The Patrick Madrid Show: April 20, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick opens with a heartfelt email questioning the current state of the Society of St. Pius X, offering resources and context for listeners struggling with similar concerns. Throughout the hour, he fields lively calls on topics from anti-Catholicism’s evolution in America and the morality of acupuncture to the spike in tattoo removal, stem cell therapy ethics, and the layered meaning behind the woman in Revelation 12. Questions come fast and topics twist, but Catholic teaching and candid stories shape every response.   Bill (email) - What resources can you recommend in dialoguing with friends involved in SSPX? (00:45) Alex - I am disturbed by the rise of “No Nothingism” in the US.
