    The Patrick Madrid Show: October 02, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick opens today's episode by honestly addressing a listener's concerns about a past show, emphasizing his respect for women’s involvement in both church and civic life and clarifying misunderstandings about his views. He then thoughtfully answers questions that move from the meaning of faith and works in Christian life to the mysteries surrounding Judas Iscariot’s fate, providing scriptural and historical context while guiding listeners seeking spiritual renewal or deeper understanding.   Melanie (email) - After hearing you go along with Sherry’s claim that the problem began when women got the right to vote, I’m reconsidering listening to your show and donating to Relevant Radio, because if I’m not worthy to vote, I’m left wondering whether I’m worthy to pray, attend Mass, or even vote on church remodeling. (00:49) Raphael (16-years-old) - James 2 v 14 talks about faith and works. I am Catholic and go to a Christian school. How do I describe my position? (10:20) What’s Wrong With Bowing to the Priest at Mass? https://patrickmadrid.substack.com/p/whats-wrong-with-bowing-to-the-priest (22:04) Matt - I am not Catholic but raised Russian Orthodox. I have always wondered about Mark 5:30 where Jesus heals the woman afflicted by bleeding. Did Jesus have an innate reserve of power he controlled? How did this work? (25:23) Marshall (email) - Why doesn’t the Catholic Church allow divorce on the grounds of adultery, as Matthew 5:32 seems to permit, when in my wife’s annulment the only available grounds was alcoholism even though her former husband had been unfaithful? Did Judas go to hell?

    Patrick welcomes listeners with warmth and wit as he discusses the rapid advances in technology, especially Elon Musk’s new vision-implant promises and their potential impacts, both inspiring and unsettling. Conversations with callers explore not only the ethical boundaries of merging technology and biology but also the bigger questions of envy, faith, and personal integrity in a world eager for easy answers.

(17:21) Mike - Elon Musk also came out against elements of transgender ideology. That’s why I think everyone turned against him. (22:03) Audio: Harvard students show Meta glasses can DOX ANYONE in seconds raising MASSIVE privacy and security concerns - https://x.com/ExxAlerts/status/1964372904797478995 (30:34) Terry - If special operators in military received implants, who would own them?

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

    Patrick opens the conversation with listeners sharing heartfelt concerns about reverence, modesty, and the presence of women on the altar at Mass, sparking thoughtful exchanges on tradition, parish culture, and the unique value of male and female roles in the Church. Callers offer passionate perspectives, personal experiences, and scriptural references while Patrick respectfully balances opinions about dress codes, the evolution of parish practices, and the broader impact on faith communities. Through lively dialogue, the episode highlights the deep longing for meaning, respect, and spiritual renewal in worship, especially for those yearning to reconnect with their Catholic identity.   Sherry - In my parish, dress is very casual and I feel very uncomfortable. We pray for increase in vocations, yet things seem kind of sloppy or reverent. Shouldn't get females off the altar? (02:22) Sam – Some people don’t have money to dress nice   Mary – There should be a dress code (20:02) DeAnna - This topic is a thorn in my side. I had to turn off the program. I am not well off or poor. I think woman calling in with this topic has money for cell phones. I doubt Mother Teresa would be wearing pearls. This is what turns people away (23:53) Kathy - Women have no place on the altar. What do you think about lectors? I think she might be stereotyping this. I think overall everyone needs to be respectful too. (33:14) Jose - All Eucharistic Ministers at my Church have to wear an alb. They all dress in an alb. That could be a solution to add more reverence. (39:25) Andy - I think the nature of men and women and the way God created us. There are a lot of men and women compromised by the feminist movement. Men and women are not equal but complimentary. (42:46)
