Mother Miriam, Bishop Schneider, and Cardinal Burke all maintain that Pope Leo XIV is the legitimate pope, despite criticizing aspects of his teaching. But church historian Ed Mazza argues that the more fundamental question is whether the current pope is truly a valid pope at all.Drawing on Church history, councils, theologians, and papal writings, Mazza contends that the Catholic Church has consistently taught that a pope cannot officially teach heresy through the Church's magisterium. Accepting the idea of a pope promulgating doctrinal error while remaining pope creates a theological contradiction. Historical debates over heretical popes and antipopes are not abstract; they are precedents.Looking at historical examples of saints, bishops, and lay Catholics confronting suspected antipopes and heresy: St. Columba, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Vincent Ferrer. Church history demonstrates that faithful Catholics have sometimes publicly challenged ecclesiastical authorities when they believed the faith was endangered, while also stressing the importance of charity toward those who disagree.Make the switch today to iCatholicMobile today!iCatholic Mobile—supporting the Catholic faith with every connection.https://www.facebook.com/icatholicmobile https://www.icatholicmobile.com/ HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Diane Pietras to share the story of her incredible faith journey. Raised Catholic, Diane's story isn't the typical story of a Catholic convert from another faith tradition – although she does, indeed, become a non-denominational Evangelical at one point – but rather a story of proper conversion: of falling away and coming back to the faith, again and again. Diane's story is one of deep tragedy and trauma, of spiritual warfare and physical violence, of demons and dreams and visions, of incredible mystical experiences and a near-death encounter. It's an amazing story. Listener discretion advised: some content is not suitable for all listeners.Please do listen to Diane's daughter, Carolyn, in Episode 353 of the podcast.For more from Diane and her daughter Carolyn, please follow her brand new YouTube channel.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

Pre-order A Catechism of the Strange here: https://www.amazon.com/Catechism-Strange-Stigmata-Relics-Miracles/dp/0829460683 Catholicism is full of wounds, bones, dreams, incorrupt bodies, visions, relics, and saints who seemed to glow with the presence of God.But these strange things are not merely spooky trivia. They reveal something essential about the Christian life: grace does not simply forgive us from a distance. It enters us, transforms us, and conforms us to Christ.In this episode, I talk about why I wrote A Catechism of the Strange, how wonder helped lead me back to the faith, and what the strangest corners of Catholic tradition reveal about what every human person was created to become.

Patrick continues his conversation with Al from the fist hour about what Catholic’s mean by salvation Stacy - Can you explain the gift of tears and what this means? (10:13) Connie - A former student of mine is involved with the Society of St. Pius V. Are they with the Church? (19:38) Joe - When I pray, I use a lot of prayer cards. Many mention the intention. I am constantly praying for the same thing because it has not been answered. Am I lacking faith? Should I stop? (24:03) Terry - My Protestant friend is saying that if you leave the Catholic faith, you are doomed and says that CCC 841 says that Muslims are including. (33:16) Kathy - To whom was St. Jerome speaking when he said, “you can't love God if you don't know him and you can't know if you don't read Scripture”? (41:56)

Patrick celebrates the release of his free 14 track album, KEEP GOING, and details how you can get it. Keep Going – The Patrick Madrid Show Album Release Party! (00:36) Marty - Caller yesterday thought that a pastor would be charged $100 for not submitting a marriage certificate after a wedding. That is not the case, I am a lawyer. (06:50) Craig - How can I explain transubstantiation? (16:06) Megan - Why do you think so many famous saints died young? (33:19) Charles - About the gentleman who was having a difficult time understanding transubstantiation. The Miracle of Lanciano would help him understand. (43:55) Adam - Why is the bishop of Rome the Pope and not the Bishop of Antioch? (47:32) Al - I was raised Catholic and converted to being Evangelical. What is the Catholic definition of salvation? (49:11)

