The Patrick Madrid Show: May 18, 2026 - Hour 1
Patrick opens with a story about art critics mistaking Monet for AI slop, sparking questions about authenticity in a tech-soaked world. He follows twisted threads connecting digital surveillance in China to new digital IDs in the UK, then tosses in stories of hysterical climate predictions, AI anxieties, and the social decay linked to endless scrolling. Children and families become the focus as Patrick unpacks warnings from experts, connecting smartphones, plummeting fertility, and a relentless tide of content that threatens innocence. What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The comments are amazing. - https://x.com/SHL0MS/status/2054280631807316329 Audio: 2016.

The Patrick Madrid Show: May 18, 2026 - Hour 2
Patrick opens with a caller’s honest struggle about sustaining faith and character in environments that never quite align with Catholic convictions, offering advice that blends scriptural grit with lived wisdom. Conversations about the unchecked spread of AI and massive data centers quickly turn uneasy, sparking debate over their promises and the unseen costs shaping towns and families while ordinary life persists. Josh - Is it a problem that I don't talk about my faith? Anne - We have 5 children involved in cybersecurity and AI. Pope Leo wrote about bringing Catholic teaching to industries. I am also concerned about data centers taking up land space. We were offered money for land. Maria - Data Centers take a lot of energy and I believe they raise electricity and they take up a lot of water. I think they could cause a drought. Joe - Why would Protestants care about the rapture? Why was the father of John the Baptist punished? Billy (email) – Is it wrong to take a photo of the Roses at the Basilica while going up for Communion? Jan (email) - Our parish has a priest who doesn't elevate the host and the cup, he doesn't distribute Communion, he doesn't genuflect when he walks by the tabernacle, he doesn't greet his parishioners after Mass, and worst of all, he doesn't like to hear Confessions so he very often refuses to do so. Phil - Data Centers are on a closed-circuit system. It doesn't cause water pollution.

The Patrick Madrid Show: May 18, 2026 - Hour 3
Patrick welcomes listeners into candid conversations that jump from parish life and apologetics to raw, personal struggles with faith, sexuality, and Catholic teaching. He fields everything—children’s questions about darkness and light, the meaning behind the show’s theme song, honest doubts about cremation, and the pain of feeling alienated from the Church—offering compassion without dodging tough truths. Sheryl (email) - There is nothing worth endangering our water supplies and power to the average working American, which is what these data centers will do! Some people are destroying our beautiful and fertile farmland and lessening the food supply to line their pockets. Mike - I am part of a weekly Protestant Bible Study and some of my family has been telling me I shouldn’t go because I am Catholic. What do you think? Charlie - What do you think of people who have fallen away from Church because of negative experiences from other Catholics because of sexuality and other topics? Larry – Can you describe the meaning behind your theme song, Move by Saint Motel? Tom (email) – Data centers will bring jobs Doug – Lately, I noticed that the big issue people get hung up on is Catholics' treatment of gays. I keep hearing conversion therapy as a treatment. Does the Church do this? Xavier (9-years-old) - Did God make darkness? Mary - Our Church put up a Columbarium. When did Church teaching change on this?

The Patrick Madrid Show: May 14, 2026 - Hour 3
Patrick answers questions with raw honesty, moving between callers wrestling with forgiveness, the Eucharist, and predestination, while keeping faith close to lived experience. Listeners open up about shaky relationships and spiritual setbacks, and Patrick responds with clarity that’s sometimes gentle, sometimes blunt, always anchored in Catholic teaching. Chad (email) - I was raised protestant but had no faith whatsoever in my adulthood until a year or so ago. I'm trying to get clarification on Catholic teaching on predestination. I've heard the word "the elect" meaning those chosen by God to go to heaven. I have also heard that God doesn't want anyone "not anyone" to go to hell. So, isn't the whole world "the elect?" Andrew (email) - How would you help someone who has lost faith in Jesus due to tragic circumstances in their lives? Barb - Do any Protestants have the authority to consecrate the Eucharist? Nick - Can you explain more about predestination? Can you expound on working out salvation? Vince - Protestants accuse us of worshipping Mary. How can I explain Mary and devotion to her? How can a mere human be a mother of all on the earth? Chris (email) - Would God make a soul just to damn them to hell? Danny - I have been interested in the priesthood. Can you give me some guidance? Troy - What is the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation?

The Patrick Madrid Show: May 13, 2026 - Hour 1
Patrick opens the hour with prayer, launching day three of the pledge drive and inviting everyone to come together for a common $3 million goal. He fields raw, honest listener questions about Mass language, Eucharistic practices, temptation, and raising teens in the faith, blending stories, Catholic teaching, and even a listener’s homegrown song. Unscripted moments, laughter, and global gratitude tumble through the conversation as Patrick balances spiritual answers with urgent real-time fundraising. Christine (email) - Does the church clean the cloth that is used to wipe the rim of the chalice in a special way if there is wine on it? Paul (email) - Can the ordinary Mass be in English and Latin? Why can't the Mass be celebrated this way? ( Saul (email) – Why does God allow people to controlled by their lust? Yollie - Is praying in tongues from the Holy Spirit? I thought people were doing this but aren’t you supposed to understand what they are saying? Email - My fiancée (19F) and I (22M) were married in a civil ceremony performed by a ‘minister’ ordained under Universal Life Church that obviously lacked canonical form in a complicated affair that was the result of a lot of very difficult circumstances. This not-very-legitimate marriage was legally annulled after 65 days, as we both were not prepared for the reality of legal marriage. She is and was Catholic, I am in OCIA. It is my understanding that when a marriage is performed without proper form, the Catholic Church says no marriage occurred, and so we both should be free to move forward with matrimony in the Church. Do we need to mention our previously annulled marriage to move forward, or is it considered non-existent and therefore irrelevant to the discussion? Kelly (email) - I have a freshman daughter at a Catholic high school, and I recently learned that her sports team had a sleepover where alcohol and edibles (marijuana) were present and consumed. Should I let the coach know? Jim (email) - Letter from management – Keep Going! Madeline (email) - Today's reading from Acts 17 says, "The God who made the world and all that is in it, the Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands." This sounds to me like Jesus isn't present in the Tabernacle! What am I missing here? Barbara - My elderly mother brought the Eucharist home from Church. What should I do?

The Patrick Madrid Show: May 13, 2026 - Hour 2
Patrick opens the hour with prayer and jumps into real questions from callers—faith, the reality of suffering, how Catholic teaching responds to life’s messiness. Listeners raise everything from why Jesus chose the cross to whether animals can be in heaven; Patrick patiently explains, connects, and sometimes surprises with his clarity. Henry - Is suffering a perfect gift to God? How should I understand this? Elly - What does it mean to carry the cross in our own lives? Debbie - If Lutherans don’t agree with us, why are their churches named after saints? David (email) - Do animals/pets go to heaven? Mac (email) - I am a teacher at an all-boys Catholic Highschool. I am aware of an instance whereby there was a desecration of the Holy Eucharist. It was in a Catholic high school that has secularized leanings. Is there a formal process to notify the "Church"? If so, what is likely to happen? Might there be an inquiry? Monica (email) - What is the on-line Catholic Faith course for beginners? Mary (email) – I need help showing my friend see how Scripture and Tradition work together. Angela (email) - Is it a requirement to bow before receiving Communion? Elisabeth (email) - I have decided to offer my fasting today and tomorrow for the success of your pledge drive. Laura (email) – Was it okay to write a letter to Mother Mary and to leave it at a shrine?
