The Patrick Madrid Show: April 14, 2026 - Hour 2

Patrick answers questions about Catholicism, Baptist faith, suffering, prayer, politics, theology, and personal convictions. Listeners, moved by encouragement and candor, share their journeys and viewpoints as Patrick listens, responds, and challenges them to engage with life’s messiness.   Email – You should run for office Bree - I am on the journey from Protestantism to Catholicism. I am torn about it because I feel peace at the Baptist church, but I think Catholicism makes more sense. (02:47) Gary - I think a lot of Catholics are experiencing 'Cognitive dissonance'. I also just learned about St Louis De Montfort and True Devotion to Mary. Do you have any biblical passages that reference the Immaculate Conception of Mary or the Assumption? (14:29) Cindy - I used a rosary meditation that referred to God as a creature. (19:02) Cecil - I think that the president spoke out against the pope first. I think Trump gets too extreme. The pope has a right to respond to Trump's comments. (21:44) Rick - The Church has been taken over by leftists, and we need to wake up to it. (27:06) Stewart - Suffering and Holiness: Why does suffering seem to be requirement for Holiness? (37:11) Efrank - If you see an apparition, should you report it to your pastor or your bishop? (44:47) Bill - I don't think the Pope mentioned Trump's name. I took it as a hint that Trump was trying to start war. I think that Trump isn't trying to start a war, he is trying to prevent a war.
