The Patrick Madrid Show: August 28, 2026 - Hour 3

Patrick explores Catholic teaching through real-life dilemmas, questions, and stories from listeners, highlighting everything from marriage annulments and sacramental discipline to the emotional truth of end-of-life and abortion topics. Amid calls about faith, relics, ministry roles, and conscience, he brings doctrine close to the messiness of daily life, threads personal testimonies with practical wisdom, and blends theological clarity with encouragement for those wrestling with their own situations. Tradition, candid dialogue, and human experience all collide as listeners and Patrick wrestle with what it means to do the right thing.   Mary Jane (email) – I’m remarrying and my future husband is not Catholic (01:14) Lena - My sister wants to touch a necklace with her husband's ashes in it to a relic.
