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

    Patrick answers listener questions about Catholic practices, clears up confusion about novenas and the national Sacred Heart consecration, and speaks openly about conspiracy theories linked to Israel and Jewish influence in politics. He advocates critical thinking, helps parents find wholesome books for their children, and examines the complexities of forgiveness during confession. With a tone both candid and encouraging, Patrick guides the conversation through faith, skepticism, and the noise of modern culture.   Chris (email) - Doesn't novena mean nine? And if so, why are some novenas 54 days long? (00:51) What Did Jesus Mean by “Vain Repetition”? What Scripture actually teaches about persistence, formula prayers, and faith by Patrick Madrid - https://patrickmadrid.substack.com/p/what-did-jesus-mean-by-vain-repetition Todd - I have heard a lot of conversations about Israel and Jewish people. What Israel has been up to with genocide is wrong and also Sean Strickland being banned from UFC. Are you in the tank for Israel? (07:25) Jorge - I am worried about how social media is confusing people with conspiracy theories like the one with your previous caller. (23:37) Marcela - Can you help me figure out how to find a Catholic book for my 15-year-old daughter? (35:39) Lynda – We need to identify Jews as human beings.

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

    Patrick hosts a conversation that swings from conspiracy theories and moral confusion online to powerful stories of forgiveness, grief, and family friction. He brings out listener voices wrestling with memory healing, biblical self-defense, and the raw heartache of new marriages after loss—balancing hard realities with encouragement to simply keep going. Along the way, Patrick responds to questions on Church teaching, end times, and the creation story, never lingering long before shifting energy and topic.   Pepper - People just don't understand not all Jews the same. I think people at the top of Israel are not the same as rank-and-file Israelis. (00:35) Stacy - Healing of memories helped me learn how to forgive. (07:52) Nicholas (9-years-old) - If a bully says he will attack you, should you run away? (12:42) Patrick reads and responds to emails (20:01) Joy – A widow and a widower married, and the husband's son is not talking to the new wife. He is excluding his step-mom and doesn't approve of the marriage. Do you have any advice? (32:19) Roxana - I want to stay at home with my 8-month-old daughter and leave my job. I need some encouragement because this has been a difficult decision for me. (39:43) Keep Going - https://patrickmadrid.substack.com/p/keep-going JoAnn - What is your opinion about Msgr. Rosetti being removed from his position because of his UFO comments? (44:08) Elizabeth - I know how it is to lose a spouse. I wouldn't marry someone who didn't love my kids.

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

    Patrick fields listener questions ranging from family challenges in blended households and the priorities Catholics hold in difficult situations, to biblical phenomena like the resurrection of saints in Matthew's Gospel. Rapid-fire shifts bring him to the heart of disputes over public perception, topics like Christian nationalism, and living a faithful Catholic life amid cultural shifts, while listeners recount raw experiences about self-defense, priestly celibacy, and the unexpected benefits of staying home with young children. The episode pulses with stories, real-world dilemmas, and an ever-present call to keep going—practical, sometimes messy, always grounded in faith.   Rosie (email) – Does the husband has an obligation first to his wife. If she isn’t invited, shouldn’t he decline to attend the birthday party? I also thought the church taught God first, spouse second, children third, and everything else after that? (00:37) Patricia - Can you explain Matthew 27 where the tombs are opened? (04:51) Martin (11-years-old) - I heard that you said no one created God. What happened if you took one person away from God. (10:43) Mark - A lot of people are talking about the end of times. I think we need to make it a better world for the next generation instead of focusing on the 'end'.  (13:44) Mary (email) – Keep going Mary - The first Pope was married, so why can’t priests marry now? (25:47) Nathaniel - What do you think about the Crusades? (29:06) Melissa - I want to encourage woman to be stay at home moms. It was the best decision I ever made.  (32:31) Kim – Comment on being bullied (38:10) Jose - What do you think of Christian Nationalism? Is it bad to be proud of our Catholic religion? (44:31)