Gianni Vattimo — the Catholic-communist-gay Italian pioneer of pensiero debole (weak thought) — died in 2023, and the intellectual biography he deserved has finally arrived, courtesy of Thomas Jared Farmer, a fellow Claremont alum who wrote the book at the University of Münster and now works at Emory Law School. Vattimo is not the household philosopher he should be in English, and this book fixes that. Farmer weaves the biography I did not know — five-year-old Vattimo under British bombs in Turin, his Calabrian accent he could not shake, his flight from a Red Brigades hit list of his own former students, his letter-writing relationship with Pope Francis, his friendship with Umberto Eco — into the four big ideas that make Vattimo essential right now. What weak thought actually is. Why metaphysical certainty always ends in violence. Why secularization is the fulfillment of Christianity, not its enemy. And why hermeneutic communism is what the anti-authoritarian imagination needs. One of the most fun conversations I have had all summer. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Dr. Thomas Jared Farmer is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University School of Law, where he works with John Witte on the intersection of philosophical hermeneutics and legal theory. He completed his MA in philosophy of religion at Claremont Graduate University (studying with Ingolf Dalferth and the late Anselm Min) and his PhD at the University of Münster in Germany under Hans-Peter Grosshans. He grew up in the International Pentecostal Holiness Church in upstate South Carolina. His new book is Gianni Vattimo: Philosopher, Communist, Catholic, Nihilist (Columbia University Press, 2025) — the definitive English-language intellectual biography of Vattimo. JOIN OUR OPEN ONLINE CLASS: The Empire Christ Couldn't Keep Ever notice how Christian nationalism gets talked about like it's some bizarre new glitch in the faith? It isn't — it's a 2,000-year-old arrangement wearing new clothes, and once you see how the pattern works, you can also spot the Christ who keeps slipping free of it. Join theologian Joerg Rieger and Tripp Fuller for The Christ Empire Couldn't Keep, a free six-week online class tracing the holy alliances, imperial creeds, and stubborn resistance that have shaped Christianity from Paul to the present. You'll get six lectures from Joerg, six live Q&As, weekly readings from his book Christ and Empire, and a community of fellow troublemakers thinking it through together.

Patrick explores the blessings and struggles Catholic families encounter, from moms torn between income and being with their kids to the Church’s teachings about burial, relics, and sacramental marriage. He answers questions on choosing faith-driven paths in a world of mixed messages, why certain Church practices matter, and how civil law interacts with belief. Through vivid stories and heartfelt exchanges, Patrick reveals how grace and patience thread through ordinary days, rooting people in hope even as life gets messy. Carmen (email) - You really think it's ok for a mom to quit her job and go on food stamps so the family can live on her husband's income? Wouldn't you think this would be a reason to limit family size using NFP, rather than going on welfare? (00:38) Rose - Why do bodies need to be buried? What’s wrong with cremation and keeping the ashes? (03:30) John - What is the reason we pray the prayer of St. Michael at the end of Mass? (09:32) Donna - How is it that the Catholic church makes relics out of the bodies of the Saints and spreads the body parts across the world? (10:53) Fred – Women should stay home and raise the family. Let your husband take care of the bills. (13:04) Scott - What is the definition of marriage? (15:08) Steffanie - I stopped teaching so I can be with my third baby. It’s not easy. (24:50) Stacy - Are priests not doing a good job warning people about going to hell? (30:22) Katherine - My son and daughter-in-law are meeting with the priest about becoming Catholic. During a recent meeting, the priest said he can go to confession (about marrying civilly) and go to Holy Communion. Would he be compounding sin upon sin? (40:45) Annette - I was looking for a new car, and a great surprise came through! (44:54) Michelle - I would like all parents to know that when kids are noisy at Mass, I am not bothered at all. The fact that there are there is a blessing and a joy (48:07) Lory - Stay at home moms: I was able to do that also. I had my own business and I was able to bring them with me. So many people told me that I should put my kids in day care. (49:57)

