    The Patrick Madrid Show: June 19, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick welcomes listeners into candid conversations that jump from parish life and apologetics to raw, personal struggles with faith, sexuality, and Catholic teaching. He fields everything—children’s questions about darkness and light, the meaning behind the show’s theme song, honest doubts about cremation, and the pain of feeling alienated from the Church—offering compassion without dodging tough truths.   Sheryl (email) - There is nothing worth endangering our water supplies and power to the average working American, which is what these data centers will do! Some people are destroying our beautiful and fertile farmland and lessening the food supply to line their pockets. (01:30) Mike - I am part of a weekly Protestant Bible Study and some of my family has been telling me I shouldn’t go because I am Catholic. What do you think? (02:11) Charlie - What do you think of people who have fallen away from Church because of negative experiences from other Catholics because of sexuality and other topics? (08:25) Larry – Can you describe the meaning behind your theme song, Move by Saint Motel? (25:24) Tom (email) – Data centers will bring jobs Doug – Lately, I noticed that the big issue people get hung up on is Catholics' treatment of gays. I keep hearing conversion therapy as a treatment. Does the Church do this? (32:10) Xavier (9-years-old) - Did God make darkness? (40:35) Mary - Our Church put up a Columbarium. When did Church teaching change on this? (46:21) (Originally Aired on 05/18/2026)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: June 19, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick opens with a story about art critics mistaking Monet for AI slop, sparking questions about authenticity in a tech-soaked world. He follows twisted threads connecting digital surveillance in China to new digital IDs in the UK, then tosses in stories of hysterical climate predictions, AI anxieties, and the social decay linked to endless scrolling. Children and families become the focus as Patrick unpacks warnings from experts, connecting smartphones, plummeting fertility, and a relentless tide of content that threatens innocence.   What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The comments are amazing. - https://x.com/SHL0MS/status/2054280631807316329 (00:42) Audio: 2016.

    The Patrick Madrid Show: June 19, 2026 - Hour 3

    Patrick opens with a caller’s honest struggle about sustaining faith and character in environments that never quite align with Catholic convictions, offering advice that blends scriptural grit with lived wisdom. Conversations about the unchecked spread of AI and massive data centers quickly turn uneasy, sparking debate over their promises and the unseen costs shaping towns and families while ordinary life persists.   Josh - Is it a problem that I don't talk about my faith? (00:46) Anne - We have 5 children involved in cybersecurity and AI. Pope Leo wrote about bringing Catholic teaching to industries. I am also concerned about data centers taking up land space. We were offered money for land. (15:01) Maria - Data Centers take a lot of energy and I believe they raise electricity and they take up a lot of water. I think they could cause a drought. (24:42) Joe - Why would Protestants care about the rapture? Why was the father of John the Baptist punished? (31:06) Billy (email) – Is it wrong to take a photo of the Roses at the Basilica while going up for Communion? (39:42) Jan (email) - Our parish has a priest who doesn't elevate the host and the cup, he doesn't distribute Communion, he doesn't genuflect when he walks by the tabernacle, he doesn't greet his parishioners after Mass, and worst of all, he doesn't like to hear Confessions so he very often refuses to do so. Phil - Data Centers are on a closed-circuit system. It doesn't cause water pollution. (48:52) (Originally Aired on 05/18/2026)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: June 18, 2026 - Hour 1

    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 a vigorous 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)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: June 18, 2026 - Hour 2

    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)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: June 18, 2026 - Hour 3

    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

    The Patrick Madrid Show: June 17, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick opens the hour sorting through the difference between Eastern Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches (01:16), then fields bold questions about faith, relationships, and real-world messiness, such as the impact of living together outside marriage on salvation (05:31). He weaves listener stories of struggle and hope with advice about ordering life around God (16:08), discusses altar servers and gender at Mass (21:14), and gives direct responses to practical concerns like praying personalized rosaries (47:23). One moment quiets into reflection, the next springs into debate; Patrick keeps the energy high and the conversation rooted in Catholic teaching.   Millicent (email) - Western Orthodox churches are not in communion with Rome, right? I know Eastern Catholic churches are under the Pope’s reign, but we aren't allowed to attend Western Orthodox, or are we? (01:10) Wesley - My future wife and I are both Catholic and we about to have our second son tomorrow. Hoping to baptize him soon. If I die, before I got married, what would my salvation state be? (04:21) Billy (email) - My wife and I fulfilled our Sunday obligation at a beautiful cathedral in London this past Sunday. Aside from the Priest and the Deacon, every other server in the Mass was female (eight altar girls, all women readers and all women ushers). (21:17) Todd - Similar to Wesley, I fell into living with a girl three different times. I knew it was wrong.  (29:34) John - If you die with mortal sin, do you have the option to go to Purgatory or is that option not there? (38:43) Roger – Wesley’s story is similar to mine. I was making excuses and realized I wasn’t living a saintly life. God justifies us, not us. (41:25) Sharie – When I pray the Rosary, is it okay instead of meditating on the mysteries to pray for individual people instead? (47:17)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: June 17, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick explores personal transformation and faith through stories of unexpected conversion and mutual mentoring, where guidance flows both ways, not just from mentor to mentee. The episode lingers on heartfelt questions of vocation, wrestling with desire for marriage alongside the calling to broader service, while also weaving in moral choices, the value of mercy, and even a few notes of classic rock nostalgia. Some moments challenge, others soothe, yet all reveal the complexity and beauty of seeking purpose with sincerity.   Tom - My wife and I were mentoring a couple going through the same scenario as Wesley (the young man from the first hour). (01:29) Randall (email) - Abolitionist > Prolife: We Abolitionist support equal rights and no legal abortion (women shouldn't have a free pass on murder) (14:45) Lia - What did your comment, “You are either here to serve or be married” mean or imply? (21:40) Bill (email) – Please discuss the notion of Jesus accepted Veronica’s help and that if the Catholic Church approves something then it must be appropriate. (38:06) Kaylie - We sign things all the time. Is it a sin to go against something in a contract that was so long we couldn't thoroughly read it? (43:49)
