The Patrick Madrid Show: January 09, 2026 - Hour 2

Patrick responds to listeners wrestling with parish turmoil, scandal, and the tensions between Catholicism and Protestant churches, grounding his advice in Scripture and personal anecdotes. Communion debates, worries about Church "rules," and calls for prayer get honest airtime—he draws from stories of saints, practical analogies, and candid self-reflection. The hour moves quickly, shifting from heartfelt concern to moments of gentle humor, offering reassurance and clarity without shying away from uncomfortable truths.   Cynthia - How do I know if and when I should leave my parish because my priest is not living right? (00:40) Joe - I want to thank you for explaining hermeneutics the other day. Can you defend Protestantism? (15:10) Jim - You were discussing Baptism. Pope JPII said that 'you are Christ'. Can you help me understand this? (23:43) Jennifer - We need to be united as Catholics, and we need to be patient and persevere. (27:55) Vanessa - Why is it acceptable to not go to daily Mass because it is not Latin? (33:21) Mary Ann - My husband is a great Protestant man but doesn't go to Church. Also, my friends are Protestant but don't want to be Catholic because it is too hard. (38:20) Joseph - How old do you think the world is? I think it is only 6,000-7,000 years. (48:29)
