The Patrick Madrid Show: June 05, 2026 - Hour 3

Patrick fields listener questions ranging from family challenges in blended households and the priorities Catholics hold in difficult situations, to biblical phenomena like the resurrection of saints in Matthew's Gospel. Rapid-fire shifts bring him to the heart of disputes over public perception, topics like Christian nationalism, and living a faithful Catholic life amid cultural shifts, while listeners recount raw experiences about self-defense, priestly celibacy, and the unexpected benefits of staying home with young children. The episode pulses with stories, real-world dilemmas, and an ever-present call to keep going—practical, sometimes messy, always grounded in faith.   Rosie (email) – Does the husband has an obligation first to his wife. If she isn’t invited, shouldn’t he decline to attend the birthday party? I also thought the church taught God first, spouse second, children third, and everything else after that? (00:37) Patricia - Can you explain Matthew 27 where the tombs are opened? (04:51) Martin (11-years-old) - I heard that you said no one created God. What happened if you took one person away from God. (10:43) Mark - A lot of people are talking about the end of times. I think we need to make it a better world for the next generation instead of focusing on the 'end'.  (13:44) Mary (email) – Keep going Mary - The first Pope was married, so why can’t priests marry now? (25:47) Nathaniel - What do you think about the Crusades? (29:06) Melissa - I want to encourage woman to be stay at home moms. It was the best decision I ever made.  (32:31) Kim – Comment on being bullied (38:10) Jose - What do you think of Christian Nationalism? Is it bad to be proud of our Catholic religion? (44:31)