Patrick opens the lines to questions on everything from the nuances of calling oneself Catholic versus Roman Catholic, to the thorny spaces of marriage, conversion, and sacramental life when couples move at different speeds. He moves between callers wrestling with Protestant arguments on faith and works, personal battles with divorce, haunting memories of abortion, and even speculation about the glorified resurrected body and incorrupt saints. Unexpected candor and tension ripple beneath discussions as Patrick brings clarity and hope, offering listeners both practical steps and spiritual encouragement. Patrick continues his conversation with Rafael from the previous hour about by we are referred to as “Roman Catholics” Rick - I had a discussion with a Protestant and quoted James about faith and works. He said that the Book of James was just for the Jews and not for non-Jewish people. (06:21) Deidra - I heard your comment about the Holy Ghost. When 120 disciples were up in the upper room, they had the power to speak in tongues but didn’t have power to heal. People don’t speak in tongues anymore. (10:34) Jake - Why is a couple forced to be married in the Church if both are Catholic, but if only one is Catholic they are not required to be married in the Church? (16:56) Juan – My wife had an abortion many years ago and I still have guilt (33:52) Stuart - What are the anatomical features of the resurrected body? (40:01) Don - Encourages the last caller to not go through divorce and to stick it out (46:17)

Patrick explores pressing listener questions about Catholic practices, why posture at Mass matters, and what true unity looks like when traditions shift unexpectedly. Scriptural references and personal stories fuel a wide-ranging exchange on receiving Communion with the right preparation, the impact of Church history on faith, and facing challenges from Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons at the door. Those conversations stretch from investigating the label “Roman Catholic” to untangling misunderstandings about the sacraments, all while encouraging listeners to keep pursuing clarity and reverence in their faith journey. Kip (email) - As a cradle Catholic who has always knelt in reverence after the Lamb of God, I was so disturbed by the complete lack of kneeling and overall irreverence during the Liturgy of the Eucharist at a new parish I tried yesterday that it felt like a Protestant service and has left me convinced such practices are eroding belief in Christ’s true presence in the Eucharist and leading the flock astray. (00:46) Mark - I thought that being born again was enough. Why do I need 7 sacraments? (05:21) Dan - You gave me research to do on the early Church, and I now agree with you. Can you give me details on Linus, Cletus and Clement? (20:46) Kathy - How do I deal with Jehovah's Witnesses? Also thank you for the advice you gave me 2 months ago. (37:59) Rafael - Why are we referred to as Roman Catholics?

Patrick invites listeners into unexpected territory as he tackles questions on Catholic prayer translations, parish life challenges, family suffering, and the place of laypeople in spiritual warfare. An unsettling story about artificial intelligence escaping its digital boundaries brings a technological twist to the conversation while listeners share heartfelt calls about faith, confusion, and finding solid ground when facing loss. Thought-provoking exchanges stretch from the mysteries of guardian angels to the unsettling rise of sentient machines. James (email) - Why is the "Glory Be" in the Divine Office different from the classical version? Why hasn't the Church sought to standardize it? Sometimes I get looks from people who have never heard that version. (00:30) Agatha - I earnestly ask questions at church, and I caused scandal for reasons I don’t understand. (03:33) Susanna – What liberation prayers can a lay person pray, and which ones should I stay away from? (15:23) Barbara - I had a 63-year-old sister with down syndrome. She could not swallow. Priest said she could not express her wishes, and it was okay for God to take her. (22:23) Janice - I think its urgent for her to put in the IV because God is calling her home. (26:51) Bennett (12-years-old) - What happens to your guardian angel after you die? (32:21) Gabriel - Are exorcist’s prayers good say, since they have experience in that? There is a prayer book with liberation prayers for lay people. (38:48) Mary - A friend of mine died in-home hospice. Towards the end, she was forced to eat and drink. The hospice nurse gave a beautiful explanation. (44:08) OpenAI’s models hacked into Hugging Face on their own (46:48)

Patrick welcomes questions that reach from Catholic faith and science, like connecting Adam and Eve to evolution, to family struggles over a loved one joining a zealous group, and the emotional weight of defending Church teachings with clarity and love. Listeners voice worries about things such as white wine in the chalice, hydration for a fading parent, and even dogs in the pews, while Patrick responds with practical wisdom, heartfelt encouragement, and resources to keep faith at the center. Unexpected, sometimes touching, always honest. Mike - My daughter is learning about evolution. She is trying to square how evolution and Adam and Eve came about? (00:31) Joe - My wife is starting to leave the Church. She has joined another denomination. How do I defend the faith and prove their flaws. (11:51) Colleen - Sunday Mass, I took the precious blood. I saw in the chalice before I consumed it, and it was white wine. Is that the incorrect matter to use? (27:44) Amy - I help teach OCIA. I was a convert myself. There is a little antagonism when you get closer and closer to coming to Church. (33:30) Jackie – My 96-year-old mom had a stroke. She vomits when she takes water. She doesn't want extraordinary means to stay alive. Is withholding IV from her a sin? (42:30) Rose - What is your stance on regular pets in Church during Mass? (48:37)

