The Patrick Madrid Show

Patrick explores faith’s practical questions through honest listener interactions, offering ways to handle suffering and confession, even as he gently challenges assumptions about spiritual maturity and everyday life. He addresses marriage struggles, the pain of regret, and the hope found in sacramental practices, always weaving in wisdom from Catholic tradition and lived experience. Queries about family, intention in prayer, and different Catholic rites receive thoughtful, sometimes surprising responses that linger well beyond the broadcast. Breanna (email) - What is the proper way to offer suffering up? (00:44) Chris (email) – Protestants go to hell? I must have misheard or misunderstood what you said. Thank you for clarifying it. (13:29) Stephanie (email) - The Church keeps drilling it into my head - go to Confession, go to Confession, go to Confession. Even if I don't really have anything to confess? (18:50) Rosie - My husband let me know he is leaving and I am pregnant with my 4th child. He said the only way he will stay is if we use contraceptives. What can I do? (28:41) Dustin - You were talking about liturgical rites yesterday. How many rites are there? (39:02 Lisa - Did you have any recommendations on Catholic homeschooling program? (43:27) Sylvia (email) – My husband is very verbally and physically abusive, but I stay with him because I’m Catholic. (44:52)

Patrick answers questions about raising faith-driven kids, honest struggles with temptation, and the complexities of sacramental life, weaving real stories and sharp responses with a quick sense of humor. His conversations with parents and young adults press into everything from college challenges and liturgical questions to forgiveness, purity, and the mystery of spiritual warfare, all without shying away from the rawness of redemption or everyday frustrations. Jenna - As a mom of 7, I think it is beautiful that a man called in wanting a chaste woman. (01:21) Lisa (email) – This brings to mind Rahab. Rehab was chosen by God to be in the lineage of Christ. How amazing how he loves to redeem us. (05:46) Alexis (email) - This poor guy has a preference! He wants a certain type of woman who has lived a certain type of life. Good on him! (06:48) Email - My husband had a pornography addiction prior to marriage for which he sought counseling at that time. I think we both assumed at the time we were married that he would be free from that addiction, but it has persisted for the last 15 years of our marriage. (07:30) Mark (email) - Why, during Mass, do we use a "Responsorial" Psalm rather than just reading the Psalm as they are in Scripture? (10:27) Jamie – I think it’s wonderful for a young man to try and find a pure young woman (12:35) Ben - Can you get married in a Church that has the tabernacle off to the side? (18:59) Joe - How can I identify attacks from demons? I feel like going to Confession is similar to identifying the presence of the devil. What do you think? (22:29) Al - After we go to Reconciliation, are we going to be judged for all of the forgiven sins that we committed? (33:41) Jeremy - What are your thoughts about a popular exorcist priest saying that demons can interject thoughts into the mind? (38:33)

Patrick starts the hour with a sharp analogy about spiritual perseverance, linking everyday distractions to the struggle between temptation and encouragement. Calls pour in as listeners wrestle with questions about demons, intrusive thoughts, church customs, family duties, and difficult parish gossip. Patrick brings Saints, classic books, and real stories, answering plainly, sometimes with humor, sometimes with hard truth, and always urging listeners to keep moving forward. Patrick continues his conversation with Jeremy from the end of the last hour about if demons can interject thoughts into your mind (02:19) Bobbie - Why is the Annunciation not a Holy Day of Obligation? (12:11) Tonya - Exorcism films always seem to show poor families. Why don't we see rich people being attacked? I have doubts about exorcism. (18:32) Charles - How does our obligation of obedience to our parents change in adulthood? I am thinking about this because I am a parent now. (23:49) Annie - After mass on Sunday, our Church has coffee and donuts. I always hear the servers gossiping about each other and Church members. What can I say? Should I talk to pastor? (28:03) Serena - My son won’t speak to me anymore. It is heartbreaking. What can I do? (36:25) Scott - My family member married a virgin. Marrying a virgin is not always ideal, I think.

