    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 26, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick answers real questions from listeners, blending Catholic teaching with down-to-earth advice on everything from why animals suffer to whether pets might greet us in heaven. In quick exchanges, he weaves themes of faith, loss, generosity, and the tug between raising children and affording Catholic education; sometimes, the show jumps from tears to laughter over Pop-Tarts or the bittersweet warmth of Dolly Parton's memory. He doesn’t shrink from complexity, moving between phone calls, theology, and the quirks of daily life with a rhythm that’s both unpredictable and deeply human.   John (Email) - What is the Catholic Church Doctrine or teaching about why must animals, or in this case our beloved pet, be made to suffer? And, will God allow our Pets into heaven? (00:55) Catherine - You mentioned NFP a few weeks ago. How can we be open to life while providing a Catholic education for our current children? (11:39) Patrick in NJ - I went to Confession and my sin was omission. The priest told me giving money to the poor is the same as giving them cigarettes and alcohol. (19:19) Lucy - I think God can use our pets to teach us faith and obedience. I think it is not that God allows animals to suffer, it is Him using animals to show us how to suffer and how to live. (25:39) Laurie - I would encourage women to see being open to life as an inspiration from God. I am a mother of 7, and I have yet to hear someone wish they didn't have the number of kids they had. I hear more people wish they had more. (29:09) Paulette - You were just talking about animals going to heaven. I thought your cat would be with you in heaven if you needed it to be. I heard this from a priest. (32:05) Patrick and Cyrus remanence about Dolly Parton (37:43) Raul - Is the Angel of The Lord Jesus or just interceding for people on earth? (47:34)

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

    Patrick opens the phones to pressing questions from listeners, ranging from the biblical foundation of venerating saints and the meaning of adoration for children, to the thorny issue of honoring public figures whose values clash with Catholic teaching. He fields heartfelt stories about family, faith, loss, and the afterlife, tossing in advice on breaking anxious thought patterns and offering clarity on the difference between Greek mythology and Christianity for curious kids.   Raul – Is venerating saints biblical? (00:30) Mary - I was reading a book on Dolly Parton. She was one of 13 who grew up extremely poor. Being very poor doesn't diminish the impact you could have on the world. (02:19) Johnny - I am listening to Cyrus glorify Dolly Parton. What are your thoughts on her promoting pride month and gay people? She led people to continue on in her sin. Does God love those in hell? (03:28) Christian (email) - All this talk about Lindsay Clancy has stirred up a question… (10:05) Ann - Is wearing a Rosary sinful? (13:42) Cindy - I lost my dog last year. I prayed that God would open the gates of heaven for my dog. I think God gave me a sign she was in heaven. My priest agrees. (20:48) Gloria - Our fantastic priest said he wants all catechism kids to sit in a half hour of Adoration every other Wednesday and also go to a Mass. How does he expect kids to sit for half an hour quietly. (23:58) Pablo (email) - In light of the release of the movie the Odyssey, how do I explain to my kids the difference between Ancient Greek religion (Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, etc.) and Christianity? (36:42) Sandy - I have negative thoughts that spin into a conversation in my head. How can I stop this? (42:23)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 26, 2026 - Hour 3

    Patrick answers questions about faith, from priests discerning their path outside ministry to the anxiety of waiting for annulments and the uncertain ground those situations create. He fields comparisons between canon law and Sharia, counters misconceptions, and addresses audience concerns on receiving sacraments while in irregular relationships. Voices of personal struggle and moral wrestling fill the hour, as Patrick threads theology and practical advice through every exchange.   James (email) - Is it prudent for a priest on leave awaiting Vatican dispensation to regularly spend public time with a woman he hopes to marry, even while insisting they will not pursue a romantic relationship until the dispensation is granted? (00:47) Don - Concerning annulment, why can't the person who is not in offense be freed from the marriage when being cheated on or walked out on? (13:01) Joyce - I know someone was married in the Church, divorced, and is now seeking an annulment. She got married a second time in a Baptist church before the annulment went through. (18:58) Mike - El Sayeed brought up circumcision as compared to transgender mutilation, and canon law versus surreal law. (29:21) Audio: Sharia law survivor speaks out –https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2086490550060909009?s=20 (36:43) Donna – What is the definition of sharia law? (39:04) Jonathan - What are your thoughts on all the divorce and remarriages happening in regard to Amoris Laetitia written by Pope Francis. (41:31) Robert - A Lutheran mom married a Catholic guy but in Lutheran Church with a minister. (47:41)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 25, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick looks closely at the Lindsay Clancy case with unsettling candor, confronting the tangled mix of mental illness, motherhood, cultural confusion, and the shadow of abortion’s legacy, then questions the tidal public response that seems to twist accountability and sympathy with every headline.   Bill - Thanks Patrick for helping me understand the faith better. Cyrus is rad. (00:49) Pamela (email) - I thought it very odd thing for you to agree with the male viewer who said he would break off his marriage engagement because his fiancé sides with Lindsey Clancy's defense. (08:03) Audio: Debunking lies women are believing about Lindsay Clancy. She was a labor and delivery nurse (15:35) Audio: Lindsay Clancy heard a voice that she never heard before, and she never experienced it since, but she only experienced it for the 18 minutes that it took to kill her children. -https://x.com/LisaNIRL/status/2091967564800819551/video/1?s=46 (20:23) Rose - Why would a mother delight in killing her kids? Why is it ok to tell women it is ok to kill kids? (38:33) Caroline (email) - Doctors everywhere are able to access a patient's medical information, including medications, simply by going to MyChart. So, I don't think a doctor could claim that he/she wasn't aware of the medications already prescribed to Lindsey Clancy (or anyone else).

