The Patrick Madrid Show: July 09, 2026 - Hour 3
The Patrick Madrid Show
Patrick answers questions that span family history, language, and the challenges of Catholic life, blending stories of his upbringing and unexpected lessons from Carmelite Sisters with practical guidance about the canon of Scripture and priestly obedience. He shifts from laughter over grape bricks in Prohibition-era Masses to serious, nuanced advice on excommunication, confession, and the boundaries of loyalty for clergy, all while weaving in listeners’ stories that echo his own. The episode surges with warmth, candor, and an unpredictable mix of the ordinary and the profound. * Mark (email) – Do you speak Spanish a lot at home?
