(00:26) Email - I was divorced almost 5 years ago after being married for 32 years with two children.  I was married and divorced civilly.  I want to pursue an annulment and would like to talk with someone who knows the specifics of the process and Canon Law.  Patrick in Trenton, NJ - How can we explain, through the Bible, that God the Father is considered a male?

    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 07, 2026 - Hour 3

    Patrick welcomes heartfelt questions, drawing out stories of faith and struggles with Catholic teaching that pulse with honesty and everyday longing. He unpacks the Catholic sense of praying to Mary, the ache for reunion with loved ones and pets, concerns about confession, the ripple of temptation, restless little ones in the pew, and the raw question of why God permits suffering. Each call pulls him into a different corner of Catholic life—confusion, hope, guilt, even laughter—and he moves between them with practical encouragement, nuance, and warmth.   Janine – We don’t pray to Mary; we pray through her. Also, are we going to see our pets and loved ones in Heaven? (00:46) Jennifer - I had two abortions, went to confession, but cannot remember if the priest who absolved me excommunicated me.

    The Patrick Madrid Show: July 06, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick explores the sharp contrast between media-fed perceptions and firsthand experiences, following a German traveler who discovers unexpected warmth in America and leaves changed. Listeners find Patrick weaving connections between personal stories—children earning $127 with lemonade, the pitfalls of an improperly formed conscience, moral dilemmas in voting, even the surprising commercialization of sacred spaces—while never shying from pressing into controversial or quietly meaningful territory.   Audio: German World Cup fan falls in love with the USA - https://x.com/mattvanswol/status/2073382535266976165/video/1?s=46 (01:59) Ramiro - Is it okay to listen to non-denominational content on the radio? (10:04) Thomas - Is there a physical connection to the world now to how it was before the fall? (15:27) Mark (email) - It seems that many of the followers of the SSPX believe that they are truly doing the right thing by remaining in the SSPX. So, they are following their conscience, as we are told in the Catholic Church that we must do. And, as I understand it, if a person is excommunicated, they are going to hell if they don't have the excommunication removed. Is this correct? (23:40) Juan - What are your thoughts on voting pro-choice versus pro-life issues? (33:25) Catalina (12-years-old) - There were tables with items being sold in Notre Dame, in Paris. I didn’t like it.