Patrick jumps into the wild news of AI-generated music pulling in millions of dollars on streaming platforms, sparking debate about what’s really honest or creative anymore. Listeners call in with questions on everything from church rules for interfaith marriages to why God prefers faith and hiddenness over grand reveals, and Patrick pulls from scripture and church teaching, offering clear yet heartfelt responses with the occasional grin. Patrick does not like broccoli! (00:32) Man pleads guilty to $8 million AI-generated music scheme (04:14) Josh - I have a question about salvation. What will happen to my wife and daughters who aren’t Catholic? (10:53) Kakette - I don't have an issue with AI music if it is beautiful. What is the problem with having AI generated music? (21:48) Angela - My son is getting married next month. He got a dispensation but the priest objects to performing the mass. What can we do? (28:21) April - Why doesn't God just show his power and reveal himself like He did in the Bible? (36:39) Fran - I am attending the OCIA classes as a supporter and yesterday in class the teacher said that Confirmation wipes sin away. Is this correct? (43:22) Alex - At what point does AI become plagiarism? What if I use it to write a sermon? (46:57)

Patrick welcomes listeners into raw, honest exchanges about faith and salvation, engaging callers as they wrestle with family struggles, religious divisions, and what Christ's teachings demand. Questions spark direct answers rooted in scripture and Catholic belief; Patrick confronts confusion about interfaith marriage, salvation outside the Church, and the lasting consequences of false doctrine. Urgent, reflective, and never afraid to challenge, Patrick presses forward with humility and boldness. Mary - We had a mass at my wedding, but my husband is a non-Catholic. Was that valid wedding? (01:24) Bobby - Will all non-Catholics go to hell or is there a Church law that rectifies this? I think being Jewish is ethnic for sure but also a choice not to believe in Christ. (10:22) Rick - It is possible that people can choose Christ in Purgatory? We need to stop arguing about what happens there. (21:18) Dave - I heard that only the soul who wants to be damned is damned. How does this correlate with the readings in the Bible? (36:00) Devin - I affirm that you are right about no salvation outside the Catholic Church. The Council of Florence backs this up. (41:06) Patrick in Ohio - How does Ephesian 4:14 fit into what you are saying? (42:53)

Drawing from scripture and Church tradition, Patrick opens with candid talk about the Eucharist after a caller asks how to address family who reject its significance. Listeners present questions about Communion, business ethics as a Catholic, and differences between rites, prompting Patrick to respond with quick stories, direct advice, and a reminder that true reasons for leaving the Church often lurk beneath the surface. Conversations stumble across pain, urgency, misunderstanding, and encouragement, as Patrick keeps the focus on honest dialogue and patient listening. Matthew - Can you clarify Leviticus 17 in regard to John 6 about the Real Presence in the Eucharist? (00:40) What I Learned From an Angry Ex-Catholic: The Unexpected Power of Listening Instead of Defending - By Patrick Madrid - https://patrickmadrid.substack.com/p/sometimes-the-right-answer-is-silence Chris - I am a Latin-rite Catholic. A Maronite Catholic priest only wants to provide Communion for my fiancée and me. (14:31) Pat - I want to comment on the last guy. I think that man is being judgmental. This upsets me. (20:45) Alexander - Are the Orthodox Churches not in Communion with the Catholic Church because of narcissism? (29:16) Alex - What does the Catholic Church teach about finances and starting a business? (36:50) Patrick shares a couple of emails from today’s show Joseph - I heard Vatican II sought to preserve the Latin Language. How come the missal is in English, if this is true? (43:17) Peter - I am a Melkite Catholic who loves the Orthodox, but they are still holding onto the Crusades. They have adopted Protestant thinking. (46:36)