Patrick teases the upcoming Keep Going album, written with Cyrus and shaped by AI, as a playful, free gift families can enjoy together. He addresses listeners’ concerns about AI as both tool and potential trouble, draws parallels to past inventions like refrigerators, and fields raw, honest conversations about parenting, public schools, and the modern risks kids face—sometimes through a Happy Meal drive-thru memory that’s both funny and sobering. The result mixes anticipation, caution, nostalgia, and encouragement in unexpected turns. Br John Mary (email) - Could the SSPX come back into full communion with the Catholic Church? (04:36) Frank (email) - What can practicing Catholics do on the day of interring their cremated mother’s remains to make it more reverent when no formal service is planned? Eli (email) - If a person’s sincerely well-informed conscience reaches a decision contrary to Church teaching, is the Church effectively saying the individual is wrong and the Church is right no matter how informed they believe themselves to be? (08:52) Jane (email) – AI is a slippery slop to bad, so I’m hesitant to enjoy music made by it (16:27) Anne (email) - Listening this morning to the conversation about AI and Elon Musk's comments is alarming to say the least. It seems that he is glorifying the idea of not having to work or to study. But what do we lose? We lose the opportunity to develop virtue. We are not meant to live lives of leisure. (21:58) Ray (email) - I agree completely with homeschooling or Catholic schooling if you believe your specific child will be negatively influenced by culture to strong extent. (38:18)

Father Robert McTeigue continues his "Novel Prophecies" series with Vladimir Solovyov's A Short Story of the Antichrist.

Sarah Lee Morse was a substitute teacher in Scotland. Students asked her repeatedly about abortion. She answered honestly: "As a faithful Catholic, I don't agree with it. I don't support it." She acknowledged others disagreed. She redirected students to their work. She was dismissed the same day.No warning. No opportunity to explain. Just termination for expressing a religious belief—in response to a question she did not initiate.Morse is now pursuing a discrimination claim based on religious belief. She argues that students should be exposed to differing opinions, not indoctrinated into a single viewpoint. When a student pressed her on abortion in cases of rape, she responded: "I don't think it's right to punish a child for something bad that the parent did."Make the switch today to iCatholicMobile today!iCatholic Mobile—supporting the Catholic faith with every connection.https://www.facebook.com/icatholicmobile https://www.icatholicmobile.com/ HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

As we begin reading the Book of Zephaniah, Fr. Mike draws our attention to the first five accusations Zephaniah declares against the people of Judah: idolatry, lack of prayer, poor leadership, superstitions, and lack of belief in God's judgment.

I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls. 5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives. 6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death—they will see the face of their mother. 7. I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.

Patrick explores the joys and challenges of reading, sharing stories of speed readers, struggles with concentration, and the search for books that uplift rather than distract. He weaves in listener questions on Catholic teaching, the presence of faith on college campuses, cultural superstitions, and lifelong identity in the Church, all while pausing to reflect on how technology shapes our habits. Wholesome recommendations and gentle but pointed insights come together in an hour that pairs lively exchanges with practical encouragement. Laura (email) – I used to read all the time but now it’s harder to concentrate Astrid (email) - My dad's advice backfired (05:32) Marcin (email) - Which would you say was easier to raise your sons or daughters? (06:25) Chris (email) - The evil eye at Costco Stuart – Is it true that no soul is good enough to go to heaven or bad enough to go to hell. (10:29) Paulette - Do Audio books do as much good as real books do? (15:02) Catholic Legacy (19:25) Susan - I am an avid reader but can't find new books to read because of the questionable content including sexual activity bad plot, etc. What is a good source that rates books? (24:46) Todd - I think the Church could do a better job when it comes to addressing superstitions like the evil eye, Italian horn, etc. (35:57) Kevin - How can someone be an ex-Catholic? (41:32) Jackie - I have a friend who is Ukrainian Orthodox who received communion at Catholic Mass. I understand that we can't receive at an Orthodox Church. Is that right? (48:45)