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

    Family rituals face pressure from digital distractions while Patrick examines the sway of social media over young adults, and as listeners call in, he grapples with misunderstandings around Jewish identity and explores the subtle boundaries between faith traditions, generational conflict, and societal expectations.   A man crashed a stolen car outside St. Joseph Shrine. Then he bolted. The Rector heard the crash, and someone yelled "stop him." So, Rev. Jean-Baptiste Commins — in full cassock — tackled him, and held him until the police came. - https://x.com/acloudofsaints/status/2062167287327510734 (01:35) Roland (email) - Is it okay for me to attend my 24-year-old daughter’s immediate-family-only reception the day after her private Catholic church wedding (with only siblings as witnesses), even though my wife questions the marriage’s validity and we’re both disappointed by the no-guests decision amid ongoing mother-daughter tensions? (06:23) Josh - I want to drill down on people saying, 'the Jews'. There isn't one consensus among the Jews. You get many varied viewpoints and people need to understand that. Also, I struggle with faith because of antisemitism. Any advice? (17:45) Audio: This college professor (Sam Richards, a sociology professor at Penn State University) speaks out amazed at 'how many people hate Jews' - https://x.com/DangerousThinkg/status/2036529945350992288Joel (26:16) Joel (14-years-old) - How does it make sense for Christians to be antisemitic when Jews wrote most of the Bible? (28:36) Albert - I grew up Catholic. Why are men and boys entering Church wearing shorts? (30:45) Mark Swartzberg joins the conversation (36:31) Kurt - Why are Coptic, Catholic and Orthodox Churches being destroyed in southern Lebanon. Israeli soldiers defile icons. (40:13) Michael - In our culture, we are kind of focused on the powers that be and blaming them for our problems. Why can't we focus on our problems? What can we do as neighbors? (48:57)

    Patrick explores the challenges Catholics face living their faith today, moving through topics like subsidiarity, classic Church teaching, and perceptions of God’s mercy and justice across the testaments. He addresses practical issues such as Mass attire, sacraments, Catholic identity in complex family settings, and current Church controversies, all while engaging questions sparked by headlines and pop culture. Listeners encounter both historical perspective and real-life application as Patrick offers clarity and encouragement for Catholics in ordinary moments and extraordinary situations alike.   Patrick continues his conversation with Michael and Mark from the end of the last hour (03:26) Paulette - Do you have any thoughts on Protestant author Lee Strobel who wrote “The Case for Christ?” (08:23) Candace - I am a Baptist and my husband is Catholic. He supported me going to Baptist Church but doesn't support me anymore because of what my preacher said. Can you help me navigate this? (14:39) Gregory - The Archbishop of DC dismissed an exorcist priest. Was this the right thing to do? (20:40) Tony - Can I walk my daughter down the aisle? She isn't baptized and she is marrying a Protestant. (26:08) Pete - This UFO phenomena is a bunch of ridiculousness. (30:50) Don - I dress in a suit at Sunday Mass and wear shorts at daily mass. Should I dress more formally? (36:28) Alex - You said you don’t like banners in the mass. What kind of banners are you talking about? Some are liturgical and other people carry down the aisle. (45:32)

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

    Patrick fields questions with practical Catholic guidance, moving from Sabbath rest and Sunday obligations to the challenges of moral investing and the nuanced teachings on divorce, annulment, and Communion. He moves from correcting misconceptions about Gospel authorship to weighing the Church’s perspective on UFOs, touching on anxiety, modern complexity, and faith’s place in daily decisions.   Sophia - I just found out I am pregnant. Can I get lab work done on Sunday for peace of mind? (01:34) Molly – UFOs are real or God set the universe up where humanity is at the center. I am confused by these two conflicting opinions. (09:32) Patrick shares audio from Joe Rogan and comments on the misunderstandings of his guest Joe Eszterhas on the historical accuracy of the bible - https://x.com/Cyrus2274/status/2062502734171918574 (22:08) Dominic - Do you have any thoughts on what stocks to invest in or avoid from a Catholic viewpoint? Can I invest in a defense contractor because they get involved in wars, etc? (37:50) Rose - My brother wants to date after a divorce. Is he eligible to date?

