The Patrick Madrid Show: August 07, 2026 - Hour 2

Patrick explores practical and often thorny questions at the intersection of Catholic faith and daily decisions, examining everything from consumer choices linked to corporate ethics, to the meaning of receiving Communion under different forms, to candid discussions about confession and the real presence in the Eucharist. He listens to callers wrestling with misunderstandings about church rules, scriptural authority, the mystery of intercessory prayer, and even the raw ache of grief when faith meets tragedy—offering both clarity and encouragement with every exchange.   Matthew - What’s your opinion on patronizing companies who support abortion? (00:40) Danielle - Why does my priest not offer consecrated wine for the parishioners when other parishes do? Can you dip the host in wine? (05:46) Joe - Would the Angel in the Garden of Gethsemane be a good counter example for Protestants who are against intercessory prayer? (11:57) Tim - The example about the invalid mass. When you receive communion under one form of bread, why wouldn't that still be valid then? (20:28) Christine - Protestant friends who left Catholic faith because there are no 'rules' to follow in the Bible. I need help with a response. (26:46) Kim - My son passed away a month ago. Priest said that God did not know that Curtis was going to pass. I thought God was all-knowing? (32:30) Ed - You mentioned scripture about not being prepared. Reminded me of the story you said about the priest's homily of most people heading to hell. (40:35) https://patrickmadrid.substack.com/p/what-this-priest-said-next-left-the