Patrick tackles layered questions about the Mass, clarifying that each celebration draws believers into Christ’s original sacrifice at Calvary, never repeating it. Calls pour in about marriage, confession, and salvation; Patrick listens, guides, and responds with honesty and warmth, urging listeners to confront their histories and trust God’s mercy while offering unflinching advice on overcoming stumbling blocks. Eric (email) - Is the sacrifice that happens at each Mass distinct from Calvary and any other Mass (i.e. is Jesus sacrificed multiple times?) OR is the sacrifice of every Mass a participation in some mysterious way in the sacrifice of Calvary (i.e. Jesus was only sacrificed once and for all at Calvary)? (01:01) Kathy - I was married in the Lutheran Church and got divorced after 15 years. I got remarried and divorced again years later. Was I committing adultery the 2nd time? (07:01) Jim - If you are a Protestant, would you be welcome in heaven like Catholics are? Do Catholics get into heaven first? (17:18) Marty - What about the thief on the cross? How could Jesus have accepted him? (36:47)

Patrick welcomes listeners with an update from Cat on her journey into the Catholic Church and shares genuine advice on Sunday obligations, confession, and true presence in the Eucharist—all through candid, everyday conversations. From exploring concerns about pop culture and spiritual influences to tackling questions about why Catholics refrain from non-Catholic communion, Patrick moves fluidly between heartfelt encouragement and sharp theological clarity. Cat - I called in 2023 asking about Confession and am now I’m becoming Catholic because of you. (00:59) Patrick shares Cat’s call from 2 years ago - https://relevantradio.com/2023/06/the-patrick-madrid-show-why-the-seal-of-confession-can-never-be-broken/ (03:26) George - Is it ok to visit homes with a realtor on Sundays? (10:42) Patrick in Trenton, NJ - I want to add to Marty's question (from the end of the first hour). Staying in communication with God is what helps me. I find myself losing patience, but when I remember this, it helps. (17:58) Brian - Does everything we are surrounded by have the ability to be possessed? (I am thinking of Harry Potter Books and Pokémon cards). Do we have free will? (20:50) Dan - Isaiah 6:1 refers to the Lord of Hosts and before then it talks about a Seraphim. It seems to suggest this angel is not just spiritual. If they have reproductive organs, are little angels being made? (26:42) Jerry - I heard that Catholics shouldn’t receive communion in a non-Catholic Church. Did Christ descend into hell? (41:25)

Listener calls propel Patrick into discussions about sainthood, last-minute conversions, Catholic sacraments, and the curious details of Miraculous Medals, blending humor with answers that challenge assumptions. The episode moves quickly, mixing quick banter and layered reflections on faith, making the experience both unpredictable and direct. Chuck Norris has passed away. (00:46) David - If a person receives the sacraments a couple days before they die and they don’t sin, will they become a saint? (06:03) Gaby - You mentioned something that made me rethink myself. You are grateful for what you do, and it made me think more about what I do at my job. (09:01) Jim - Can a Protestant receive Confession if they have already been baptized and agree the priest has the authority to forgive sins? Can someone about to enter the Church receive the sacrament? (14:02) Joseph - What does the star on the top of the Miraculous Medal mean? I have heard those are cursed. (19:09) Angel - I remember Chuck Norris as a mellow and kind person. Do we know anything about St. Jospeh's parents? (30:57) Mel - I have trouble understanding that if I went to another Church that I couldn't take Communion. Can you explain this? (33:48)

Patrick answers questions about defending Catholic colleges, the making of a Doctor of the Church, and the encounter between Jesus and John the Baptist, all while fielding candid conversations about spiritual warfare and practical Christian living. Laughter, debate, and encouragement ripple through as Patrick threads practical theology with the unfiltered experiences of real people. Patrick starts the show sharing some emails that came in just after yesterday’s show about stretching money and enjoying life (01:07) Jennifer - How do I defend Catholic colleges supporting abortion to my non-Catholic family members? (06:11) Stanley - Will Pope Benedict 16 be declared a Doctor of the Church. Does a Doctor of the Church need to be declared a saint first?

