The Patrick Madrid Show: February 02, 2026 - Hour 2

Patrick steers an hour crackling with listener calls about Catholic burial, interfaith family tensions, and tough questions of faith, cutting straight to personal stories and cultural flashpoints. He fields debates on sleepovers, Buddhist retreats, immigration protests, and celebrity activism, all while the pledge drive pushes generosity and invites every voice to reconnect with Catholic tradition. Some moments are gentle, others jolt, but Patrick stays sharp, offering clarity as the discussion tumbles between prayer and the pressures swirling outside.   Audio: No Sleepovers (00:15) Zyra - Is it ok for Catholic to go to a Vipassana retreat?