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

    Patrick answers questions ranging from the rites of the Catholic Church and differences between Eastern Catholic and Orthodox practices to the emotional tug-of-war families sense over traditional Latin Mass versus contemporary liturgies, wrestling with reverence, choir commitments, and parental concerns for their children’s formation. He shares thoughts on altar girls, highlights generational shifts in liturgical norms, and responds to listener reflections about the abolitionist movement within pro-life circles, threading through conflicting impulses of tradition and innovation while also confronting online hostility and resurfacing anti-Jewish rhetoric. These moments, layered with personal anecdotes and real-time problem-solving, propel the episode forward with frankness, vulnerability, and a call for discerning faith in a world pulsing with contradiction.   Monica (email) - Could you elaborate on the Greek / Russian Orthodox. Are their priests ordained like ours? Can we attend their mass and receive the Eucharist? (00:43) Kristy (email) - Should we alternate Sundays between our local Novus Ordo parish (where our 9-year-old homeschooled son loves singing in the children’s choir twice a month) and the Traditional Latin Mass parish an hour away, or commit to one church to avoid confusing him? (06:27) Michael (email) - Should I allow my 6-year-old daughter—who already wants to be a nun—to serve at the altar in our reverent Novus Ordo parish (which has great reverence for the Eucharist), or would that risk pushing her away like my parents’ decision to forbid my sister, who later left for Protestantism? (19:51) Rich - What are your thoughts on being pro-life vs being an abortion abolitionist? (29:43) Andrew - I attended a wedding in a park and the presider said 'by the power invested in me by the universal life church, God, and her universe...'  (41:24) Irene - I came across a Catholic group on X that hates Jews (48:27)

    Patrick scrutinizes the surge of antisemitism among Catholics and Western societies, pressing into how anti-Zionist rhetoric often masks deeper animosity. Scripture and historical events get drawn in, with Patrick insisting on Christ’s directive to love enemies, rejecting bigotry even when popular sentiment turns dark. Moments of practical advice intertwine with sharp social critique as Patrick challenges listeners to confront hatred wherever it surfaces, whether online, in tradition-minded circles, or at the poker table among friends.   Patrick speaks on the uptick of antisemitism, and the growing danger of Jew hatred (00:40) Brian – How should I respond when a topic turns inappropriate or blasphemous? How can I evangelize but not be 'holier than thou'? (13:40) Randall (email) – Abolitionists demand equal protection under the law by banning all abortion and holding women legally accountable for what they consider murder, while pro-lifers—though well-intentioned—refuse to penalize women for the act, actively oppose abolitionist bills, and compromise biblical standards for secular political gain, as the speaker stands firmly with the Lord. (20:51) Glen - Is there a resource giving a comprehensive history between the Jews and Palestine? (23:03) Audio: Van Jones on the Jews - “We already ran a 3,000-year experiment where Jews did not have a state, and it ended with Hitler’s hell, in Hitler’s ovens. We are not going to run that experiment again…and anybody who cannot understand the basic logic of that, needs to explain why they can’t do basic math about who in the world is the most microscopic minority that deserves the support of humanity.” – https://x.com/cotlerwunsh/status/1995415011380908522?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (26:28) Audio: Melanie Phillips warning that the return of antisemitism is not an isolated hatred but a symptom of a society losing its grip on reason, evidence, and moral restraint - https://x.com/JohnAndersonAC/status/2000433484637061520?s=20 (29:07) Audio: Jews are the warning. The West is the target. - https://x.com/vividprowess/status/2003042579194265966?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (33:38) Audio: An explanation for hatred of Jews with @GadSaad – 6 Degrees of Jew - https://x.com/fleurhassann/status/2016974127265984680 (39:47) Eli - I'm a middle eastern Christian. All muslims are told to kill and hate Christians-all Muslims are terrorists, but they don’t think that. (41:51)