(34:21) Anna - What you are saying about the occult is NOT sufficient about the sacraments and spiritual warfare. (40:42)

Patrick opens with thoughts on how smartphones at the table subtly alter relationships, then fields calls about forgotten saints like Hildegard of Bingen, the oddities of canonization, and whether attending a bridal shower at a cohabiting couple’s place sends the wrong message. Questions zigzag across everything from the possibility of George Harrison’s late return to faith, the connection between classic movie scores and traditional masterpieces, to the enigma of why people say "River Jordan" instead of "Jordan River." Humor, moral wrestling, and unpredictable detours abound as Patrick guides listeners through faith, music, and modern life’s small provocations.

(04:12) Richard - Is there a correlation between Classical Music and the Doctors of the Church? Could you say that the Beatles would be considered as Beethoven or Bach was? (08:24) Audio: George Harrison and John Lennon talk about having money - https://youtube.com/shorts/5rM41yhWkgw (17:00) George - I think you are hanging up a bit on the term Classical music. It is the staying power that makes it classical. (20:50) Elva - Could it be possible that Elizabeth told John about Jesus in the womb? (23:35) Stuart - Was St. John spared a violent death because he took Mary in? What could the reason be? Why was he spared? (26:26) Colleen - How do I handle a family situation involving cohabitation? My cousin and fiancée are living together. Can I attend the wedding? (33:28) Trish - I am a big Beatles fan and heard George converted back to Christianity when he had cancer. (35:20) Geri - St. Hildegard has some wonderful liturgical music. Jim - I think scores from movies are the closest we can get to modern classical music. Is the Iran War a moral or just war? (39:52)

Patrick answers uncomfortable questions that demand clarity and real answers about family dilemmas surrounding IVF and awkward moments at Mass. He speaks straight, whether addressing baptism without parental consent, why Catholics shouldn’t receive communion in Methodist services, or confronting end-of-life trials with medical decisions. Every call sparks his candor and keeps the conversation both grounded and utterly unpredictable. Email - What is the best response to a relative who is excited to tell you that her daughter and husband are going through IVF and they have three embryos? (01:15) April - Why isn't there any historical evidence for Jesus outside of the Bible and Christian literature? (10:01) Judy (email) - There are several times during mass when people hold their hands facing up and then go even higher with their hands. I wonder where that came from and what you think. (15:28) Jim - IVF does affect medical workers too. Our sonogram technician was shaken because she said people decide which babies live and which ones die.

His mix of scriptural insight, compassion, and candid conversation with Cyrus results in authentic exchanges, there’s compassion for the uncertain, clear explanations when doctrine feels confusing, and encouragement for those walking through grief or doubt. In the mix, Patrick reminds listeners that trust in God’s mercy and a practical approach to Catholic life matter as much as answers do. Joe – What is Eternal Life? Also, I don't see why the Church would be against grandma baptizing the baby. (01:54) Colleen - Is laying on of hands, including in the Charismatic Renewal, ok? (11:32) Teri - I want to make a comment about being slain in the Spirit. I used to be so against it and only the Holy Spirit can take you. It was the most peace I ever felt. (17:58) Kevin - My dad was in a Catholic hospital. He asked the priest if he could receive the Anointing of the Sick. The priest said no because he was Episcopalian. Could I request Masses for my father? I found out he was conditionally baptized as a Catholic. (24:11) Rob - What is the Catholic understanding of works and grace? (36:04)

(30:51) John - Jesus said that it was neither the blindman's sin or his parents that caused his blindness, yet in today's Gospel, Jesus tells him to go and sin no more. This seems like a contradiction. What do you think? (33:46) Laura - I went to Confession and I asked about the woman of the well. The priest told me that her sin had nothing to do with having five husbands or sexual sin, but five gods. What do you think? (40:54)
