    The Patrick Madrid Show: September 18, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick responds to questions on Church tradition, saintly names, and the lasting impact of liturgical history. He features candid commentary from Lucy Biggers, who shares her story of recognizing personal bias and ideological influence in her career as a climate reporter, sparking both agreement and challenge from callers about truth, self-reflection, and societal pressures. The episode also addresses the struggles families face with digital technology, mental health, indoctrination, and the complex roots of antisemitism, while inviting listeners to seek compassion and clarity in a world of conflicting voices.   Anthony (email) - Why has the Church selected seven specific women, among the hundreds, if not thousands, of women saints, to be commemorated during the Eucharistic Prayer? (16:13) Audio: "I explain how I was brainwashed into becoming a biased climate reporter" Lucy Biggers @LLBiggers - https://x.com/LLBiggers/status/2100573854615642446?s=20 (05:37) Jessica - Locking the phones is not working out for my kids. An Instagram Video sparked a mental health crisis in my husband. (21:59) Dylan - I partially disagree with video you played. She didn't actually emphasize climate change and what it is. Same talking points of imperialism, white man, etc. No substance. (33:00) Audio: Bill Mahr on how this country is so antisemitic now (talking with David Foster) - https://x.com/RedWavePress/status/2100243551133016084?s=20 (42:32) Audio: “Antisemitism is a lie that people use to gain or maintain power. And the lie is always the same: Jews are destroying what you value most." @DaraHorn joined @coldxman at the 92nd Street Y to discuss her new book, ‘The Final Solution to the Jewish Question,’ and why she thinks Jew-hatred has less to do with hate than with power. - https://x.com/TheFP/status/2100607160509984987?s=20 (46:51)

    Patrick helps callers wrestling with feelings of rejection, strained church relationships, and the longing for a deeper connection to faith. The episode moves through practical wisdom on finding belonging, humility, and courage in spiritual communities as anecdotes and advice offer solace for those seeking a path back to the Church and regular prayer. Threaded with humor, gratitude, and moments of vulnerability, the episode delivers inspiration for anyone feeling left out or longing for renewal.   Anthony (email) - Does 1 Samuel 28, where God permits the deceased Samuel to speak to Saul, show that the dead have a real existence after death rather than unconscious nothingness until the final judgment? (01:28) Does it matter what someone else thinks of you? Tom - How do I reach someone who is Episcopalian? At this person's Church, they just baptized a trans person. She has trouble with this but she doesn't want to leave. At her Sunday School they play Dungeons and Dragons for the kids. (21:32) Sharon - What people think of you is not your business because if it was you wouldn’t get up in the morning. (29:26) Mark – Sometimes you meet someone and for some unknown reason there’s something about them that you just don’t like. (33:29) Jim - I think self-examination reveals that I tend to react that way to people with dominant personalities. I ask what in me causes that reaction. (40:49) Russ - Why didn't they translate Latin mass exactly into the vernacular? Would it lose its reverence if it we celebrated the exact Latin Mass in English? (46:10)