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 25, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick focuses on the Lindsay Clancy tragedy, confronting the complexities of postpartum depression, mental illness, and society’s shifting views on life and responsibility. He connects headlines to deeper issues like abortion’s effect on culture, questioning how personal and spiritual forces interplay during crises, while also capturing raw calls for compassion—especially for overlooked fathers and for those grappling with the hard teachings of faith. The conversation moves fast, landing on everything from spiritual warfare to cultural confusion, refusing easy answers as Patrick threads listener voices and strong opinions into the current moment.   Carmen (email) - How could Lindsay Clancy act on intrusive thoughts and harm her children after five years of motherhood (with kids ages 5 and 8 months), when she had more than just postpartum depression—and no one noticed any warning signs? (00:56) Gwen (email) - Would the caller feel the same if the father had sent the mother on an errand and then strangled the three little children? Kathy - How can Americans can pretend to be shocked at Lindsey Clancy murders when we have proabortion politician? People elected and supported this. (04:01) Paul - Lindsey Clancy worked in obstetrics. Do you think she could have been involved in abortions, and she invited demonic forces in through that work? (06:58) Susan - I think the outrage from women comes from the fact that husband changes shoes. Fact that there was a search doesn’t show us anything. Also, husband married soon after.  (12:16) John (email) - I’ve often struggled with how to continue to try to evangelize (22:46) Sofia - People don't realize that demons can also take over a woman, and we are trying to medicate something that can’t be medicated. (24:09) Carla - The husband may have been complicit and known that she should not have been left with the kids alone. She was deliberately doc shopping, wanting other drugs (26:43) Richard - I'm a father of kids the same age. How about the father going through life knowing he will never hold his children again? Where is the compassion for him? (29:09)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 25, 2026 - Hour 3

    Patrick answers an array of listener questions, moving quickly from struggles with unwanted intrusive thoughts and the unique intersection of faith and mental health to the practicalities of breastfeeding at Mass, yoga in schools, and whether parents should name guardian angels. Topics like persistent prayer, liturgical definitions, and the accessibility of sought-after priests reveal how Catholic tradition intersects with messy, daily life. Humor bubbles up amid serious moments, as stories touch on everything from praying for safe pregnancies to confronting pride when doors close.   Tom - I get bad unwanted thoughts too. They are real, and I am on four different meds. They are either obsession from the evil one or mental. (00:41) Kathy - Should a woman leave the pew to breastfeed her child during Mass or is it okay for them to stay in the pew? (03:59) Devon - Teacher at my kid’s school said they are doing yoga. How can I talk to them to get them out of that class? (08:38) Myra - Breastfeeding is natural and covering up when feeding is not an issue (11:12) Neon - Are angels smarter than humans and why can't I name mine? (18:52) Lourdes - How can I define liturgy to family who left the church? (23:20) Emily - Does canon law prohibit me from seeking council from talking to a priest outside of my parish? Robert (email) – Charlie Kirk deserves the truth, not the quick narrative. (31:40) Alex – Are there any good prayers for pregnancy? (40:37) Emily - Does canon law prohibit me from seeking council from talking to a priest outside of my parish? (44:17)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 24, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick brings together stories of faith, family struggles, and the unexpected ways generosity echoes in Catholic life. He connects parish music, gratitude, and the tension between setting boundaries and holding fast to forgiveness, while pausing for a sharp look at Christians in the Holy Land faced with unsettling challenges. Between cultural quirks and personal growth, Patrick ties everything together with his signature encouragement and direct questions.   Jordan (email) - Instead of just complaining about the contemporary music at nearby parishes, should I learn piano (with the hope of eventually learning organ) so I can offer my services to the Church, and how difficult would that be? (01:26) Sylvia (email) - Is it a sin for me to block my sister (and similarly my brother) and stop speaking to them after her continued insults and lies about my husband and me made contact unbearable—even though I forgive them, love them, pray for them daily, and only reached out because the priest advised it? (03:49) Janet (email) - As relatively new adult Catholics, my husband and I have given priests gifts of money, food, care packages, or meals when they were sick at various parishes, yet we’ve almost never received a thank-you (only once from one priest)—is this lack of acknowledgment common, and does it seem rude given that priests act in persona Christi? Joshua - I need some advice on becoming the director of religious education at my parish? (18:27) Bruno (email) - Was it fair or appropriate for you to compare the SSPX to Calvinists in a way that implied they hold theological errors they’re unwilling to discuss, especially when the SSPX’s main criticism is that the Vatican itself is falling into such errors amid widespread ambiguity and corruption? (23:02) A Message from the Church in Taybeh: Taybeh’s Priest Fr. Bashar Fawadleh Warns: “We Intend to Remain” - https://vppnews.substack.com/p/a-message-from-the-church-in-taybeh?r=p2xyu&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web (29:48) Martine (email) – On not being thanked… (37:16) Jack - A director of religious education is a very important job. Need to have strong moral character, faith practice, and competence and leadership. (41:18) Richard - I have heard the claim Israeli settlers are taking over legitimate Palestinian claims. (46:43)

Moments of advice, surprise, and even a little old-school slang punctuate the episode, threading together practical faith questions and lively anecdotes.   Granger - Thoughts and advice on a Christian skateboard contest I was planning. (00:58) Karen (email) - When Jesus says in Matthew 17:12-13 that Elijah has already come (referring to John the Baptist), does this passage actually support reincarnation, or how should it be properly understood? (13:20) Audio: New data shows Catholicism is gaining momentum on college campuses across the U.S. - https://x.com/foxnews/status/2091139736970612862?s=43%22%3Ehttps://x.com/foxnews/status/2091139736970612862?s=43%3C/a (20:35) Mormons becoming Catholic - https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2026/08/22/becoming-catholic-utahns-share/ Adan (10-years-old) - Did the world have a beginning and will it continue infinitely or was it eternal?