Patrick opens with a flurry of questions about parish sacramental access, shifting straight into parents wrestling with how faith endures when children grow up and step into secular spaces. Unexpected moments surface: a father refusing a suitor, families weighing boundaries, and frustrated reflections on why young adults abandon the beliefs they were raised with, all while the wider culture seems eager to tug them elsewhere. The conversation pivots to why students barely touch books and how even spiritual terms like “Spouse of the Holy Spirit” can unsettle listeners, hinting at how language and habit both drift amid change. Kevin (email) - Denying a Sacrament because of your zip code? (00:54) Email - Do you expect a man to ask your permission before he proposes to your daughter? Do you teach your sons to ask her father's permission before he proposes to a woman? (08:35) Kim - How do I tell my daughter that God loves her? (19:23) Kathy - I am enjoying the topic you are discussing about dating. Can you also talk about evaluating a woman for your son? (28:11) Audio: The absolute state of public education – Schools discourage kids from reading - https://x.com/xxclusionary/status/1843062410414113023?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (33:04) Anne - You are talking about kids not reading. What if we read with our kids? I think that could get them into the story. (41:57) Todd – I don’t care for the term “Spouse of the Holy Spirit”. This doesn't seem to be scripturally based title for Our Lady or based in Catholic doctrine. (44:43)

Patrick brings listeners into unpredictable conversations surrounding faith, reverence, and Catholic identity, weaving stories of Eucharistic practices, Church scandals, and the tension between belief and public life. He fields raw questions about Eucharistic miracles, college faith crises, and Catholic politicians who support abortion, compelling callers to confront uncomfortable truths. With candid storytelling, Patrick propels the discussion forward, sometimes pausing for reflection, sometimes challenging the status quo, always inviting listeners to grapple with the real-world consequences of faith. Jackie - I have a friend who is Ukrainian Orthodox who received communion at Catholic Mass. I understand that we can't receive at an Orthodox Church. Is that right? (00:36) Tye - Can you advise me on how to make it through my first year of college? (04:49) Audio: 32/35 students failed this professor's midterm using AI because he secretly hid some white font in his text. - https://x.com/stoppfeenin/status/2080089314495742209?s=43%22%3Ehttps://x.com/stoppfeenin/status/2080089314495742209?s=43%3C/a (10:47) Todd - A few Sundays ago, a Eucharistic minister gave someone the Eucharist. He put it in his pocket and took one to ingest himself. Will the host he put in his pocket have the same 'effect' for the person receiving it? (13:36) Ray - I want to know about the silence and tolerance of all the money all the dioceses of the country are giving out to silence abused children. Why doesn't the Pope excommunicate them? (21:39) Jim - I watched Masses on TV and in Pittsburgh, and nobody bows their head at the name of Jesus in churches anymore. Old people were taught to bow their heads, but everyone has stopped. (28:57) Jamie - When I was in high school at a Catholic high school, the priest in charge did some harmful things. He was convicted and put in jail. It happens. Also, why doesn't the church come down hard on politicians that are ultimately for abortion? (36:50) Carla - Here we are attacking politicians. Politicians don't tell you to get abortions. The people make the decision themselves. Why are we attacking politicians? People get them because they want them. They're committing the sin. I'm a Catholic and a Democrat. (45:03)

Richard braves self-diagnosed tuberculosis as he and Dr. Gerrit Dirkmaat dig into the mailbag: identical twins listening from two different Zions, an ambitious MTC zone leader, and a great question from Joni. Did a prophet really call Del Parson's red-robe painting the most accurate likeness of Christ? Gerrit explains why that's folklore, and why the anti-Catholic climate of the Second Great Awakening made images of Jesus and even crosses on churches, unthinkable for early American Protestants.  Then the Great Apostates Hall of Shame lands at #8: Ezra Booth, the Methodist minister converted by a miraculous healing in the Hiram, Ohio home, who reportedly walked away once he realized the Restored Church offered no paid clergy.
