The Patrick Madrid Show: July 22, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick opens with reflections on faith, everyday choices, and the modern Catholic experience, threading through topics like Pope Leo XIV’s message to the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage and how American Catholics pray for unity at the nation’s 250th anniversary. He confronts thorny questions about SSPX excommunications, homeschooling, and the tough decisions parents face around school culture and innocence, breaking these down with specific details about confession, canon law, and discipline. Humor seeps in through animated burger debates and rapid-fire reflections on family life, addiction, temperance, and unexpected listener calls.   05:23 Eucharist’s role in pilgrimage 09:39 Understanding Excommunication in Church 11:50 SSPX excommunication and reconciliation 16:29 Schism and SSPX lay members 17:48 SSPX reconciliation procedures 23:25 Adam's role in naming animals 28:22 Concerns about kids and smartphones 31:19 Homeschooling and socialization benefits 37:40 Discussing moderation and addiction 38:53 Discussing addiction and temperance 44:01 Discussing Alcohol Consumption Approaches 45:33 Catholic in Recovery program details
