you think that "not having a visitation in the church before the funeral Mass" is a bit much? Families can save so much money by having a visitation at the parish instead of the funeral home. Funerals can be expensive. If these are the new rules, then no one in our family will be able to have a visitation. (00:53) Bill - I am a funeral director in Texas, and here many churches are open to having visitation the night before. The day of the funeral is reserved for the Mass itself. (09:13) Greg - What are the differences in the ordinations between bishops, priests and deacons? (13:15) Leah (email) - Is waiting to have children while married a sin? (22:33) Anna - Do all priests have exposure to and know about performing exorcisms? (41:31)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 04, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick explores faith colliding with pandemic upheaval: grappling with church closures, uneasy trust in authority, fiercely personal choices, and the aftershocks that still tug at souls. Heartfelt stories and sharp opinions ricochet, touching everything from papal flags to the sting of lost jobs and fractured communities. In a swirl of questions and memories, Patrick searches for meaning and steady ground.   George (email) - Can anyone fly the Vatican City flag? (00:47) David - How did you think the Catholic Church handled COVID? (03:35) This is extremely dangerous to our democracy/Brought to you by Pfizer Gil - In LA, there is flagpole height regulation, with US top, then CA flag, then any flag underneath. (17:46) Maria - I'm confused how to not be selfish when needing to protect my own soul but also thinking of other people? (20:49) Freddie - When I was in high school, freshman year, I got typhoid. Lived through it only because my mom promised to visit Our Lady of Guadalupe to visit if I was healed. (26:10) Eden (email) - As I listen to the sound bites and montages and discussions you have looking negatively at all the precautions and burdens, we undertook during COVID and that they were lies, all I can think is this - I wouldn’t have done anything differently. (30:58) Audio: Fauci Montage – 6 feet thing came out of nowhere - https://x.com/jjverdi/status/2083379768016109615/video/1?s=46 (34:35) John - What is your personal take as a country that obsesses over preserving our own lives and gratification and also a country glorifying death media? (40:39) Paula - During covid, my brother left Church because they were shut down but still asking for money. I kept my faith and fought against taking the injection. (46:54)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 04, 2026 - Hour 3

    Patrick explores the anxiety many Catholics experience around spiritual warfare, exorcisms, and end-of-life sacraments, cautioning listeners about confusing lay practices with priestly authority while fielding passionate calls about generational curses, the meaning of altars in Scripture, and even the etiquette of pandemic mask-wearing in church. Unexpected moments—like encountering self-appointed exorcists or debating how water is added to chalices—spark spirited debate, all woven together by Patrick’s insistence on grounding faith in Jesus, the teachings of the apostles, and the Church’s guidance.   Rita - My husband got an apostolic pardon before passing last year. This is something everyone should be aware of before a loved one passes. (00:34) Nick - Please differentiate between Extreme Unction, Anointing of Sick, and Last Rites. (08:46) Peter - A guy came to Mass and talked to kids mainly about laity performing exorcisms and tried to show us how he does it. Should we avoid him? (12:15) Ray - When Jesus was talking about the altar, which altar is he talking about? (21:13) Audio: Bill Gates people had “no choice” avoiding the COVID shot, claiming the unvaxxed would “endanger their grandparents” & the vaxxed were 100% protected. - https://x.com/DeIntelpatriot/status/2083599579384074469 (25:06) Catherine - I have spiritual warfare book of prayers that breaks curses. Is this okay to do at home for yourself? (28:38) Elizabeth (email) - Thank you for the many times you talk about us not delving into trying to know more about demons, binding prayers, exorcism, etc. than what we really need to. I was raised in a home where the adults were obsessed with these topics. It contributed to depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and obsession for all of us children (affecting me as young as age 3). (37:22) Matthew - I respect that lay people need to stay away from spiritual warfare and interfering in matters, but shouldn't we talk about abortion more? (38:24) Joseph - I disagree that lay people should not be away from deliverance. What about the powers that the Holy Spirit can work through people? (42:13) Sharon - When setting up for the Eucharist, water drops were poured into the one cup the priest will drink but not all the wine cups. Why is that? (45:06) Mark - I am okay masks and they might be a good thing when you are sick to not to spread it. Should not be enforced by law though. (48:52)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 03, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick answers questions on guardian angels, prayers for those who left the faith, and whether grace can reach those closed off from it. He responds to lively debates on church customs, biblical mysteries like Lazarus’s age, and the classic rivalry between Tolkien’s epic and C.S. Lewis’s Narnia, letting callers’ passions shape the flow. Music talk, real-life marriage milestones, and concerns for pro-life centers in California thread through spirited exchanges that move from deep Catholic doctrine to the simple joy of a catchy tune.   Sheila (email) - Can I ask the guardian angels of my grown children (who have left the faith) to attend Mass and pray for them, and if so, what grace would result and could it still reach and affect them even if they are not open to it? (00:40) Daniel – Genuflecting (08:14) Deidra - There are two types of repenting: repenting every day and repenting and be baptized. We need both. (10:35) John - Do we know how old Lazarus was when Jesus raised him from the dead? (12:46) Doug – On Friday, the Archbishop of San Francisco wrote a piece about suing the abortion reversal pill (13:58) Nathaniel - What is better, LOTR or the Chronicles of Narnia? (20:57) Richard - I read the LOTR books and saw the movies. The movie was a bit of a letdown but I still loved them. The Narnia books fantastic. Andy - I want to know what is penal substitution and is it something Catholics believe? (34:13) Dave - For Nathaniel, Narnia Christian themes much more obvious but LOTR themes are deeper, more complex. I think both are excellent. (39:12) Ronnie - I want to encourage other married people not to give up on their spouse and try to make it better. Divorce is not the answer. (49:15)

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

    Patrick answers questions about the meaning of Jesus’s sacrifice, engaging Catholic and Reformed perspectives, and draws from St. Thomas Aquinas to consider alternatives and God’s sovereignty. He moves to the Rosary’s origins, connecting its biblical roots to powerful personal prayer, and then shifts to everyday struggles: guiding a son through spiritual tension in a split family, balancing empathy with the challenge of truth. The episode swerves from cultural debates about Aztec dancers in church to quick detours into baby name trends and one listener’s vivid story of discovering Catholicism through Scripture.   Michael (email) - Could we say that Jesus's sacrifice was the means that the Trinity decided was most fitting to dispense grace & salvation? If some other means were chosen by God, would that means have required the Incarnation be involved in order to bridge the gap between finite man's infinite sin against God? (00:36) Al - What is the origin of the Rosary and the importance of praying it? (05:48) Andrea (email) - I’m laughing this morning as Patrick is intentionally expressing your confusion with all the inner workings of Lord of the Rings Armondo (email) - Please comment on the Aztec dancers at the Los Angeles Archdiocese’s Cathedral. (20:48) Ryan - My 15-year-old son did not get communion two weeks in a row, and he is trying to give up on the faith and does not want to go to confession. (30:04) Debbie – I’m in OCIA, and had a couple of epiphanies this past week from the reading on Sunday Romans 8:38-39, and that Mary is the mother of the Church (40:34) Bertha - Have you heard the Spanish song about abortion where the baby is asking the mother not to abort it? (49:32)
