    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 06, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick opens with a burst of parenting chaos, sharing stories that blend laughter and exasperation, then shifts to updates from listeners across continents and celebrations of religious milestones, weaving Catholic and Orthodox perspectives with candid reflection. Wrestling with tough questions on saintly intercession, technology’s oddities, and dubious censorship on a soft drink website, Patrick’s conversation jumps from high-spirited banter to soul-searching stories of regret and forgiveness, all while inviting listeners to poke, question, and linger with each unpredictable thread. Generations, prayer, tech confusion, and late-life redemption all flicker in and out as Patrick keeps the pace brisk, the tone honest, and the subject matter ever-changing.   Get off the shed! (00:02) Alfredo - My family had a great Spanish pilgrimage. We prayed for you. I want to share the 6 points from your Surprised by Truth book.

    Patrick weaves together playful banter about taco-themed music and spirited exchanges with listeners, then turns straight into serious matters—tackling family conflict over weddings outside the Church and same-sex relationships with honesty and empathy. He moves quickly from humor to heartfelt personal stories, sharing practical guidance rooted in real faith and genuine struggle. An unexpected mix of advice, laughter, and the unvarnished reality of Catholic witness drives the conversation forward.   Patrick and Cyrus have fun listening to the upcoming yet-to-be-titled “Taco Tuesday” songs Dcn Dave (email) - Church use for funeral (05:50) Email - I’m confused because there seems to be times it’s okay to go to a non-Catholic wedding and times it’s not okay. (08:33) Mitch - My sister is engaged to another girl. (20:17) Caoimhe - I want to let Patrick know how my life has been going since I stopped using my phone for several years. (39:31)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 06, 2026 - Hour 3

    Patrick answers questions about faith and family, Catholic teachings on purgatory, confession, and natural family planning. He reads listener reactions, offers scriptural context for traditions, and gives real-world advice. Judgment, wisdom, laughter, and hope intersect as Patrick moves through calls, scripture, and lived experience.   Joe - Is there a biblical blessing or prayer on guarding your eyes? (03:19) Arcadia - How do you know it was Moses and Elijah whom Jesus was talking to when he got transfigured? (07:58) Rose - If you go to confession right before you pass, why do you still go to purgatory and if so, what is the point of confessing right before death? (16:50) David - I've been reading Proverbs with my daughter, but the text is a father addressing a son. I interject and say 'to you my daughter'. Is that ok? (26:32) Anthony Hopkins composed “And the Waltz Goes On” when he was a 26-year-old piano student in 1964 but never released it because feared nobody would like it. 47 years later, his wife, Stella Arroyave, discovered the forgotten music and sent it to Dutch violinist and conductor André Rieu. Rieu loved the composition so much that he arranged the piece for his Johann Strauss Orchestra. In 2011, Hopkins sat in an audience in Vienna to hear his forgotten music composition being performed live by Rieu and his orchestra for the very first time. He was visibly moved to tears. https://x.com/JamesMelville/status/2084246490994635000?s=20 (30:24) Email - I listened to your NFP question from Tuesday, and I have a follow up question.

How long (months/years) is OK to space out children by using NFP, with no grave reason? Does a couple have to space children out until the women hits menopause, or can she use NFP once she has many children or is 40 years or older? (37:11)

    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.

    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.

    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?

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.
